Narrator / Captain Kennelly (0:35)
21st. Preaching, Sergeant Waters. What do you mean, suspicious men? Where are they? They both sit in the car. What kind of a car? Yeah, yeah. You are by transcription in the muster room at the 21st Precinct, the nerve center. A call is coming through. You will follow the action taken pursuant to that call from this minute until the final report is written in the 124 room at the 21st Precinct. Okay, I'll send the officers over there to have a look now. You don't have to worry about that. All right. Yeah. 21st Precinct. It's just lines on a map of the city of New York. Most of the 173,000 people wedged into the 9/10 of a square mile between Fifth Avenue and the east river wouldn't know if you asked them that they lived or worked in the 21st. Whether they know it or not, the security of their homes, their persons and their property is the job of the men of the 21st Precinct. The 21st. 160 patrolmen, 11 sergeants and four lieutenants, of whom I'm the board. My name is Kennelly. Thank Canelli. I'm Captain in command of the 21st. I was working my day tour, 8am to 6pm it was 7:25 when I arrived at the station house. I signed the blotter and went into my office where I changed into uniform. Then, since it had been 24 hours since I was last on duty, I sat down at my desk to glance over reports and communications covering that time in order to bring myself up to date on conditions in the precinct before I turned out the 8 to 4 platoon, 21st person. Captain Canelli, Sergeant Rosen on P.S. captain. Yes, Sergeant? Patrolman Dylan is out here. He'd like permission to talk to you. Is he working the 8 to 4? Yes, sir. All right, tell him to come in. Okay, Captain. Okay, Dylan. All right. Sagin. Yes, sir? Is Lt. King in the house yet? I haven't seen him come in, Captain. All right, let me know when he does. Captain, Come in. Oh, Come in, Dylan. Catch me. Morning, Captain. Dylan. One of it. There was an envelope left for me at the station house yesterday, Captain. Yeah? It had a hundred dollars in it. In cash? Yes, sir. Oh, that's it? I don't know, sir. There was no name. Where was it left? At the desktop, Captain. It was in the mail rack. Were you on the job yesterday? Yes, sir. When did you find it in the rack? When I came off the tour. Exactly what was in the envelope? 5$20 bills and short notes. I wanted the note say the church said, with much gratitude to fine young public servant. No signature? No, sir. No return address on the envelope? No, sir. How is the envelope address? I just had my name and my seal number on it. Was it handwritten or typed? Handwritten. A note to. Where are they? I have them here. All right, let's see them. All right. Pretty good paper. Yes, sir. Nice. Nice and heavy. This is just how it came. It was sealed, Captain. Yes, I understand that. You have any idea who brought it in? Osa. Why didn't you turn it into the desk officer as soon as you received it? Well, Captain, I didn't open up the envelope until I got home. You mean there was a letter in the rack for you and you didn't open it until you got home last night? No, sir, I didn't. You saw what it was and you decided to bring it right in to me this morning? Yes, sir. Well, I'm glad you understand it's contrary to the rules to accept gratuities. Yes, sir, I understand it. Between you and me, Dylan, it's also contrary to the rules to think about it overnight. I didn't open up the envelope until I got home, Captain. I couldn't come back with a last night. Yes, I understand. You haven't any idea where this Hunter Daleks came from? North me. Lieutenant Gorman was on the job as desk officer yesterday during the aid to fall, wasn't he? Yes, sir. And who had TS duties? Sergeant Waters the first four hours and Sergeant Tierney the second four. Well, which one of the three of them received this envelope? I don't know, Captain. Sit down, Dylan. Okay. First precinct. Sergeant Rosen. Sergeant. Is Lieutenant Gorman out at the desk yet? No, sir, he just came in. He's changing. Did you see Sergeant Waters around there? I see Sergeant Waters in the back room. Yes, sir. All right, go get him and ask him to step into my office. Yes, sir. What about Lieutenant Gorman? You want to see him? I'll let you know after I talk to Sergeant Morris. Yes. You. You have no idea where this money came from, huh, Dylan? No, sir. You mean you've been a fine young public servant on so many occasions that it would be just impossible to recall one particular incident? No, sir. It's just that. Well, it's not that. I just have no recollection of anything I did that might lead to this. Well, it appears to be a woman's handwriting. Does that help any? Oh, sir, I went through every page of my memorandum book back for the last four or five weeks. There wasn't a thing in there nor anything else that I could recall. Mm. Yeah, it's pretty good paper, all right. Real heavy stuff. Yes, sir. And Brandon, new 20s. Come in. Guide your rose and said you wanted a. Yes, Sergeant. Come in. Yes, sir. Hello, gentlemen. Sergeant. Warden. What time did you have telephone switchboard duty yesterday, Sergeant? Known to the end of the tour, Captain. You recognize this envelope? Oh, yeah. Lieutenant Gromo was busy booking a prisoner one of the detectives brought down. Woman came in the front door, and I asked her if I could help her. Said she wanted to leave an oath for Patrolman Dylan. This was it. I took a bite and put it in the rack. Did the woman leave her name? No, sir. You didn't recognize her as anyone you know? No, sir. How old a woman was she? Well, late 60s or early 70s, I'd say, captain. She wasn't young. Does that make it easier for you, Dylan? Oh, sir. What'd she look like, Sergeant? Well, she was pretty well dressed. She had on a fruit coat. I imagine she was 53 or 5 4, rather. On the thin side. Gray