Chronicle well I thought you'd like to make a statement about what Conroy sure you can quote I am happy that such an investigation has been started since it can only clear me of all charges leveled against me by the gentlemen of the press of this city thank you can anytime you're a friend of the Conroy's how do you mean you know that no teragrams is a friend of Matt Conroy's we all grew up in the same neighborhood yes years ago one of the finest men I ever knew I thought you kept that friendship up you guys get the idea the diploma you'll get when you graduate from journalism school makes you different from anybody else don't believe it that's a lot of money for a whiskey salesman and me even for a man that does sell whiskey it's all on the income tax report of course it is now let's talk about the Manzanares case never heard of it I'll refresh your memory 1948 Peter Manzanares was a produce dealer who refused to pay to the organization he took a trip to Canada and he never came back maybe that guy liked to trap your attention here March 1948 he took a leave of absence from the police force you were gone three weeks a vacation did you like Canada I've never been to Canada you and Jimmy chaplain to Canada you took minds and Addie's to Canada and you murdered them I said I've never been to Canada I don't know Manzanares and I never heard of Jimmy chop Manzanares left town the same time as you and Jimmy chow the big town people come people go March 27 you resign from the police force on the same day you went to work the Eichelberger the second day the first day we talk terms selling whiskey I didn't sell whiskey then what did you do odd jobs killing people jobs like that you're cute too the fact is that you are shaking down a lot of small-time bookmakers Eichelberger got you off he did you a favor and you did him one you arranged demands Inari's killing I never heard so much junk in my life you are a cop celebrating your sold-out battle only and if it's the last thing I do I'm going to nail you alright see if Jimmy chop has a better memory you can go my friend but not for long I'd rather nail one crooked cop than 100 hooligans get out you just gotta find that man zanotti she'll like blur it no no just leave it I don't know what mr. Connor I'll be back understanding else miss no thank you I have your story do you mind I don't mind anything it's plenty plot coffee there I'll see you right very well thank you do you don't see very much of us do you I think the whole bunch of your clever ones all get up and I thought I said so on this tile it was all but heroic it's the style I mean it has a twist to it such as such as if the pulp mills of America can continue supplying enough paper to this efficient staff something has come to light the detached cynical observer faintly amused by the follies of other humans well that's all there I am and it carries over into your personal attitude McKibben you're heavy with it get a firm hold on yourself thanks I will as a matter of fact not all people are happiest being exhibitionist but I am I supposed I didn't say that defective entrance again forgive me for not rising proof of my exhibitionism I imagine is for a girl whose experience with crime has been limited to a parking ticket and you're quite a girl stick her nose into a professional clean up campaign why should I well barefoot into the pigsty it had crossed my mind do you want me to tell you not particularly you prefer your own explanation frankly it doesn't make any difference one way or another you're a handsome dame who does what she wants to do so why worry about why well I think we're in business we've located mrs.

Martin I said that was just like Matt Conroy brave as a tiger that's what he was brave as a tiger thank you very much mr. Larkin you're very kind Mary is there anything I can do for you I don't think there's such a brave man should be killed by such fools Jiri yeah I think I should know what I think it's important to all of us know what Batman what about Nana step in front of a bulletin now he's waiting to be buried what else Jerry don't close me out I've never felt so lost last night everything seems so simple Mandy you don't believe it was accidental no why not what did you man talk about at my place why did you follow him downtown years ago it seems he took some money I gather it was to put Johnny through college they were using him and upon my excellent advice he tried to double-cross them what do I do now call the cops and what do I tell Johnny about his father that he was a crook and how can I tell him about us now Mandy would you did you come in a minute no mother station WR RG again takes you to the offices of the Crime Commission where John Conroy and his staff continue their relentless questioning of witnesses alleged to be connected with the so called syndicate Conroy is out to break mr. Eichelberger we'd like to ask you about some of the statements you made you are investigators if you don't mind not at all and to talk about anything my part mr. Conroy I'll be happy to get on the record and clean up some of the things they've been printing about me I've got a statement here I'd like to read you can put it in the record later all right you're in the trucking business mr. Eichelberger that's right have been for years run a lot of trucks and how would you estimate your income for that business well it's all on the tax record mr. Conroy I couldn't say off am well would you say about $100,000 yes I guess so little more or less and you have other sources of income that's right would you tell us what they are well they're very die on few pieces of other businesses and I learned a good deal of money here and they're charge interest you lend money to bookies now that I couldn't say I lend money to people I know what they do with it I don't always know huh they could be bookies some of these people they could have that mr. West some of them I wouldn't know and the control of all this money mr. Eichelberger wouldn't you say that gives you control of these bookies no I wouldn't that's what they like to say about me czar of the bookies that's nonsense it isn't true I lent money just like a bank does did it ever occur to you miss Eichelberger did you ever suspect for a moment that this money was being used for illegal purposes I worried about it for years anybody who has as many friends as I have is bound to know a few and in these times you you come to realize that you could be sitting on a powder keg and not knowing it you see a lot of people helped me get started helped me a lot so how can I always act like a bank you would get notes for these loans as you call them mr. Eichelberger sometimes yes they would be given to you directly well one way or another and if stuck was the security it would be registered to you sometimes yes I'm assuming that you are a good businessman mr. Eichelberger what that I'll go a long way and that you'd see that these loans to these friends of yours would be handled in a businesslike way you watch your pocketbook you learn that did you occasionally buy these stocks well I guess you could call it that sometimes I buy them and hold them sometimes I wouldn't times I'd just put them in the safe and on the occasions when you did buy them you'd use some sort of Clearinghouse for these security transactions I suppose ah that's right isn't it a fact mr. Eichelberger that you own a company for just that purpose no that's not true I don't own it have some shares in a securities company what company is that well I'd like to consult with my lawyer go ahead one Arco securities have done some business with them among others and the cash transactions you kept a record of those stick Conroy you make it sound like I was loaning millions as a matter of fact you were weren't you that is if we accept for a moment the premise that they were all loans no I was and that's what comes of all as sensationalism the kind of stuff the papers have been printing a guy makes a $2.00 bet he's a big gambler I had blend a few bucks Namas are you wish to say that there is not a large thoroughly organized syndicate centered in this city I don't know about it being organized but as long as gambling is illegal and profitable it'll always be there tell me mr. Conroy how many people in this room do you believe never made a $2 bet station WR RG returning you to the Harrison hotel headquarters of the Conroy committee John Conroy continues his questioning of miss Lillian Smith farmer lady friend of Roy Ackerman that's when you came back from Florida yeah right about that time I guess and you gave a series of parties here in the city I didn't give any party some fellows gave party if I could parties I got a paid for him why should I do that when the party's over fellas did Roy Ackerman come to any of these parties that's no I wouldn't even having her around how much money did you have when you came back from Florida 15,000 20,000 more or less how should I know five or six thousand dollars wouldn't make any difference to you I don't know much about money I just use it for spendin where did you get the money Oh fellas where else that's a silly question this meeting will recess until 2 p.m. wrog now brings you the third day of the Conroy committee investigations John Conroy has for the past hour been attempting to break down the testimony of another alleged member of the Eichelberger syndicate that was in June 1935 I was your salary

