Transcript

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents, This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the piles of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Are you one of the 47 million Americans who benefit from group insurance? Listen carefully to this special message from Mr. Eugene Holman, president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Mr. Holman says, and I quote, �We believe in maintaining contributory benefit programs in cooperation with our employees.

These programs enable them to achieve economic security over and above what they obtain from their pay envelopes. In carrying out these programs, we have found group life insurance and group annuities very helpful. Yes, group insurance is something worth owning. In 14 minutes, the equitable life assurance society will give further important information about group insurance which will

interest both employers and employees. Tonight's FBI file, the return of the killer. Many of the axioms we learned as children have the deep wisdom of eternal proof.

Models like a stitch in times, a nine, or a word to the wise is sufficient. But there are some catchphrases that we still repeat, that bear not one wit of proof. A catchphrase like the one which goes, there is honor among thieves.

There is no honor and no loyalty among criminals, for honor and loyalty or quality is which the criminal mind does not quite grasp. Honor and loyalty, you understand, do not show any immediate profit, and the criminal greedy and hate-filled regards his fellow-men in one of two ways.

To the criminal, you, the stranger, are either a potential partner in crime, or you are a potential victim. The night file opens in the dreary prison cell occupied by Chicago Thompson and Frank Patterson. It is late evening and the lights have just been turned out.
