Hey, I'm Corey, I'm here at Blackstar Amps, and next to me is the Artisan 30. We're celebrating 10 years of Blackstar Amps this year, and back in 2007, Blackstar launched into the world and introduced the Artisan series. The Artisan 30 is a 212 combo and 30 watts, but there's more under the hood that makes this particular amp really unique. For starters, it has EL84 power tubes, and that's the sound of classic, iconic British amplifiers, but the preamp section is different between channel 1 and channel 2. Channel 1 has EF86 preamp tubes, channel 2 has 12AX7 preamp tubes. If you're unfamiliar with the sound of those two preamp sections, an EF86 is a little bit more aggressive and has a little bit more top end. So channel 1 is definitely going to be alive and kicking. Channel 2 is a 12AX7 preamp tube, which are common. It's a little bit smoother. And while it's just as great sounding as channel 1, it has its own distinct smoother personality. So you have the choice between something that is smooth or something that's more aggressive. And like I said, that preamp section is pushing into an EL84 output section to give you 30 watts of power, but it also has a pentode triode switch, and if you're unfamiliar with what that is, pentode is a way that you can use all of the power amp tubes. So all of your EL84 power tubes are used. If you switch that down to a triode setting, it's cutting off half of the power of the power section. So if you switch that switch down to a triode setting, it's cutting off half of the power. And it pulls it from 30 watts down to 10. I know the math is a little weird, but pentode triode is a way to give you 30 watts and 10 watts in the same amp by only using parts of the power section. Now the Blackstar Artisan Series is available in a head or a combo, and the 30 watt combo next to me has two selection vintage 30s in it, has the 30 watt, 10 watt switch, two channels, EF86 or 12 EX7 front end, and really with it being a hand wire circuit in a Baltic Birch combo cabinet, Blackstar's Artisan 30 is their interpretation of some benchmark British amplifiers. Although it was born in 2007 and it was Blackstar's introduction to the world, it's still available today and still totally awesome.

Hello everybody! My name is Lukas Doktor, I'm from a Verde team from Red Hat Check and today I'd like to talk about about Q Performance Regression CI. I sent this email proposal for a regular upstream performance testing more than half a year ago. I explained the motivation there, which in short is that although developers occasionally check some commits, they consider important for performance regressions or changes and we do some regular performance CI. We still hit some of the issues only during the pre-release performance testing and it's already too late to really discover what caused this change. We would like to change it, so we would like to inspire from the CI what it did like 5-10 years ago, where it moved upstream closer to development, ideally each build which still is not our goal because it's not that easily done with performance due to hardware limitations. Again, describing that email, but really to move closer to ideally pinpoint all those individual changes to be able to decide whether the changes are important enough to cause this change. To limit the scope, I'm not talking about TCG performance, I'm not talking about low-level stuff. I'm really interested in system-wide full-blown OS testing like FIO or U-Perf running inside the guest. There was a short discussion and it vanished to nowhere. Important outcome was that first nobody is aware of anybody or was aware of anybody doing that and nobody was aware of any tool that would simplify this or allow doing us that. So I went ahead and created this set of tools around that can be run in CI as well as locally. The workflow could look like, everything started with a developer who sends a patch, eventually it gets merged and to accept it somewhere in a branch we can detect that, run our pipelines and hopefully eventually detect a change. I overlooked this around a bisection job between the two points, maybe limiting the set of tests only to those affected and the bisection hopefully if it's reliable enough it finds out the regression or in this case the improvement. Now I can create some report, like the minimum, well I can imagine that should be there is some detailed information about that. Sorry, nbd.fio file to be able to run the same file test easily, the libbird.xml files if they are used and the bisection report with all those informations. Don't be scared, you don't usually use the first table because it's just some metadata section. You don't usually need to group such as either because this is mainly for managers but you do, you should pay attention to the list of failures. Because there you can see basically build per each commit, QMU hash and you can see the relative percentage of the throughputs compared to the baseline through the first commit. Now sometimes this can be enough to say yes this is because we change it, it cannot be differently. Sometimes it may not be that easy and you may want to be able to reproduce things so you can either just use the files I just mentioned to create your guest based on the libbird.xml, hopefully install or depend on this correctly and run a file manually. Which is good if you know what you're doing and if you have already some setup in place and you're