stock $25,000 worth of stuck on an $80 salary whoa know what you see I had let me remind you that you're under oath to whom did you sell the stocks well I think it was a long time ago maybe it was

Eichelberger how many more people do you want me to kill I dug up a story a murder story and if we play it right and have any luck we can panic them into making a sucker move what we're if we can get one man close enough to going to the chair a whole couple spillover what murder I'm gonna knock you to your knees again Johnny you'll have to get me on my feet first Matt's murder that wasn't a deep shooting his way out of a store it was a planned execution all the way down the lines of the double-cross of the little guy they used why what would be their motive Matt was working with him he told me saw himself he was trying to shake loose no believe of course not check it yourself take a look at his income tax returns from 1939 on Tony yes ma'am what is this you've been down here two hours nothing just some papers of dads and let's see what did you like something glass of milk no thanks dog we gotta get back downtown there's something wrong nothing more than usual good night I can't stop you from printing it Jerry all you have to do is ask my father was a crooked cop you can decide how much good it will do to publicize that and what it'll do to my mother but before you decide you must know that I'm quitting I'm gonna go home Johnny that means the whole investigation collapses are you gonna plunge someone else Willy you know they won't they'll dig into the record and find out that all this time and all this money produced absolutely nothing but the sacred investigation was a complete flop and from then on they'll play political hopscotch a committee will be appointed to investigate the investigation and in due time they'll return with a comprehensive report that'll be promptly filed and forgotten and in the meantime the people who wind up right where they were the mercy of the hoodlums is it important to you yes it is you're the boy in the Sun now huh maybe I am Johnny but something occurs to me even allowing for the apathy of the people and their lack of integrity in their occasional lack of intelligence and that's the fact that they all want desperately to believe in a certain majesty of the law and for people like us like you and me the greatest crime in law is the lack of faith in the law and that's when we join hands with the hoodlums if they can convince us of the uselessness of knocking out crimes of difficulty the fact that personal sacrifices may be too great and we might as well hand over the city in the state and the nation to to the knee like all burgers and let them run it for us it's a very late point of view coming from you but a timely one I suppose terms of a newspaper story but I don't think I need a speech about honor and integrity from either one of you [Music] I understood what you meant about Jeremy I'm sorry I couldn't have told you it's unimportant I can't apologize I ask your forgiveness I can only ask you to try and understand and believe that we tried very hard not to have it happen but Johnny don't let us in flaunt your decision if you walk out now you'll regret it all your life isn't it a tragic thing people all over this nation can be told that a man like a Cobra we can tear a man like you apart with his dirty fingers what are we coming to Johnny a man like the head can do this to all of us no no this is Conroy come on Jimmy I'm holding a press conference in my office at ten o'clock I'm giving them the facts about my father you're gonna stick with the job yes I'm calling you now so you can have whatever leave this material Johnny what about your mother I think you pointed out that sometimes a few people have to pay an exorbitant price to help the law [Music] I want to talk to mr. mr.
