Leading cities and counties of the West specify the same Rio Grande crime you get from your neighborhood because a visual record proves they get passed a mile and more miles for the money. How we present Steve James E. Davis, a fellow triangular police department.
Good evening friends. Our persons are full of young men and women who made just one misstep misstep off the straight and narrow path of honesty and were caught. It is a pity that the lives of these young people must be ruined merely because they made one mistake, but the law cannot make exceptions. The beautiful, young, blonde girl in tonight's case was a good girl
at heart, but she got into bad comedy. A few years ago, Burma White was enjoying life. She went to parties and dances. She met a man she used was the wrong kind. She should have him to cut her association before the inevitable happened.
She was drawn into a life of crime, fascinated by its cheap excitement and thrills. Soon, she was so deeply enmeshed with the underworld that she couldn't fight her way back to respectability. Today, Burma White is in prison.
a good girl gets mixed up with the wrong kind of men. They usually have to be separated by the police. So the moral of the story you will hear tonight is plain. Don't associate with those who try to beat the law. They can't succeed. They'll drag you down with them.
And the only way to stay out of jail is to stay on the right side of the law. In 1930, Tom White was sentenced to San Francis to serve a maximum term of ten years for grand self.
He proved to be he's had an incorrigible prisoner, getting into fights and fomenting trouble among fellow convicts, but he was sent to Poland. In spite of his incarceration in that haven of a two-time loser, he was paroled in April 1933.
At a night club, he meets Burma, Adam, a young blonde who worked in the city shopping, and then on the night of August 16th. You're sleeping with the first thing you need in this racket is a car.
Yeah, but he ain't got me, huh? Oh, I know that. And I have to stick up people in the street. Ah, that small town stuff. We're gonna operate in a big way. Yeah, but where's gonna get a car?
Oh, right here. What do you mean? You see that car stop in there? Yeah. Well, that's what we are doing now. Can I take it from him? Sure. Hey, you're a hard guy, baby. Oh, I am, baby.
How about you? You're scared? You're scared? No, I get a kick out of there. Oh, that's the way I like to see him. Come on, baby. All right, I won't forget. Good night, baby. And thanks for a marvelous evening.
Good night, Mary. I'll see you too, baby. Bring him up. Oh, what do you mean? Give me a go. I haven't learned much on me. All right, I'm gonna go. You too. I told you I had nothing to do with that car.
Get out of the car, let's do it. I'll get in babe and start her up. You'll get the car back sooner or later. If you know what's good for you, then let's go off to the boat too soon.
See babe? That's all the risk to it. He comes. You have smart guys. Can I pick up an apartment? Oh, I don't know yet.
Well, we're transferring right here. Pardon right behind that car. The one that just pulled up in front of that apartment house. What are you gonna do now? Well, we'll take that one. This people will be hot by now.
You can bet that mug is already reported to the boat that is still in car. Oh, this is a hold up watch. Wait, wait. You'll keep your mouth shut, Mr. Unhand over your door. That car is got a stuff for that red light.
Pull up close to the curb and I'll knock him over. Right here, and that's well, I'll be right back. Oh, it's a hold up, and I mean, but keep your hand off that gear, kid.
You and I are going to pull away from this. You and Mr. Whittington won't try. I'm just teaching you the drive. I don't think he knows how to start the car. I'll let that go, but I'll all right then, hand over your money.
I don't think this joke is on fire. I'm not saying no, it's a joke. Now, give me a what. Give me a what? You. You don't have to rip it off my wrist. All right, if you don't want me to rip your coat off, tell me you're talking about it.
Yeah. There you are. Is that all you've got? A little. Yes. Well, it ain't enough. OK, babe. Come on up here to the right. And step on it. What is that trap, actually? Oh, I'm trying to get fresh, so I let them have it.
All those angle letters qualified the following morning to learn the brutal and legal issue of coir with England and clumb the album public sympathy well up at this with his life hangs in the ballast but also police department goes to action she's david or his first police blockades without the city and intent to capture the car
used for the bandit more than three hundred patrolman of the point to the location section where from seven o'clock in the evening to one a.m. every passing on a mobile scoot night it's life in place checked it's oxygen-intelligated i've never heard such a thing holding these people up like this throwing everything out of
I'm not killed here. Listen, Martin, do you have any idea what this is all about? No, I don't care. I know I want to get home. I've got a headache and these police are not holding me up with their flight flight and questions.
I don't care. Well, listen here. They're looking for those gangsters to shot that school teacher. They are? Yes. And you ought to be glad we've got this in the Fish and Police Department. You'd rather be delayed a few minutes or maybe get shot like that for a woman who was.
Where are you? I'm so high. Six days later Tom White change his car again, holding up Mr. and Mrs. F. Wobler taking her Chevrolet Coupe from the furnace with a light in front of this car the police intensify their manhunt.
On August 31st, C.D. Lewis has held up the D.E. He's entering his apartment house. He grapples with a thug who fires his shot, and then runs away. Mr. Lewis' description of the bandit's telly's without the other victim.
Shane, stores and drugs, stores and birds arise. The Destrians held up on the street in every time the bandend is seen. The description is the same. Usually he's accompanied by his long companion. On the night of September 6th, the radio police car covering its fleet sees the missing Chevrolet, parking at the Link Station lot.
Yeah, that's it, all right. License plates and description fits. We better put in and find out about it. Okay. Want some gas, boy? No. Know anything about that poop over there? Well, no, what do you mean?
Who's the belong to? Oh, some blonde lives up the street here. Oh, a blonde, eh? Yes, he brought it in yesterday to have the battery car. What's her name? I don't know. Where does she live?
