and enjoy the thrill of police car perform. Please to present Captain Bert Wallis, head of the homicide squad of the Los Angeles Police Department,

Captain Wallis. Good evening, friends. We hear much about the reformation of the hardened criminal. It rarely happens that way. Once the criminal has stepped across the borderline into dishonesty, it seems that he can't resist the temptation to turn another trick.

It is very discouraging to police officers to spend so much time and so much of the taxpayers' money to capture a bandit and then have him turn loose by the parole system after a short jail sentence.

Police know only too well that they will soon pick up evidence that the so-called reform criminal has returned to his airing ways. Police records are full of cases of men and women arrested again and again and again.

Police know that most major crimes are committed by experienced criminals who have police records. Tonight's broadcast tells the story of a gang of whole-up men composed with one exception of ex-convicts. It gives a typical example of how these men whose minds have already been poisoned against law and order delight in putting their strength against the law enforcement agencies.

Their punishment by the courts does not teach them a lesson. As you will see, it is necessary for your police department to keep a watch on all known criminals and parole convicts, and it is from their ranks that the police make most of their arrests.

I hope that the moral taught by tonight's program will be instrumental in keeping many potential law violators from making that dangerous first step. I very much fear that, once having tasted the forbidden proofs of crime, it is almost impossible to return to a respectable life, and that the police must arrest the criminally

inclined again and again, if necessary, until they have been put behind the bars for good. Our story opens on a warm summer afternoon in 1932, in a little jewelry store on South Vermont Avenue in Los Angles. The proprietor, black, magnifying One glass in his eye is repairing a watch when a customer wanders in, followed by two

companions, one a Negro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good afternoon. What can I do for you? I want to look at your watches. Yeah, yeah, yeah, about what price to watch you have in mind. Or something around $35.

$35. Yeah, but yes, we have some very nice numbers at that price. Just a minute and I will show you. Here. Now. Here is a very smart watch. Swiss movement. Gallantique. Here. Order behind. What?

Order behind. My god, let's just see. Shut up. Dumpers watch it into the bag, Frank. Take this bird into the back room. Hang. Hey, boy. Look, he's a fake jewel. Simon, do you know this?

Okay. Dump it in and don't talk so much. We've got to make time. Don't miss that silver weapon. No, I can't. Hey, boy. See you're so hooting back. Hey, look at dummy! Yo, yo. Here comes the buddy!

Alright, I'll take you to the sack. I'll take care of him. What do you want? I'm looking for the manager. You the manager? No, I'm not. I see. Well, I'd like to get my wife's watch fixed.

It seems the main spring... Get in the back room. Yes, it's for all of me here soon. I said get in the back room. But set me a hand. Well, I declare a gun. I'll give you a three to get in the back room.

And the police, you'll hear this one. And it'll go hard with you. I never was one to stand by and see the leg room. What's cool on in your balls? Never mind now, Hank. You got the junk, right?

See, he's the sack he's called. How about you, Hank? I ain't had time yet, balls. All right, together, get going. This will be our tough beef. We better scribe, quick. Oh, my God! They've killed him!

A few moments later, the police arrive. The clues are meager. The frightened jeweler's description of the bandits. The bullet, which is later removed from the skull of the murdered customer. And a pillowcase, which one of the bandits had dropped in his flight.

This pillowcase, which was used as a sack for the loot, He's turned over to Ray Pinker, the police department's laboratory. Later in the day, he makes his report to Inspector Davidson of the homicide detail.

Well, Ray, what did you find? I was able to make out this erased laundry mark. It's, uh, one, four, seven, one. One, four, seven, one. Just a minute till I make a note of that.

Well, there seems to have been a name worked into this material in the thread, probably the name of the hotel. I've carefully pulled all the threads out, and I haven't been able to decipher that yet.

But yet, farewell, keep after it, you bet I will. But the clue of the pillowcase leads nowhere. Or the search of the hotel whose property it is results in no suspects fitting the description of the bandits.

It looked like a clean getaway. That night, York returns to the gang's hideout on the fence. I'll get a testimony. And maybe the fools. You are free, Hank. And get all shot up? No sir, not me, no.

Oh, it's Bob, three earrings. I will get it. Oh, you may go. Oh, not good. How much is that? Well, he gave me 500 bucks for the stuff. Only five, please. You shouldn't let me take it to this final, Bob. I could get lots more.

The best I could do. How much I hold and I'll pay a settle. I've got that top mug. I don't do business that way. Okay. Drop the gut. Oh, right, boy. This will not get us nor pleased. Let us have the door.

Okay. There you are. I figured I cut this way. 150 for Frank and me and a hundred apiece for Hank and Tiny. Hey what is it? No, just a minute there, boys. Frank and I really pulled the job. Hank, must around in the back room all the time.