prepared for that. If not and you just want to give it a try, you can use runperf, either just install it and use the same command that was used in the CI or you can modify it a bit to maybe simplify the setup for you. Where you get the command it's in the metadata section, you can see there are all As which means all of the builds use the same runperf command. On Hoover you can see the full command which is kind of longish. Don't worry you can remove most of it just cross it out but you should pay attention to the red parts. What do they mean? First the hosts is the most important part as I mentioned per testing is hard and we cannot just give those machines to everybody. So if you want to rerun it you need to rerun it on your machines so you need to specify the hosts that this will run on. It's not running on the machine where the runperf is executed. It could be but it's not by default. Then you may want to tweak the distribution. If you don't use the same one for whatever reasons you may want to use your own distro. It's only used if you use a provisioner to provision the hosts or if you're using VMs throughout doing the testing because it can fetch the CloudNet images and preparing them for the execution. In the same way in CIS as well as on your laptops or on your machines. So the default password is only used if you don't have SSH keys exchanged and it's used as a default password for guests that are created. And for path we are gonna talk a little bit later. So now you modify the runperf commands. Let's say here I'm using Fedora with some password. I remove most of the profiles using our localhost and running a limited subset of a file and VD tests because I don't need to run the full long command and I want to run it quickly. So I run this once then I deploy a different QMU version on the target host. Not on my localhost but on that target host. Run the same command again. Those commands are gonna create results underscore something results. I can do that multiple times. And then I can use compare path to compare them. With minus VV it shows you some information about individual failures and individual results in the console. But still I would suggest using the minus minus HTML where you can create beautiful HTML page with all of the information. Hopefully you are able to reproduce everything. You can start coding and afterwards confirm that your fix actually fixes this issue. Now I mentioned the minus minus path so the first time setup may require some metadata. Installing is as simple as pip install although I would suggest using master. And again runperf usually does not run on that machine where you run it. It's a controller and you usually specify one or multiple hosts using the minus minus hosts. And it should not modify your laptop unless you specify it as a host obviously. But it will definitely modify the minus minus hosts machines. Most of the changes are reverted especially profiles that are applied that are usually they are always reverted. But it may not remove all all the dependencies etc. So do that on your testing machines. If although I mentioned that your local host machine your laptop won't be modified you can still use container which we are shipping as well. But what do you need to prepare before the first execution is results or results is a database of your hosts. So the machines that are used during the testing. The information we are looking for is for example the architecture, huge page size, how many hosts, how many guest CPUs you want to use, memory. So those things some of them could be probably obtained from the machine we are not doing it at this point. But if you would be interested in that just let me know I can add that at some sensible default. But at this point you need to have hosts slash hostname.yaml file with those data prepare before the first execution. Now that would be it for the local reproduction. Now let's take a look at the CI. Normally I'm using Jenkins for everything but as I mentioned it's behind the firewall so you cannot actually access it. You cannot download the artifacts from it. What you can do is you can take a look at the documentation where I have all of the pipelines as well as the JGB configuration available. And you can just deploy it on your Jenkins instance, tweak the hosts section and the set of tests and start testing yourself. Now you cannot access the assets there which means I wanted to make something to have it available for you. I did this little dashboard or just a new table where each build when it finishes it just pushes the status there for you. And attaches the XML file as well as some machine readable results like more detailed machine readable results. It's available and in there you can find the HTML file which you saw earlier in report. Although this one should be usually very boring because all of the tables should be empty except of the metadata unless you change the filters because by default you only show errors. And you have the XZ file which contains the machine readable results. You can see the structure, you have the profile, in there you have folder where per each test and in there per each serial number of the test. Majority of the tests are using Pbench to drive the test execution. For those who don't know Pbench is a test suite that allows you to run performance testing. What I like about it the most is that it generates those result-adjacent file which is machine