It all sounds kosher to me! I understand why Paula suggested they try to get the witnesses without force and only use the warrants if they had to, but I imagine Jeremy will make sure someone keeps an eye on them if he does have to go back for the warrants, even though there's "Too much work, not enough detectives.”
I found Paula's attitude toward Jeremy interesting. I guess she could just be cranky about being called in to work on a Saturday morning, and it was clear she wasn't gung ho on the warrants, but now I'm wondering how the rest of her evening with Henry went. :-\ It seemed like they were headed in the right direction when we last saw them and now I'm really curious as to how they ended the evening once they got past the business part!
In any event, things are sure hopping at the sheriff's department this morning, and I loved the dialogue, as usual. Poor "Don’t you dare call me Sheriff" Joe - he must feel like one of those guys who has to keep all the plates spinning! And how in the world did anyone get anything done before e-mail and cell phones? :laugh: Thanks, Louise!

they got it done with TWXses! I remember back when I did temporary office work, I was always running out to send TWXses. Which at some indefinite time in the mid 1980's gave way to FAXES. There were also SECURE TWX, which I have no idea what that entailed, just that a code had to be put in before they got sent.

I remember the early FAX machines! Thermal paper on rolls and the printing was usually kind of blurred.
