:34:03
and that I was down there
to discredit David Harris.
:34:09
And then I had been recommended
to see one particular policeman...
:34:13
who had been led
to the solution of this case.
:34:17
And I had the impression...
:34:19
that he was the one honest policeman
I could trust in Vidor.
:34:23
He told me that
after the policeman was killed...
:34:27
David Harris went back to Vidor.
:34:29
But before he was arrested,
he committed a robbery down there...
:34:33
and had someone on the floor
of a 7-Eleven type of store...
:34:37
with a shotgun at her throat.
:34:39
Got back there...
:34:42
robbed O'Bannion's 7-Eleven with a.22 rifle.
:34:46
Committed some other burglaries
and what have you.
:34:49
All this time I was on probation.
Juvenile probation.
:34:55
Eventually I turned myself in
for this stuff in Vidor.
:35:04
I think I made a confession.
I can't even remember exactly.
:35:08
So I'm told I did.
:35:16
He had told us he had robbed stores,
and we laughed.
:35:19
"Sure, we know you have."
:35:21
I'd given him one of my hats.
:35:23
It's an old Bonnie-and-Clyde-looking
hat, it's turned sideways.
:35:26
We said, "We'll draw you a little
mustache, walk in with that gun.
:35:29
"Nobody'll know who you are."
:35:31
About 2:00 that morning,
I was asleep and the phone rings.
:35:35
I said, "Hello?" He said, "This is
David." "This is David Harris?"
:35:38
"Yeah," he said, "I did it.
Will you come and get me?"
:35:41
I said, "I'm not coming to get you.
I'm asleep."
:35:47
He didn't have a conscience.
:35:51
If I do something bad, it kind of gets to me.
:35:53
I feel, "Shucks, I shouldn't have done
that. I feel bad about it."
:35:58
But it didn't bother him.
Didn't bother him at all.