readable and uses the same format for all tests. Second it gathers the background system information. And maybe third is that quite a big portion of Red Hat is using it so when I find a regression or if I want them to investigate it I just send them those results and they can use their tools to review it. Next to it I have run perf metadata because Pbench is not aware of VMs or not to the point that you would like. So the run perf metadata contains for example the set of packages that were installed, the mitigations that are there, whatever configuration was changed in order to be able to reproduce it easily. Or just to see the differences in the report. Those two files per test is not obviously everything. Each build is about two gigs of data which we store up to 14 days where we have the iostat, mpstat, uperf, like perf reports etc. We may be able to send these if necessary for comparison to you although I'm not sure whether NDA wouldn't be necessary. If you just need some serial console output or journals, maybe libware logs we can send these easily via email on demand especially for regressions and things like that. Now the current coverage. So what do we test currently? Only x86, 64. We have four profiles local just to make sure that the hardware is not changing. Default libware which is just Word install, give me a machine and use it so the out of the box experience. The same with multiple machines where we use the same amount of CPUs but split into multiple VMs. Everything is of course customizable. And TuneLibWord which doesn't mean it's tuned to be fast. It just allows you to supply XML file and in this XML file I'm focusing on different features like pneumopinning, strict C-groups, huge pages, just different configuration, not faster. As for the test selection, the OUperf file impact with a limited set of configurations and file nbd which is a special case for a file run with nbd backend. And even this limited set of profiles and tests takes tailflowers to execute in order to have stable results. I am using three samples for example per test. As for the plans to the future, I would like to better integrate it upstream. What that means is I would like to have the Perf CI reports available in GitLab ideally, just you know cross or checkmark that this build was tested. And more importantly for me I would like to get a feedback of what is more important to you, whether this makes sense to you at all, what tests and profiles should I use, whether it's sufficient or whether I should improve or maybe remove unnecessary stuff. What background information should I be collecting? Because every tool that I run in the background is useful later if regression is fine found, especially if it's not 100% reproducible. But on the other hand it influences the execution, so advice on that would be welcome as well. And one more thing is adding other architectures. I tested successfully ARM, it works basically out of the box. So it's a matter of getting the hardware and starting using it regularly. One more thing I played with is the latest kernel pipeline. At this point I'm running a table version of RHEL and you're replacing the QEMU with the current master, which is fine for user space testing, like the QEMU user space part, but we're not really testing the KVM part. So I think it would make sense to add this pipeline maybe to only run with the latest kernel as well as QEMU, so do let me know how important that is in your eyes. And if anybody is interested in trying this, I'm here to help and I'm focusing on the documentation to make it as safe or as possible. Last thing that came up very recently is that I learned about this initiative at Red Hat where we wanted to make bigger machines sound like a bigger lab available to communities. If you think that you would benefit from having PerfCI in there, I can pursue that and maybe get a machine from them and be able to, in order to let developers to issue builds, like saying I want to check this build without the need of doing any setup. That's it for me. I'm really looking for feedback and ideally I would like the feedback to be on QEMU development list so people can be involved. So, see you!


The Hitchhiker's Guide series was a BBC radio program first, although the books are very popular and justifiably so because they're very good. The original radio program is the definitive version. But it ran for several seasons so there are many hours of it. This right here is my favorite version. It's a dramatization of the novels using many of the same people and sound effects from the radio program so it's like a condensed version of the radio shows. These are hard to find and I honestly don't remember where I got them. I've had them for many years but luckily they've been digitized and uploaded onto the internet in their entirety and I have links to them in the description below.