I don't know that either. What's the matter, is it, huh? Oh, no. We talked for a minute into the car we were looking for, but I guess we was missing. The car we wanted to own by a red head.
Well, good night, buddy. Good night. That's it, all right. I think it's a box and call headquarters. That's what I'm doing right now. I'll bring detail, Burris speaking. Oh, this is ill, Radio Car 13 speaking.
Yeah? Just located at stolen Chevrolet, 5 feet, 3-8, 9. Where? Department of Defense, 8-7, Commander, 8. OK, we'll be right out. Stay away from that car. Yeah, I stay away from it. We parked on, down in the dark.
That's right. But don't let anyone see you there. We don't want to scare them away. Right. OK, Anderson and I will be right out. Sorry, Lieutenant. Anything happened yet? I don't think where the show is in the filling station at the right hand corner down there you can just see the hood of it by the Greetrack there
well if you talk to the station attendant yeah what did he say said the car belonged to a blonde well that's it's okay that you have the battery car as he'd be back for it anyway and she probably won't the one that car abandoned for good I'll play the long chance that she's coming back for it this work trying right
Now you boys better get out of here and stay away from this car. We'll hold a stake from now on. Okay. I'll tell the boys to relieve you to stay away out of this neighborhood and tell them to tell the boys to relieve them.
Right. Good night. Oh, let's see where we better hide. We can't stand out here on sidewalk all night. Hey Andy, look. Alright, next to that feeling statement is a garage, see? Mmm. We could get in there.
Yeah, that's a swell idea. Come on. Don't look like there's anybody home. Yes, there is. There's a light in the back. This would be a great spot. I'll just hide everything we see right through.
Yes? We're from police headquarters. Well, what's your matter? Is there some trouble? Oh, nothing's wrong, but we're looking for a car thief. A car thief, is it? What's the car thief they've got to be?
Well, what do you want with me? I don't car thief. Oh, we know that. We'd like to hide in your garage. One of the cars this man stole was parked in the filling station next door, and we want to watch it through your head and try to pick up the truck when it comes back for it.
Well, I see. Again, thinking no reason why you shouldn't hide in the garage. Well, it's fine. Look here. You got a car with you. Well, I take my car out of the garage. You can find yours in there.
Well, I'll park mine on the street. Hey, ladies, if you don't give me no ticket. Don't worry about that. last midnight because the detective watched the presentation. The attendant closes up and goes home.
The streamers got a dwindle and a specific old situation. He'll the guardians of the law, please, their watch. Oh, it's not like they're coming, but it's great tonight. Maybe not. And again, maybe they will.
If the girl comes back alone, we won't have to follow her. You realize that? Sure, we can't let the gag in a way. I've been thinking maybe we better get a couple more men in case we have to put around their hideouts.
Yeah, another bad idea. Now, call in for a release so we can get some dinner. And I think it'd be a good plan to change clothes. You're gonna need dirty old pants at home, you'll use when you reach your socks.
Yeah, that's right, Joe. Well, you better get them. Detective, might as well unburger on, release first and under. As dawn goes over the red and over the waking city, they return. Right and old clothes, disguised as mechanic.
What's the idea of the Glendway? Do you want to wake up the neighborhood? What is it? Charles Holmes and Dr. Watson? It's not funny. That girl comes back for the car. I'm getting a good look at her.
These greasy clothes want to rouse the station. Anything happen while we were away? Not to see. Quiet disagree. We ought to get some action soon. The boys opening up at the filling station. Today's his man.
Maybe he's going to know something more about the car. Oh, man of fans. Good morning. Good morning. Hello. How are you? Good morning. Well, I had to say I never would have recognized you with them beds, on.
Are you ready for some right-first sloop? And I can... Maybe. Well, look here. Do you want to help us? Anything I have to do, I'd be glad to. Good. You know that bread and the filling station?
Bob! Sure I know it. So, molti down there and find out what you can about this car here. Ask him who left it and what they said, will you? I've been glad that. But don't let on about us.
Oh, no, don't worry about that. I got better shins, Ned. When he comes back, I don't want enough to find out anything. Oh, there's a great old character.
Probably have to settle in a nice little vet situation while he was at it. Well, people like him that are a big help sometimes. That's right. Oh, that one just went up. Well, not very much.
It seems that this blonde girl left the car at the head of the battery charge. That was two days ago, she ain't been for a chance. Bob said she lived at some car now there somewhere, and that she's got two other cars, of Ford and Essex.
Ooh, the woman, there's anything else I can do for ya. No, I don't think so. See, Mrs. is getting some breakfast. I might be able to get her to warm up some coffee for ya.
Well, that'd be all right. I could do with a little coffee. Throughout the long, hot morning, the four detectives remain on what? Then at three in the afternoon, just as they're beginning to feel that their vigil is in vain, a blonde girl arrives at the filling table.
Hey! Yes, yes, ooh! A blonde. Yeah, that's her. She's gone over to the Chevrolet. We'll have to follow along, get the guy, too. Well, I'm gonna get a good look. Leaving on suddenly, apparently a drunken hobo.

November 6, Burma White, two of the parole convicts, Tom White, were sentenced to serve from 30 years to life on seven counts for first-degree robbery, one count of attempted robbery, and three counts of assault with deadly weapon with intense
commit murders. This series of crimes in which Burma White participated would never have entered. A career of crime had the parole system then stringent enough to prevent their their paraders from having their freedom. It is my sincere hope that you, the citizen, will demand a proper parole system so that you and yours will not be in constant danger
from the ruthless viciousness of men of the strikes of Tom White. Thank you, Chief Davis.