I don't know what he's doing playing. Kiss the pillow with a dutch and you were a sump. I'll listen to you, boys. I'll explain all that out there. And Tiny only drove the car. Frank and I did the real work.

And you pulled a beef bumping off that old man. You didn't have to do that, boys. I know the guy was deaf. I can't stop to ask questions during that job. Listen here, York. You pull the beef, but if the bulls get it, we'll all take the wrap for it.

Oh, maybe only life for us while you swing. We're all in it. We're cutting even, see. Yes, Bob. Me, I do not want more than you, yes? And if you don't cut even, York, I just soon turn the heat on you and look at you.

Well, I don't want no trouble. Yeah, bet you don't. You don't want me to press the button on its tie, I got your do-you, York. Now, how do we cut? Okay. Should even spread. That's more like it.

Hey, you're... A hundred and a quarter of a piece. And mark money or shut up. Where's Rosita, Frank? Oh, my little dees. I do not know. Back in the kitchen, maybe. Well, I'm going out and talk to her.

Rosita! Hey? Where are you? Hello, Rosita. Yorkie! Hello, caribou! I got something for you, honey. For your visa? What is it? Yeah. Oh, Yorkie! A beautiful, real diamond. It is real, no?

Oh, oh, oh. Say Rosita. How'd you like to marry me? Now you, been his or your kid? No, really? Yeah, only up and up. Have a pattery hook, a snarety. So, me, I think that would be one swear good idea.

You do? See, that's great. No, no, wait a minute. I'm liable to be in trouble. You know that. Trouble? Oh, tell me, or he said something had gone wrong today. What is it? Well, truth is, I killed a guy.

Well? Don't that make no difference? I sure did. We can go to Mexico. We can run away. I will take this as a different part of what I was born. They will never find you there.

Yeah, but we ain't got no dough. Get some. We'll get some like you got this. Only get a lot. Rob a bank. Rob a bank. That's an idea. A good idea. I'll talk to the boys about it right now.

If you're a kid. Yeah? You forgot the keys for a little. Oh, yeah. You're kidding? You're the Burries. Hey boys, I got a great idea. Like puffing off an old man? Oh, shut up. Now listen, Rogers.

Morn your deserved. You paid us a scram. Well, if that's the way you feel about it. Well, it is the way I feel about it. Nothing but a small change, Rogers. Well, I've been sprung out of more big houses than you ever heard of.

Yeah, well, listen. I done my time, too. Yeah, you never know it. You talk like a kid sticking up gas stations. I'll beat it. I got no time for it. Okay. But maybe I'm making a mistake.

Yeah, and maybe I'm just wising up. Don't slam the door when you go out. I take it to my nerves. Oh, God. He's a good man, boss. I don't want him around me. You got it?

Yeah, so you know, I'll show the... Okay. Here's the idea. We're gonna stick up a bank. Up, eh? That's a big job, Bob. You're telling me? Or are we doing only big jobs from now on?

I look here. We're in up to our necks now. If they ever get us, we're on our way to the big house. But if we pull a couple of nice jobs, we can all get out of the country with enough to live on to the rest of our lives.

You're thinking on getting some real important money, is that it, Bob? Right. We'll need another guy, a good hard guy to pull a bank job. How can you think of anybody? Say, I've got it.

Perfect. You know him? Don't seem to live hard, Earth. Look, see, see, I know him. He is all right. He is very good with regard. All right. We'll start on one of these little branch banks out this way.

And then just to be sure we get enough of the rest of our lives, we'll knock over one of the big downtown banks. That's when we got everything to gain. Now we stick around here too long, the booms are bound to pick us up.

Send the cards, the homicide squire down at the city hall is a tough bunch of monkeys. And don't ever forget it. Gang breaks slowly. Cautiously planning their crime. They do not strike until a month later, and then late in the morning of August 23, 1932, as the manager of a branch bank on South God, we answered the telephone.

Oh, hello, Dave, all right. Yes, yes indeed. Oh, that'll be all right. Yes, we can handle you for that amount. Yes, lady. Don't hang up. Three tough fellows just walked in. One of them's a needle.

Yeah. Yes, David's a holdup. He just pulled their guns. Call the police right away. I gotta hang up. Hey, you over there. Uh, who? Yeah. You move to the back. I get going. Keep in cover, Hank. I like it, though.

All right, boss. All right. Pass it out, Frank. Hey, see. See you. Hey! I told you what's that guy. He's got a gun! Hey, come on, please. Hey, come on, please. Come on, please. Stop it, Bob.