Get them. During this holiday season, Young America, all of us will be concentrating on our favorite winter sports. Ice skating, bowling, basketball, skiing. One thing you'll notice, whatever Young America does, wherever it goes, Chesterfield goes along. Yes, Chesterfield is the choice of Young America. Chesterfield is the choice of more thousands of smokers everywhere. People are learning the facts about Chesterfield. Learning that Chesterfield is highest in quality, low in nicotine. Learning that Chesterfield is really mild, really satisfying. So how about it, friends? Change to Chesterfield yourself. Smoke America's most popular two-way cigarette. Regular and king-size Chesterfield. Best for you. Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Thursday, June 5th. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the night watch out a robbery detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Chief of Detective Staff Brown. My name's Friday. I was on my way back from the business office, and it was 10.52 p.m. when I got to room 27A. Robbery. You got him? Yeah, here's the gun. You got the double-ought buck? Yeah, Jack. Here you go. Any word yet? No, we ought to be hearing pretty quick. Nothing from Herman and Benson, huh? Last we got from them, they were over on Hobart. No action there? Nothing. Oh, I got it. Robbery, Friday. Yes, ma'am. That's right. Well, when was this? No. No, that's a burglary. If you'll hold on just a minute, I'll have you switched them. Yes, ma'am. Hold on just one minute. Would you give this call to 2524, please? That's right, burglary. Thank you. A woman who wants somebody to come out and talk to her about her husband's work pants being taken from the clothes line. You should have gone out. Yeah. You got a cigarette? I'm fresh out. Here you are. Got a man? Yeah, thanks. Well, you might as well sit down and take it easy. You got no idea how long we're going to be here. Guess so. You know, I'm still not real sure about how this tip came in. You want to fill me in? The call came through this afternoon.  No idea who it was. No. Said it wasn't important. Went on to say that he could tell us where to pick up the man who held up the bank truck. Well, I figured it might be a crank, so I asked him how we could be sure the story was true. How'd he answer that? He said we could prove it. Said he had some of the serial numbers on the stolen bills. To check out? Yeah. Gave me the numbers from 10 of the 20s. I checked the serial numbers. They're good. That's when he said he'd call back, huh? Yeah. Said he'd call tonight around 10 and give us the address where we could pick up the men. It's late now. About an hour. But he knows what he's talking about. We got to be here when the phone rings. No way of getting an ID on him, huh? None. What do you say about the men? They heavy? And the way he tells it, they're loaded. Got all the guns and ammunition they need to hold out for a week. He knows that. Why couldn't he give us the address this afternoon? He said he wanted to put a lot of distance between him and the rest of them. Say how many there were? Not right out. The way he talked though, we figured there's three. Any names? No. Said he'd tell us where to pick them up. Said when we blew the whistle, they'd tell us. Uh, I'd be a little tight-ticking on them, huh? If the way they handle the guards on the truck is any indication it isn't going to be a picnic. How many men we got? Herman and Benson. We can call them in. Murph and Rafferty. Stuart and Creasy. Where are they now? Well, I saw Murph and Raffer out at the business office just a minute ago. Said they'd be right in. I get it. Robbery, Friday. Yes, it is. Where? Yeah, put them through. A call from San Francisco operator says station to station. Might be our boy. You'd have to fly up north to get here this fast. Airlines don't ask for recommendations when they sell a ticket. Wait just a minute. This Friday, who's this? Okay, if that's the way you want it. Yeah, give me that address. All right, let me read that back to you. 1657 Garfield Place, apartment 408. Is that right? Okay. Why don't you tell us your name? I won't do any... Hello? Hello? I'll have the business office. Get on it. See if they can come up with a number. You got the address? Yeah, I got that here. The way he put it, the job might be tougher than we figured. What do you mean? Well, I asked him his name. I told him it wouldn't make any difference if he told us. Yeah. He said it'd make a lot of difference. Said they'd kill him if they find out that he faked on him. That figures. Yeah. Said that when he reads in the papers that they're dead, then he'll come in. When they're dead? Yeah. Says we won't take them alive. Ten days previously, on Thursday, May 26th, three men had stopped an armored truck on its way to the Federal Reserve Bank. The truck had stopped for collection on Wilshire Boulevard. The three hold-up men had approached the truck and produced sawed-off 12-gauge shotguns. At gunpoint, two of the men forced the drivers to go out to the San Fernando Valley. The third followed in another car. On a side road south of Ventura Boulevard, the suspects had tied and then beaten the driver and the guard. The two men were placed in the back of the truck and after stealing all of the cash in the vehicle, the thieves had driven off. As soon as the theft was discovered, men from the Federal Bureau of Investigation were notified. Together with them, Frank and I followed down every lead. The crime lab went over the truck but found nothing that would help us in getting to the thieves. Lightened fingerprints were able to come up with nothing. The driver of the truck and the guard had been shown the mug books, but they were unable to make an identification. The method of operation was checked through the stats office, but when the leads that developed were checked out, we were in the same position as when we first got the call. We had no idea who the thieves might be. Descriptions obtained from the two victims were broadcast to the entire nation, but there were no kickbacks. The FBI weighed and sifted all evidence in its Washington headquarters, but they came up with the same results we had. Nothing. The phone call from the informant was the first concrete lead that we'd gotten. There were nine men from robbery division and three teams from the FBI in the operation. From the information we had, we knew the suspects were armed and they were dangerous. The people in the building were gotten out of their apartments. The building itself was completely surrounded. 