SAC, Los Angeles March 27, 1947 . The victim's girl friend separated from them, and the victim and VETCHER then proceeded to the Columbia Broadcasting Station Studios, where they saw TONY MARTIN broadcast. Thereafter they proceeded to Tom Brenneman's, _ VETCHER stated that at the corner of Hollywood and Vine they met First Sergeant CHARLES MOFFETT, who accompanied them to Tom Brenneman's, Upon arriving at Tom Brenneman's, they observed that a number of people were waiting in line for a table, but as soon as they entered the door, the head waiter came over to the victim and escorted her, along with VETCHER and MOFFETT, to a nearby table. VETCHER stated that during the time they were at Tom Brenneman's, he observed that the victim appeared to be well known to all of the waiters there. VETCHER related that while they dined at Tom Brenneman's, the vic- tim's conversation returned to Lieutenant JOHN O'NwIL and she again related that he had been quite jealous of her when they were young and had told her not to have any boy friends. VETCHER stated that the victim related this in a laughing, matter-of-fact manner and thought that it was quite a joke. The victim advised VEICHER that she had seen Lieutenant O'NEIL upon his return from the Army, but had not seen him for several months, VETCHER stated that he advised the victim that he had only known O'NEILL under combat conditions and, therefore, did not know him very well, VETCHER also stated that the victim was very well dressed and caught the attention of many of the guests at Tom Brenneman's, He stated that he caught snatches of conversations of people seated in the immediate vicin- ity and heard some of them suggest that she must be a professional actress em- ployed by RKO or some other studio, VETCHER advised that they departed from Tom Brenneman's establishment at approximately 12:20 A. M., September 21, 1946, at which time Sergeant MOFFETT separated from them. VETCHER said that they rode a trolley to return to the hotel and had to walk about five blocks from the point where they left the trolley, and while they were walking back to the hotel, a black car drove up beside them and stopped, VETCHER stated that there were five men seated in the car who appeared to be dark complexioned and possibly were Mexicans, three of whom jumped out of the rear of the car and yelled, "There she is," VETCHER stated that he suggested to the victim that he beat these individuals up, but she told him the best thing to do would be to run. Accordingly, he stated, they ran and escaped from these individuals, who apparently were unknown to the victim. oS
