DETAILS: 

ON TODAY'S DATE, MAY 18, 1978, AT APPROXIMATELY 0830 HOURS, I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC 

IN TEE NORTHBOUND LANE ON MORELAND AVE, ,JUST SOUTH OF I-20 WHEN I SPOTTED A DARK 

BLUE PONTIAC CATALINA WITH A BLACK FEMALE DRIVER. THIS VEHICLE WAS IN THE I-20 

EASTBOUND OFF-RAMP ONTO MORELAND AVENUE NORTHBOUND. I COULD NOT GET CLOSE ENOUGH 

TO THIS VEEICLE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. BUT THE CLOSEST I COULD GET I COULD READ THE 

TAG ##CPV089, THIS WAS A WHITE TAG WHICH HAD BLUE LETTERS. ALSO, I COULD NOT SEE 

THE STATE OF ORIGIN. I ALSO SPOTTED WHAT APPEARED TO BE IN COLOR, A GEORGIA 

INSPECTION STICKER. AFTER TEE VEHICLE PULLED AWAY, AND oe PR WAS STOPPED, I DID 

NOTICE THAT THE RIGHT REAR HUB CAP WAS MISSING. THIS IS ALL I RIVOW EXCEPT THAT THIS 

VEHICLE WAS STILL TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON MORELAND AVE., WHEN I LAST SAW IT. 

END OF STATEMENT 

I HAVE READ/HAVE HAD READ TO ME/THE ABOVE STATEMENT AND IT IS TRUE TO ‘THE BEST OF MY BELIEF AND. KHOWLELGE AND HAS BEEN GIVEN FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY BY ME..

DETAILS: 

ON SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1978 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:15 P.M, I WAS WORKING AT THE 

"CEARLES S.MARTIN FURNITURE COMPANY" WHICH IS LOCATED AT 1000-MARIETTA STREET 

N.W., WHEN A BLACK MALE WALKED IN, TALL AND SLENDER, APPROXIMATELY 6' TALL OR 

OVER, SHORT AFRO, WEARING BROWN TROUSERS AND A MULTI-DESIGN SHIRT, BUT I CANNOT 

RECALL TEE COLORS, DARK CCMPLEXION. SINCE OUR COMPANY IS A SHOW-ROOM, IT IS 

NECESSARY THAT YOU CHECX AT THE FRONT DESK AND BE ASSIGNED A SALESMAN TO 

ASSIST YOU. WHEN THE BLACK MALE WALKED INTO THE SHOWROOM, EE TOLD ME TEAT 

KEE WANTED TO LOOK AROUND AND I QUESTIONED EIM AS TO WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR 

IN PARTICULAR. HE BESITATED FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN SAID HE WANTED TO LCOK 

AT A CHEAP BEDROOM SUITE, IN THE PRICE RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 350.00 TO $400.00. 

I SHOWED THE MAN WEAT WE EAD IN THAT PRICE RANGE AND HE TOOK MY CARD AND SAID 

"I'LL SEE YOU", BUT IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE MAN REALLY DIDN'T APPEAR TC BE 

INTERESTED IN TEE FURNITURE. HE WENT TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR AND THIS IS TEE 

LAST TIME TEAT I SAW THE MAN. 

APPROXIMATELY 15-MINUTES AFTER THE MAN HAD LEFT OUR STCJE, A DETECTIVE CAME 

AND IDENTIFIED HIMSELF TO ME AS DETECTIVE W.K. JOWERS OF TEE ATLANTA POLICE 

ECMICIDE SQUAD AND HE GAVE ME HIS CARD, HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD BE WILLING 

TO COME TO THE POLICE STATION AND MAKE A WRITTEN STATEMENT, CONCERNING THE 

BLACX MALE SUBJECT WHO EAD COME INTO MY BUSINESS EARLIER, AND EE TCLD ME 

WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE OTHER FURNITURE STORE. I TOLD THE DETECTIVE THAT 

I WOULD COME DOWN AND AFTER I ARRIVED AT TEE HOMICIDE OFFICE, I TOLD THE 

DETECTIVES WEAT I HAVE JUST PUT IN THIS STATEMENT. I ALSO ADVISED THE 

DETECTIVES TEAT I COULD POSSIBLY IDENTIFY THE BLACK MALE IF I SAW HIM AGAIN, 

I WAS SHOWN SOME PICTURES OF BLACK MALES, BUT WAS UNABLE TQ IDENTIFY ANY OF 

THEM.

Te A 0330300 : ( SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT . ; 

onioniae REPORT LC coercmintae REPORT PAGE OF   
  

  

R/0 received a call from Lt. Perry, APD Homicide, who related the following information 

pertaining to BEN WRIGHT, a suspect in the killing of an Atlanta police officer: 
  

  

  

WRIGHT had been arrested in Arkansas and subsequently interviewed by APD officers as to his 

activities on the date of the police officer's death. WRIGHT stated that on that date, 

05/13/78, he had been in Marietta and had been on or near the square. He stated that he 

"+i11-tapped" $120.00 currency (six twenty dollar bills) from a shoe store and then went 

to a jewelry store about three blocks away where he purchased a yellow gold watch band. 