1.36 a.m. We moved in. Boys in the street are set. Let's go. All right. Did you check the manager? Yeah. Descriptions that the men in the apartment matched the one we got from the driver. The truck checks out to be the same guys. The manager say how many there were? Three. She's not sure they're all in. All right. Sounds like somebody's moving around in there. Really? Are you ready? Yeah. That's cool. Police officer, stand still. What are you doing in here? You here alone? Yeah, alone. What are you looking for? A convention? Where are the other two? What two? Nobody else, John. Closet over there looks like an arsenal. Loaded with guns, couple of sought-off shotguns.  I don't know what you're looking for, but you're taking a finder. What's your name? Hank Peterson. You rent this apartment with two other guys. The manager tells us that they're Harvey Fitzgerald and Lou Colton. Is that right? Yeah, they live here. Where are they now? I don't know. Maybe they're a movie. I don't know. When do you expect them back? Look, they're big fellas now. They don't have to get me to sign a report card. They do what they want. They went out. I don't know where. They didn't tell me. They also didn't tell me when they'd be back. What's this all about? Where'd you get those guns in the closet? I don't belong to me. Who do they belong to? One of the guys. I don't know anything about the guns. Maybe Lou likes to hunt. I don't know. They belong to Colton, huh? Yeah, he brought them. You don't know where he is now? I told you. If I knew where he was, I'd tell you. I don't want any trouble. I don't like to have people pointing guns at me. Would you put that one away? Turn around. What? I said, turn around.  Put your hands up on it. Big deal. What happens now? You kick my feet out, I fall down? Stand still. I'll get a jump. You're gonna find nothing on me. I'll tell you I'm clean. Nice try, Peterson. There's a 38 Col Joe had it in his belt. You go around pretty heavy for a fella who doesn't want trouble, don't you? I carry a lot of money. Sometimes I think some guys are trying to take it away from me. I got to protect myself. Anybody's got the right to protect themselves. Yeah, you got a permit for this gun? No, I didn't get around to it yet. I'm going to it all right away. I'll get one. You know how it is. You mean to do something but you forget? Hey, can I stand up straight now? Yeah. Come on, Peterson.  Maybe you guys will tell me what this is for. What are you looking for? I'll tell you downtown. You know you're making a big mistake. Isn't it right? Well, sure. You really call this one wrong. You're dragging in an innocent man. I'm clean. I made a mistake when I didn't register the gun. I'll cop to that. But that's the edge. I don't go past there. No, you got it wrong, Peterson. Read me how. We got you going in for the bank truck robbery. You and your two friends. You're going to stand for it. Keep talking about my two friends. I got no friends. I move in with a couple of fellas. All of a sudden I got a piece of some action there shoving. You got it wrong, cop. You aren't going to tell us you happened to be here at the wrong time, are you? Look, I'm from Chicago. I got a lead on a job out here. It gets cold in Chicago in the wintertime. I don't like the cold. I get a lead on a job out here in California so I put an ad in the paper telling how I'd like to drive out with a guy, share expenses. Fellow of the answers the ad wants to leave when I got to go is Lou Colton. I took a third of the tab driving out. We got into town. He's got this apartment line up. This one right here. I got no place to stay so he says for me to pad down with him. That's it. The beginning, the middle, the end. Anything outside of that I don't know. If you've got trouble with Lou then take it up with him. But don't make me fit in. I got no part of the action. I don't want any. What about the gun? I tried to explain that. I meant to get a permit for it. I didn't get around to it yet. What about the ones in the closet? Well, talk to Lou. They belong to him. Maybe he's going to open a museum. All right. Let's get out of here. Come on, let's go. Look what you did to the door, breaking it up like that. No reason. All you had to do was knock. Landlady's going to be pretty sore about it. I'd have let you in if you were to knock, breaking up a door like that. She's going to be real sore. Probably won't talk to me. Well, it's going to be a while before she's got the chance. While Frank and I took Henry Peterson downtown, the other officers from robbery maintained the surveillance on the apartment. Because of the construction of the building, it was impossible to wait inside of the room. However, all of the entrances were covered. 