fiSLSULSLJiSLSlSULJLSLJLSULJLSLkSiSiSLSLSLSLS^
CoLONEL.f — Dr. Simon, I understand that tonight’s ease concerns Eddie Doll, alias Eddie Larue, alias Burlington Eddie, aUas Edward Foley.
Simon. — Yes, Colonel Schwarzkopf. The case starts on September i6, 1930. Late at night, in the gang’s hide-out at Lincoln, Nebraska, a barren room in the back part of a dilapidated apartment house. The shades were drawn, the windows sealed. The room was stuffy . . . blue with smoke ... a tenseness was in the air. The gang was waiting nervously.
Sound. — Sneak in footsteps walking back and forth.
Rogers. — Sit down. Buck, and take a load off yer feet !
Tim. — Yeah. You gimme the willies walking around!
Buck. — We may have ter bump the two guards off. . . .
Rogers. — Forget it. Wait until Eddie Doll gets here. He’s got all the low-down.
Tim.^ — I’m glad Doll has joined up with the gang. He’s got a cool head. . . . He’s slick. . . . He ain’t one of these guys that goes off half cocked.
Buck. — This is going ter be the smoothest bank job ever pulled in this country 1
Sound. — Three knocks . . . two knocks.
Buck. — There’s Doll now. . . .
{Half fade)
Tim. — Make sure before you unbolt that door.
Sound. — Footsteps under Tim's line.
