This is Your FBI: Yesterday's Killers (syndicated)

This is your FBI! This is your FBI! The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation! Tonight's FBI file, yesterday's killers! You hear people who tend to weave a veil of romance about the names and escapades of Al Capone,

We're not alive to see the mobs of hoodlums who made illegal whiskey the basis for criminal syndicates. We're not yet reading a newspaper that morning in 1929, when a trigger-happy gunman walked into a Chicago garage wearing a stolen police uniform and mowed down seven men, a killing that became famous as the St. Valentine's Day massacre.

Those were the days she heard people say. And they are right. Those were the days when Al Capone had three entire floors in a large Chicago hotel. When the word bootlegger was in some circles a badge of honor.

When decent people struggled to get a card of admittance to a smoke-filled cellar, so they could drink while rubbing elbows with the dregs of human society. It is one of the jobs of your FBI to make sure that such days never return.