2.40 a.m. We checked the suspect through R&I, but we found that he had no record in Los Angeles. His fingerprints were taken and forwarded to Washington for checking. He was printed and mugged and then placed in a cell in the felony section at the main jail. The rest of that night, the watch on the apartment continued without results. The following morning, Frank and I met with Lieutenant Smyers at a special show-off of the suspect for the driver in the guard of the armored car. Without hesitation, they both stated positively that Peterson was one of the men who'd held him up. The kickback arrived from Washington with the information that Peterson was wanted for escape from the state penitentiary in New Jersey. He'd been convicted on a charge of murder and robbery and given a life sentence. The record showed that he'd escaped from the prison on Friday, May 9th, two weeks before the truck had been robbed. 4.15 p.m. we had him brought from his cell and Frank and I talked to him in the interrogation room at the main jail. You got a cigarette? Yeah. Thanks. Here's a match. What do we got going? Same thing. We want to know about the robbery of that armored car. You figure there's something I could tell you on it, huh? We wouldn't be here otherwise. I'll make you deal. We don't make them. No, no, hear me out. You might go for this. We can't promise you anything. You're asking me to come over to your side. Seems like you'd be willing to come a little closer to the line. What do you got to say? How bad you got me nailed. As deep as it can go. For real? That's right. Lay it out. All of it? Yeah. Take it back from Washington. We know you wanted for escape. We checked the guns from the apartment. Found out they were taken in a burglary in Chicago Tuesday, May 13th. Go ahead. We checked with the Chicago papers. The ad you told us about asking for a ride out here. It was never run. You guys are sure thorough. The victims of the robbery identified your picture. They sure? They're sure. No chance for a mistake? No chance. If I cop out, where am I going to do the time? We don't decide then. You think they'll send me back to Jersey? I told you we got no say in that. It's so cold back there. It's nice here in California. I like to stay here. Nothing you guys can do so I can take the fall in Quentin, huh? Nothing. Any way you hear it, I'm nailed, huh? That's right. Okay. Maybe it's marked down that I copped out. They'll let me stay in California. It'll be put down that way. Okay. What do you want me to start? Try the beginning.  You're with the hold up, huh? Yeah. How about the other two?  No. They haven't come back to the apartment. Might be good if they didn't. When do you come up with that? Heavy, real heavy. What are their names? Luke Colton, Harvey Fitzgerald. Those are the names in the mailbox. Are they real? Farze, I know. You aren't sure, huh? No. Part of what I told you is true. I broke out of a jail in Jersey, then beat it to Chicago. I laid around for a couple of days and started to look for some action. I was broke. I needed a score to set me up. Sitting in a bar down on State Street one night, and I met Lou and Harvey. They took me to the job out here. You mean they came all the way out here to pull the one job? Yeah. They got a rumble about how it'd be a cinch.  When were they figuring on leaving? I don't know. This was their part of the deal. I told them going in, I wanted to stay out here. Didn't make any difference to them. We all figured that if we cut up $100,000 score, none of us was going to look bad. For all I know, they might be on the way back now. Their clothes were still in the apartment. You know how many suits you can buy with a third of $100,000? Go ahead. Yeah. Well, after the job, we made the split. Talked it over and decided to dig in for a few days and then take off. At least they decided to leave. Didn't say when. I told you now, they might be on the way back now. Who else knows you're in on the job? Huh? Outside of you three. Harold, who else knows about it? Isn't anybody. Well, where's your part of the money? Got it down the bus depot. Got it in the locker down there. How long's it been there? Since day before yesterday. How often do they clean out them lockers? Every 24 hours. Well, then there's $33,000 floating around in the check room. You got the key to the locker? Yeah. Where is it? In my shoe. I got a tape from the sole inside. You want to give it to us? Well, no. But I don't guess there's any other way. No. Okay. You spend any of the money? You mean the stuff we stole? That's right. No, not a dime. Why'd he ask that? Who else might know the serial numbers on the bills? Well, nobody. Nobody but us. And I guess the guys at the bank, they got a record of them, I guess. How about Colton and Fitzgerald? They spent any of their part? I don't know. You got to ask them that. The car you drove out after the armored truck. Who'd that belong to? Colton. It's the one we drove out here. What kind of car is it? Plymouth, 1952. What model? Sedan. Color? Light blue. You know the license number? No, I never paid any attention to it. What state's it out of? Illinois. Who drove the car when you went on the holdup? Harvey. Fitzgerald, huh? Yeah. He drove the car, and Lou and I went in the truck. Either of them been arrested before? I'm not sure, but I think Lou fell in New York. I'm not sure, though. How about Fitzgerald? No. At least he never said anything about it. Only way I knew about Lou is that he talked about the food and sinksing. That's the way I knew about him. You know