One hundred dozen hand painted ties, worth $5 each, have been stolen along with a little money from out on South Western Avenue. Friday, working the day watch out of burglary detail, talks with George Prosper, the owner, who suspects recently fired Morgan Gilroy with the crime. Friday and Smith go out to Gilroy's apartment on Fountain Avenue, Hollywood. They talk to his pregnant wife, Judy. She thinks her husband is at work at the Prosper Tie Manufacturing Company. He even gave her the $80 from this week's check which she thinks he must have cashed. She says he got home around 2:15 AM last night. When Gilroy returns home, Friday and Smith take him down town for interrogation. He says he got the $80 from Steve McGill at a bar known as "The Black Pony". They played poker and he ultimately lost, so he touched Steve for the money when the latter passed out sometime after 1:00 AM. McGill confirmed Gilroy's alibi as did the other guys in the poker game. A men's clothing store, Nimbo's, on Crenshaw has now been hit. This was followed in the next few days by two more men's tie shops being hit. George Prosper calls from a bar & grill on the corner of Normandy and Kingsley Drive - one of his stolen ties just walked in. Friday and Smith arrive. The man is Dick Trendle, a CPA, who says he bought the tie from a man he met in a bar. He agreed to go to the BGT Cafe, and then to the Mortenson Hotel to look for the man who sold the tie. The clerk says that the description sounds like Russell Herbert Lafferty, in room #212. Friday and Smith enter the room, and Lafferty co-operates and admits to the four thefts.

Evening, Vision.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