Have you brought me the money? I don't have it, Rosita. Thanks, God. Wait, wait. He'll find the dish. Please. He shot. Yeah, they plugged him. What happened? Oh, that boy's got buck fever. It didn't turn out like we figured. Everything went wrong.

Who is your Francisco? We left him on the street. You? Looked my uncle on the street to die? Listen, baby. We couldn't help it. There wasn't time to get him. Then manager was brazen away.

You left my uncle to die. Oh, honey. He ain't bumped off. Heck, he's dead. But Frank's okay. He's just wounded off there. You're nothing to die. You're a thief. No, listen, listen, listen to me. I swear I'll bring him from the hospital.

I'll bring him a fight to bomb off a half of Justin Geist and do it. Hello, Tenant. Oh, I'm not sure what the trouble. The Tenant bank hold him.

The police officers leave the officers to the gangs, hide out on Mercury Street. Under the direction of Inspector Davidson, the homicide detail, a stake out of the place reveals only a young girl at the occupant of the house.

Late in the day, the officer decides to pay her a call. Yes? Well, police officers, ma'am. My two phone Cisco, how is he? Who? Uncle Frank, he's alright? It must mean Frank Valorado. Frank? What is his last name?

Rosie, this information leads the officers to a rooming house on Maple Street, operated by an oriental, where York and Alvarado stayed on August 15. How do you do? What can I do for very nice American gentlemen?

Let's say you're registered. What for? I show ready stuff? Don't ask so many questions. I'm from Baleside, Gourders. Oh, Baleside, very fine policeman. I show here. You please look? Let's see now. 19, 18, 16. Here we are.

Many people come. Many people go. I know to know this. Eh, I'll bet. I'll take that thing to a minute. I'll go there. It wasn't so long ago. I'm awake. Oh no. I'm sure I cannot think.

I know. Remember. Alan. That's right. Maybe he doesn't remember. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. Maybe he doesn't remember. Yeah, maybe. Rosita willingly accompanies the officers as they search all night through the hills in the vicinity of a hideout for the fugitive.

Then she suggests that they may be at a coffeehouse she knows up on South Main Street. Early in the morning they visit this place and Bertos goes in but soon returns to the car. Then, never not there. Nobody's seen anyone like him for days.

Maybe. Say, I got a hunch. You know what? Let's go back to that dump on Maple Street. What job? One barberish and I looked over yesterday and it's worth a try. See, see if it's a good idea.

They will be there maybe. Then the pig will pay. You always come here up before a wonderful sun in the sky. I want to look at that register again. Oh, very good. I show. Anybody else come in since we have a fall?

Oh, people come. They go. Yes, I think. Very fine people he come. You're free to look? Good luck, Romero. It's the same birds registered yesterday as registered in the sixth thing. Let me see. Yep.

What a rumor. Oh, I think... No, my second thing, I think. Other than now. I know nothing. You can tell them we've been here before. Oh, iron, extra special. Find a room in Costa. I know nothing else.

Don't forget, they're police officers. Oh, yes. I remember now. I open now. You coming out of the situation, wife, for either? Every gun's ready, boys. These are tough monkeys. All right. Here we are. Oh, sir.

Yeah, very. Open it up. All right, I do. Oh, I know what kind of do. Hold on, out of the fighter. He's a lot. No, no, no. They got it loaded from the inside, eh?

They got it on right under the door now. Oh, sir, boys. Okay. On your toes now. Hey, what's the thing? Yeah, we're police officers. What's up, man? He's got a guy. He's got a guy.

He's got a guy. Look out, Andy. He's going to do it. I'm having it. Oh, Robert. You hit the bat? Pretty bad. Where? In here. Sorry, but you shouldn't have whipped that rod out from under the covers.

I know. Hey, this is court. Not the braces, on the boys. They bought a Hugh Colle Amulus and take Tuckoff to Georgia Street Reserving Hospital here. Okay. Andy, now I'll take Mr. York here. They're central.

It's okay with me, boys. I'm going to take it. it ought to be okay. All right. Come on. Let's go. Listen. Keep a stiff up a lip, Turk. I don't say nothing. Right. So long, pal. Robert Georg confessed to the murder of William Kurt Patrick in the jewelry store hold up and implicated his previous accomplice, Rogers in the crime.

LaMay, the driver in the bank robbery, was sent to San Quentin for seven years to life. Took off permanently wounded and Rogers were given life sentences on a verdict of first degree robbery and murder, and Robert York was hanged. So these habitual criminals again learn that you cannot beat the law. This time the evidence presented by the police was so damning that the

courts meted out stiff sentences. I hope that a mistaken sense of mercy will not result in these confirmed criminals being released from their life sentence to pray again on respectable citizens.
