The FBI Story Page #2

Well, yes, it was a set of drills

and files and cutting tools.

His mother had a hobby of making

costume jewelry from seashells.

That's what the set of tools was for.

Do you remember anything else?

No, not that I recall.

She said you purchased

a toolkit for your mother.

Don't you remember?

Oh, come to think of it,

I did buy a toolkit last month.

And I put it in her suitcase.

It wasn't important. I'd forgotten it.

We've checked all the stores

in Denver that sell that kind of thing.

Yeah, well...

Well, I didn't buy it in Denver.

But you haven't been out of Denver

for two years. We've checked that too.

Look, we wanna remind you again

that you have certain rights.

You bet I have, and I wanna

get this straight.

Are you insinuating

I blew up that plane?

No. We don't insinuate.

We simply collect evidence.

Well, okay, I got nothing

to be afraid of, then.

I didn't do anything.

- Do you mind if we search your home?

- No, I don't care.

You won't find anything.

Sign this waiver, please.

In Graham's house,

the agents found a small coil of wire.

The kind which can be used

to detonate dynamite.

And finally, they found the last link.

A storekeeper verified

that he'd sold material to Jack Graham.

The sales order read:

"One timing device,

25 sticks of dynamite."

A medical doctor

attested to the fact...

...that Graham

was in sound mental condition.

Graham formally acknowledged

that he was not speaking under duress.

He acknowledged a lot more too.

So then I slipped the bomb

into her suitcase.

Twenty-five sticks of dynamite...

...two electric primer caps,

a timer and a six-volt battery.

Stand up.

Put the cuffs on him.

In case I get any mail...

...you can send it to Caon City Prison

for the next month or so.

After that, you can send it to hell.

Jack Graham's only mistake

was that he was absent-minded.

He forgot about the broad research powers

of the FBI.

Its high-speed communications,

its endless flow of vital correspondence.

A laboratory equipped

to analyze any and all documents.

The serology section...

...geared to break down

every known blood sample.

A firearms section,

containing 2000 weapons.

Rifles, shotguns, pistols,

revolvers and machine guns...

...most of them collected

from its clientele.

It took years to build up the FBI,

to train it and retrain it...

...to staff it with lawyers, accountants,

scientists, all working together.

So when Jack Graham

took on the modern FBI...

...he took on too much and too many.

He bargained badly.

Now, in the old days, Jack Graham

might've gotten off a lot cheaper.

He could have killed 49 people

for a little under $ 11, tax included...