what he fell for? Armed robbery, I think. And there was a kidnap rap, too, but he beat it. He out clean? I don't know. Seems like you planned a job with two guys that you didn't know very well, didn't it? I was hungry and I was cold. I wasn't about to ask for a life story when they offered me a part of the action. How did they pick you? I told you. I was in a bar in state. Lou and Harvey came in. Both of them were carrying a load. I was sitting there drinking beer, just the three of us in the place, and Lou was drinking pretty heavy. He gets in a beef with the barkeep, and I saw the role he was carrying, so I figured that if I could take his side in the brawl, maybe I could make a touch. We walked out of the bar, and he offered to buy me a meal. Next thing I know, I'm on the way to California. I'm a partner in a piece of goods that looks safe. All that time in the car, and you didn't find out anything about your two partners, we drove straight through, and we weren't driving. We were sleeping. Anyway, I wasn't a solid member of the club. I wasn't about to get my nose mashed in for having it someplace where it didn't belong. I figured if they wanted me to know something, they'd tell me. You go with them for the guns? No. They already got nose when I fell in. You knew they were stolen? Guys turn up with that kind of muscle and can't come from anywhere else. Sure, I knew it was stolen. Coltman Fitzgerald, have any friends out here? No, not in LA. Anywhere on the coast? I hear Lou's got some people up north. Where? Maybe San Francisco, and Marin County. I don't know. Might even be Oakland, somewhere around the Bay Area. They say anything about going up there? No. Well, you might have. Waylue likes to eat coming out here. He'd go 10 miles out of the way because he knew a place that had a good chili size. Think nothing of it. Never saw anybody who liked to eat so much. Real gourmet. Only with him it was glutton. You mentioned any names of people he knew up north? No. Just said he had people. Anything about the car they're driving that would make it easy to spot? What do you mean? Well, like a dented fender, a scratch. Anything to identify it. Yeah, yeah. It might be something. There's a kind of scratch in the back left fender, I think. Woman backed into us in the way out here. Cut right through the metal. You think of any reason why they might ditch the car? No. We kept a close tab on the papers right after the job and looked to see how much you had on it. When we didn't see anything, we figured the car was all right. I don't think they ditch it. It'd be pretty easy to trace. Lou owns it outright. As he wanted to try to grab cold plates, he'd drive it like it was. Okay. We'll get you your things and you can come over to the city hall and make a statement. How about the key to the locker? Oh, yeah. There it is. Probably some money to do on the package. I'll have to owe you. We'll take care of it. Too bad, isn't it? What's that? $33,000. I haven't got the dough to bail out the package. It works out even. What? You'd have no place to spend it. An immediate APB was gotten off carrying the names and descriptions of the two suspects, also a description of the car. A radiogram was sent to DMV at Illinois, requesting the license and description of any car registered to a Lewis Colton. While Eleanor Eastlack took Peterson's statement, Frank got in touch with the telephone company. They'd finished checking the phone call we'd gotten from San Francisco, but the information they gave led us no farther toward apprehending the suspects. The call had been made from a pay booth in the ferry terminal building. We got in touch with the FBI and filled them in on the developments. As a result of Peterson's statement, the number of men maintaining the surveillance at the apartment on Garfield Place was cut to one team, working days and one team, working the night watch. We put a call into San Francisco and talked to Chief of Inspector James English. We filled him in on what had happened. He assigned Inspector Sutton Zimmerland to work with us on the case. 5.46 p.m. We checked out a tripped car and we left for San Francisco. It took us a little under 10 hours to drive the 405 miles between the two cities. At 4.03 a.m., we stopped in Oakland and put in a call to the San Francisco Police Department. How much? Yeah, just a minute. Frank, you got a quarter? Yeah. Nice. Here you are. 2.64, please. Hello, this is Joe Friday. Yeah. You got a message there for me from Charlie Sutton or Jules Zimmerland? Hmm? Yeah. No, no, we just got in. Yeah. Oakland. What? Just a minute. You see that street sign up there? Yeah. Wait a minute. A fifth and poplar. Fifth and poplar. Yeah. Now we're coming right over. When was this? I see. Well, if Charlie calls in, tell him that we're on the way, will you? Right. Thank you. We're almost too late. What do you mean? They got a lead? Sutton and Zimmerland called in 30 minutes ago. Yeah. They got the car waiting for the suspects now. I'm going to tell you the authentic story of your police force in action. There are good reasons why thousands of people are changing to Chesterfield every day. Why Chesterfield is the largest selling two-way cigarette in America. Why Chesterfield is best for me and best for you. To sell a product, you have to make it good and keep it good. What do the latest reports show about Chesterfield? Well, our research laboratory has compared it with the leading cigarettes in the country. Chesterfield is highest in quality, low in nicotine. People these days want facts. When you want people to use your product, you have to tell them what effect it has on people who do use it regularly. That's why a doctor has examined for almost two years a large group of Chesterfield smokers. 