Now, that's 1487, is that right? Yeah, in the restroom. You are 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. All right, I'll send the officers right over there. Yeah, right away. You just wait there. Show them where it is. Yeah, just wait right there. Okay. 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 boss. My name is Cronin, Vincent P. Cronan. I am captain in command of the 21st Precinct. I was doing night duty 4pm to 8am it had been raining hard when I came on the job, and it continued to rain throughout the night. After I turned out the platoon for the 12 to 8 tour at midnight, I went on patrol of the precinct in sector car number three. I returned to the station house at 3:30am to read and sign reports and communications. I caught up generally with the voluminous paperwork that plagues commanding offices. Because he is on the job more than 16 consecutive hours when he works night duty, it is both permitted and recommended that the precinct commander get some rest during the early hours of the morning, if conditions permit. So shortly after 4am I went to sleep on the couch in my office with instructions to the desk officer, Lieutenant Snyder, that I be awakened in time to turn out the platoon for the day tour. Captain. Excuse me, Captain. Huh? Yes? I'm sorry. Huh? What is he saying? We've got a homicide. Oh, where? 1487. Waxing tuna restaurant. The pastry chef, you know, the baker, he was shot twice. The car on the way here for me? Yes, sir. I put out a call. It'll be here for you in a minute. Okay. What time is it, Sergeant? 5:25. How was it? Robbery. Could be. Still raining? Yes, sir. You'd better take your raincoat. The information we've got so far is that the pastry chef comes to work at midnight. The restaurant closes at one in the morning, but the pastry chef works all night in the kitchen, alone, baking. Kitchen help starts coming in a little after five. First one to come in the job found the baker on the floor. Place a rest. Your car's outside, Captain. Okay, as soon as I sign the blotter. Now, here goes. That's probably the press starting to burn in here. What detectives are all Lieutenant Vitali and Howard, Captain. What about Lieutenant King? They notified him at home. He's on his way. He was around here till after two. Probably didn't get a chance to even get the bed warm. Well, there's a sure cure for that, Captain. He could have his phone taken out. Yeah, within a few minutes, sector car number two had driven me to 1487 Lexington Avenue. The scene of the homicide. Was still raining hard when we pulled up to the place. The front of the restaurant, a large and popular place, was dark. The flashlights of police officers inside could be seen poking around the empty dining room. I instructed the operator of the car to pull around to the kitchen entrance. On the cross street, parked there were two sector cars, the patrol sergeant's car, the detective squad car and an ambulance. I got out of my car, crossed the sidewalk to the kitchen door where a patrolman had been posted by Sergeant Lyons to keep out unauthorized persons. The patrolman opened the door as I approached. Okay, my son. Sergeant. Hello, Captain. What have we got? Want to take a look? Yeah, it looks like robbery. Color was in here alone. That's just the way he was found. You see, one shot got him in the shoulder, the other one in the forehead. His name is Eugene Francis Wilmot. According to some cards that were in his street clothes hanging on the hook over there. He resided at 2119 Mill Avenue in the Bronx. And he's 31 years old. He's the baker here, Captain. He comes to work at midnight. He's here all alone. After the place closes at 1am he makes rolls and bread, pies, cakes and so forth. He works all night until 8am you want to take a look over here, Captain? Yes. The boss usually doesn't get in to open a Safe till after 8 in the morning. The place opens for business at 6:30, so it's been the custom to leave about a hundred dollars in coins and small bills locked in this drawer right here. The early cashier has a key to the drawer. He uses the money for change until the boss gets in. Really hacked away on that drawer, didn't he? Yes, sir, he did. Apparently, with that meat cleaver there, must have taken a good 10 minutes to get it open. No sign of the gun around? No, sir. He must have taken it away with him. He or they? Yes, sir, he or they. The detectives there talking to the fellow that found him rang in. That fellow over there, Emilio Aguada, he's the fry cook. He's due in here a quarter after five. Now slow then. Yes, sir. Oh, you don't need all these men around here, Sergeant. Get some of them back on the job. Okay. I thought he was sick or something. Faint, if that's what I thought. All right. Oh, hello, Captain. Captain. Captain, this is Emilio Aguada. He found the body. He's the fry cook here. I come in and there he was, right in the middle of the floor, dead. Blood all over. How'd you get in, Emilio? Well, just like every morning with my key. I wasn't standing open. It was locked. I use my key. He always worked alone here at night, Emilio? Yeah. He baked all night. So we have fresh rolls, bread, cakes, so forth. In the morning, you see, we got a sign in the dining room. All baking done on the premises. He did it. Wilmot. Did he always work here alone? Oh, yeah. All alone. Yeah. Yeah. And you were always the first employee here in the morning? Always. I'm the fry cook. I gotta get things heated up. The deep fat fryers for the breakfast sauce. You know, French fries like that. Was the baker always here? From the time the restaurant closed at 1am until you came to work? Yeah, yeah. We had to have rolls and bread and danishes. Did you ever see anybody with him or did he ever tell you he had friends then visiting him during the night? Well, yeah, once in a while. Once in a while what? Once in a while he's had company. He didn't come into work until midnight. Once in a while he's had a date. He'd bring her in a kitchen. He works, he keep him company. Did you ever see a woman in here with him? Oh, yeah. Yeah, once in a while. Oh, always the same woman? Yes. He went with her. Do you know her name? Where she's married woman. She's got husbands. I don't like to make her any trouble. She's got trouble whether you make it for her or not. Don't you think so, Emilio? Yeah, yeah, she's got it all right. What's her name? Edna. Edna what? Edna I don't know. He is Lt. King. He said that in the. What? But I don't remember. Hello, Captain. Mine boy. Lieutenant. Lieutenant. Lieutenant, this is Emilio Iguana. He found the body. Lieutenant King. Emilio is commanding officer of the 21st attack. How do you do? What's it look like? Wedding a drawer about $100 was kept was broken open. Lieutenant. Robbery? Maybe. But Emilio here says the victim never opened the door for anyone he didn't know. Isn't that right? Yeah, I forgot my key one morning. I had some time convincing him it was me before he'd opened the door. Well, this time it looks like he was convinced.