WRIGHT stated that he had the receipt made out to "Larry Smith" and signed the receipt in 

that name. He stated he then went to another shoe store and bought a pair of low cut shoes. 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

R/0 first stop was Fletcher's Jewelers, 11 W. Park Square, 428-8545, where I talked with 
Murray Sussman. "Mr. Sussman made a search of purchase receipts for the dates 05/12/73 

and 05/13/78. Mr. Sussman could find no receipt that would indicate a watch band purchase. 

  

  

  

  

R/0 then went to Diamond Jewelry Co., 146 S. Park Square, 428-6170. There I contacted 
Mr. Ken Levin, the store manager. Mr. Levin made a search of his records in R/Q's presence 

and found that receipt #10381, dated 05/13/78, was made out and signed by a Larry Smith.” 
The amount tendered was $14.95 plux $.45 tax for a total of $15.40 for a watch band. 
Mr. Levin states that the clerk who made out the ticket is Julie Kearney who has recently 

moved to c/o MCP, P. 0. Box 546, Mohegan Lake, New York, 10547. 
Mr. Levin states that it is impossible to determine from the ticket what time the purchase 
was made. R/0 noted that the first receipt dated 05/13/78 was #10377 and the last of the 
day was #10407 indicating that the purchase was the fifth of the day out of thirty purchases 
made that day. Mr. Levin noted that the purchase made prior to the one in question was 
made by a long-time customer. He stated he would contact her to see if she could remember 
what time her purchase was made and he would have her contact R/0. R/O will contact 
Mr. Levin to determine if he is familiar with any customers making purchase after #10381 
to attempt to place an approx. time on the purchase in question. 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

The following businesses on the square were also contacted by R/0 and persons indicated 
were questioned regarding any "til!-tap" or cash register shortage on 05/12/78 or 05/13/78. 
T. Coggins Shoes, 15 W. Park Square, 428-6811, Mr. Jim Graham 
2. Johnny Walker Stores, 21 W. Park Square, 428-5818, Mr. Roy Freeman 

3. Saul's, 130 S. Park Square, 422-2555, Mr. Tony Wagoner 
None of the above listed businesses reported any money shortage on either date. R/0 will 
contact other businesses on 09/06/78. 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

A search of MPD records does not indicate an offense of either nature for these dates. 
  

  

  

Receipt #10381 from Diamond Jewelry Co. was retained by R/0 and will be turned over to APD 

for their case file if required. :

MOTION FOR HAIR SAINPLES 
  

The above-named defendants, DAVID BURNEY, BERNARD DUPREE, 

WARREN McCLESKY and BEN WRIGHT, JR. have been indicted for Murder 

and Armed Robbery. 

On May 13, 1978, 'the Dixie Furniture Store at 993 

Marietta Street, N.W., Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, was robbed 

at gunpoint by four (4) black males and a guantity of United 

States currency and other property was taken Cron several indi- 

viduals inside the Dixie Furniture Store. Also, a police officer 

who was responding to this robbery was killed inside the Dixie 

Furniture Store. As a result of this robbery and murder, police 

officers while conducting an exterior and neighborhood search 

located a black toboggan hat which had a woman's stocking mask 

inside it, from a Dempsey Dumpster near the Dixie Furniture Store. 

Employees of the Dixie Furniture Company state the black males 

had stocking masks over their faces and at least one of the rob- 

bers had a toboggan-type hat over the stocking mask. 

After his arrest, one of the defendants told police 

officers that he wore a blue jean hat and a stocking mask during 

s 

the robbery of the Dixie Furniture Store. 

Another defendant has told police officers that he was 

wearihg a blue flap hat with a stocking mask under the hat during

the robbery at the Dixie Furniture Store. After the robbery, 

he claims he put the hat, stocking masks and other clothing into 

a sack and threw the sack into a dumpster. 

Possible hair samples have been found on the recovered 

hat found near the scene of the crime. Analysis of these hair 

samples requires samples of head hair of each of the defendants 

arrested in this case, DAVID BURNEY, BERNARD DUPREE, WARREN 

McCLESXY, and BEN WRIGHT, JR. All four defendants are presently 

incarcerated at the Fulton County Jail located at 1135 Jefferson 

Street, N.W., Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. 

It is hereby requested that Georgia Law Enforcement of fi~ 

cers be allowed to obtain hair samples from all four defendants, 

BURNEY, DUPREE, McCLESKY and WRIGHT. Such hair samples are to 

be sent to the Georgia State Crime Laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia 

for comparison with possible hair samples from the hat found near. 

the crime scene. 

Previous request has not beén made for these hair samples 

as the Defendant Wright was only recently returned to the State 

of Georgia from the State of Arkansas on September 13, 1978, after 

{

Wright waived extradition.