45% of them have, on the average, been smoking Chesterfields for well over 10 years. What is the effect on these people from smoking Chesterfield? No adverse effects to the nose, throat, and sinuses, says the doctor, from smoking Chesterfield. Consider Chesterfield's record with those smokers, with millions of other smokers throughout America. Another good reason for you to change to Chesterfield. Regular or king size, Chesterfield is best for me and best for you. The address the business office given me on the phone was a large garage located at the corner of Union Avenue and Lynch Streets. When Frank and I got there, we met with inspectors Sutton and Zimmerlin. They told us that when they'd gotten the APB, a call had gone out immediately to the officers in the city to be on the lookout for a 1952 blue Plymouth with a dent in the left rear fender and carrying Illinois license plates. The suspects had parked the car in a no-parking zone on O'Farrell Street between Taylor and Mason Streets. At the peak hour of traffic, the car had been towed away and it was in the garage. The information on it had been received from our department and an immediate stakeout was placed on it. We felt reasonably sure that the suspects would return for the automobile. They had no reason to think that there might be anything wrong. The address of the garage had been left so that they might find the car. All it would be necessary to release it would be the payment of the fine for overtime parking along with the towing and garage fee. The garage itself was a large building. It provided four stories for parking. The suspect's car was on the basement level. We were able to keep watch on it in the office near the exit ramp. The attendants were instructed to act as if nothing was wrong when the suspects came in. Once we knew that they were in the building, the entrances and exits would be blocked and they would be taken into custody. There was nothing to do but wait. 5.30 a.m., no sign of Colton and Fitzgerald. 6.15 a.m., Frank went out and brought back some hot coffee. 6.45, 7 a.m. People began to come into the garage to get their cars, but not the two suspects. The later it became, the more difficult it would be for us to take the two men into custody. We were in a bad position with civilians in the range of fire. 7.30, 8, 8.04 a.m. Somebody coming down here. Yeah. You see who it is? No, Jules. Yep. You and Charlie want to cover the other side? Right. And watch it. We should be able to get a pretty good look at them. Yeah. Off the street, what kind of town is this? They got a sign. You should have put it in the garage. You and your smart ideas. You read what and you see the sign. Who can tell you when... It's Colton and Fitzgerald. Yeah. You see Jules and Charlie? Wait a minute. Yeah. Over by the gray merc. Looks like they're all set. All right, let's go. Now, let's get this crate out of here. We can ask the branders to put it over here. They've got a bit of a cops pick there for me. We should have, if they're more than me. Still not sure if it's the right thing to do. You don't have to think. If I wanted somebody for that, you'd still be back east. You know one of these days you're going to open that mouth just a little too wide. You know what you guys want? Police officers, you're under arrest. Run her! Hit them off, Jules! Hit them off, Jules! I'll get them. This isn't the way out. The doors are blocked. Colton, you're in here for good. Look, we got you for robbery. Don't make it any more. Joe? Yeah? He's over in the corner. How about Fitzgerald? He's got an unzimmer on the gun. Two of their guns in their lap. One no part of trouble. Colton doesn't figure it that way. I'll try to get around him. But I watch yourself. Keep those people back out of the doorway. Go on, Frank. I'll cover you. There's three more, Colton. You aren't going to get by all of us. Your partner quit when he'd be smart like him. He's not a smarty-spare. All right, Colton, I'm coming to you. You... I can't tell how bad. He still got the gun. Colton! You're going to hear me throw that gun out here. Call an ambulance. Right. Never should have taken us. Better take it easy, Colton. Your hit word shows. Never should have taken us. Two of you, two of us. You got it wrong, mister. Huh? You were outnumbered going in. The story you've just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On September 18, trial was held in Department 92, Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the county of Los Angeles. In a moment, the results of that trial. Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you, George Fenerman. The Chesterfield Christmas Carton is the most talked-about gift of the year. It features the covered bridge, which of course inspired the Kissing Bridge song. Now a highlight of the Radio City Music Hall Christmas show. The carton itself is featured in most of the 1,300,000 retail tobacco stores coast to coast. This Christmas, do what I'm going to do. Give America's most popular two-way cigarette, regular and king-sized Chesterfield. Best to give, best to get for Christmas.
