This is Your FBI: The Masquerader (syndicated)

This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The subject of our FBI file. Impersonation.

It's title. The Mascorator. Occasionally it is possible to remove any ill after effects of a crime. When a criminal is apprehended after a burglary, for example, and his loot is returned intact to the victim.

No one has penalized except the lawbreaker. However, such complete restitution is never possible in the case of one particular criminal, the imposter. He usually works with forged credentials or fictitious letters of introduction from well-known people.

Even after the imposter is apprehended, he leaves in his wake a wave of suspicion. suspicion of feeling on the part of his victims that never again will they be able to believe anyone. The case you are about to hear is the story of one of those criminals, perhaps one of the most brazen impostors in the history of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation. Tonight's fire opens in the rural district of a Midwestern state. It is early afternoon as an elderly man in overalls walks back and forth in front of the entrance to a newly constructed bridge. As a truck from one of the neighboring farms approaches, he holds his ancient rifle on his side and waves the

truck to a stop. Hold it Roy! I'll ride there. What's up Clay? Nothing wrong. You are a cross. What's it all? It costs you 50 cents. What power? Crossen? I'm late now. I'll see you later.

You start without paying and I'll blow your tires off. You've been at the jug again. This ain't no fool. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