hair and she wore glasses. There was a little bit of class about it. What'd she say to you, Sergeant? She asked if you could leave an envelope for Patrolman Dillon. I said, yeah, sure. She wanted to know if he'd be sure to get it. I told her we're working on that soon. I'd leave it in the mail rack, let everybody check the mail rack when they come in off the job. She have anything else to say? Well, nothing important. Lieutenant was booking a narcotics prisoner, and I could see she was a little bit fascinated about that. She would try and make small talks if around a few minutes longer. What kind of small town? Well, she was telling me about a trip she just got back from Nashville. She spent about six weeks down there. Said she went before Christmas. Yes, sir. Told me she traveled all over the world by herself at one time or another. The only continent she hadn't been to was Australia. Pretty interesting doll dame. Did she tell you exactly when she got back? Monday I think she said, yes, sir. Monday. There's nothing you can recall Monday or Tuesday, is there, Dylan? No, sir. I was off Monday and Tuesday. What about yesterday? I was saying yesterday, Captain. Well, it must have been before she went away. Yes, sir. The woman left a gratuity of $100 for Dylan, Sergeant. Did she? Don't you have any idea who it was? I'll see. Must have been before Christmas. You still have the pages in your memorandum book that go back that. Yes, yes, they're down to my lobby. Well, without referring to your memorandum book, do you have any recollection of any occurrence involving a woman such as Sergeant Waters described? Any recollection of anything that occurred before Christmas sometime? No, sir, not. Not offhand. Were you assigned to your present post then? No, sir. I was on number seven. I was on number seven for about two months before the first of the year. Wait a minute. Yes, there was something that happened right around the middle of December that might have a connection. What's that? Well, I don't know whether this is it or not. What? I was on post there and I saw a woman flag a taxi. A woman such as Sergeant Waters described? Yes, sir. The cab pulled into this bus stop. The driver opened the door and she started to get in. Just as she was getting in a car, Tom Buck came up and bumped the cab in the back. Not hard, was stopping. There was a nice patch in the street. I guess the driver missed. Anyway, it knocked the cab forward a little bit and threw her into the gutter. Well, I went across and I picked her up. She wasn't hurt bad. Skinned the palm of her hands, I think, and one knee worn, a pair of stockings and a pair of gloves. Yeah, I know. There wasn't any damage to the bus and none to the cab either. I got the name of the bus driver and let him go. I sat the lady in the back of the cab and asked her if she wanted to go to the hospital. She said she wasn't hurt, but I tried to talk on her going to the hospital. You think this might have been the woman? Well, Captain, it's the only instance I remember. But to tell you the truth, I don't see why she'd be grateful. $100 worth. He was the victim of an accident and I was there. I just did what I could. And you make out an aided car? Yes, sir, but she refused medical aid. About December 15, you say? Yes, sir, about the middle of December. Cabin before Christmas. Sergeant, will you see if you can find that UF6 in the final okay, Captain. Was it our 66 or 65th, Dylan? 66, Sergeant. Bus was eastbound if I remember. 6ft 6 to Madison, I think. Okay. I got the pages from my memorandum book down in my locker cabin. Her name and address should be on the. On the six. Yes sir, they are. I don't see why she should be the one though, Captain. I didn't do anything for her. Sometimes a kind word can go a long way. 21st Precinct. Captain Canali. Sergeant Rosen on P.S. captain, Lieutenant King is ringing down for you. Okay. Hello, Matt. Yes, Captain. Listen, Matt. I came in this morning and the desk officer told me we had a call about two suspicious men in an automobile parked on 89th street in Lexington. This morning about three. He sent a car over there to take a look and it turned out to be two detectives from the Safe and Lock squad on a plant. Now we're supposed to get notification when there's a plant in this precinct. This is the first I've heard of it, Captain. When we get a call about two suspicious men in an automobile at 2:30 in the morning, we've got to send over there and look into it. Supposing whoever they were watching there saw these uniformed officers stop. Well, that might spoil a collar for the detectives. I didn't even know they were in the precinct, Captain. I'll check into it and see why the Tesla officer wasn't notified. Well, you go ahead and check into it, Matt. I'm going to send a 49 downtown anyway. Okay, Captain. Let you know what they say. I'd be interested. See you, Matt. Yes, sir. Did you tell your wife about the envelope, Dylan? Yes, sir. What'd she have to say? Well, come in. Oh, come in for that. Yes. I found it, Captain. December 16th. That's about right. What's the woman's name? Edna Coskill, 67 years old. 783 East 70th 3. Oh, yeah, yeah. When are you on TS today, Sergeant. The early part of the tour. All right. Soon as you go out on patrol, take a ride over and see Mrs. Coleskill. You know if it's the same woman who left the envelope? Yes, sir. Well, now you're excused, Dylan. Better change in the uniform. That's it. Thank you, Captain. You're welcome. Color? I'm much obliged, ser. I will if it's the same woman. Here you are, Sergeant. If it's her, get her to see. Yes, sir. Oh, I know that house. That's a private residence. One of those old mansions. I. I think this lady's going to turn out to be a rich dowager. Yeah, well, you make her $100 richer. You're listening to 21st Precinct.
