1:53
right, now, get going, yeah. In the late summer of last
2:01
year, several Eastern cities were plagued with a series of hold ups. According
2:06
to a description by the victims, each of the robberies was pulled by the
2:08
same individual. When this was made evident, the Bureau was asked into the
2:13
case. They were looking for a tall, well mannered man in his early
2:15
forties, and we were aware that the search for him wouldn't be easy.
2:20
Not a single article of stolen property had appeared since the original robbery, and
2:23
it was natural to assume that our man had either held on to his halls
2:28
or had found an elusive means to dispose of him. It was with this
2:31
in mind that Aden Daily Live Containers Sociates. Good morning, oh Freddie,

This is Joe Benson, best auto mechanic around these parts. I have nam
8:43
It's bencer name here, mister, my name is Shepherd. This is Asian
8:46
Bailey. They want to take a look at that wrecked Tell station wagon you
8:48

I haven't started working it yet. I thought i'd wait till I hurt from
8:54

8:58
especially I figured it. Well, there it is that bangs up too
9:01
bad? Just get it into the telephone pole. Oh real damage? Could
9:05
dude tell anything from the wreck, mister Benson. How it happened? Not

9:11
off the road into the ditch. Uh huh. Go on to have a
9:15
looking sign. Uh not yet. We're expecting a couple of our technicians any
9:18
minutes. We're gonna try for fingerprints, treadmarks, anything that might give us
9:20
a lead. I guess you and I wouldn't talk about this around corn Benson.
9:24
Of course, not chief, but a lot of people are talking already.
9:26
They say this car is the same one that was using that payroll stick
9:30
up over in Mason City. Well it's possible, but let's keep it to
9:33
ourselves anyway, Chef, you want the car jacked up while we're waiting.
9:37
Yeah, it's a good idea. Jack it up. Uh huh from the
9:39
plaster impressions of the tire treads. Oh, I'll do it right away.
9:41
Fine, Say, isn't it rather unusual using a station wagon and a robbery?
9:48
Yes it is, but we're dealing with the rather unusual type of criminal,
9:50
mister Benson, and from the evidence we've gathered so far, it's gonna
9:54
take an unusual method to catch up with him. Fingerprint file last twenty s

ask a certain party if he wants to spend it with me as missus Raymond
11:15
Spence, what how about it? Sheila? Missus ray Then why not?
11:20
I've been thinking about it since the first day I walked in to containing the
11:24
associates and saw you're sitting there. All right, cut it out? Will
11:26
you will give me one good reason? You can't mean it? Why not?
11:31
Right? Answer me? Stop it? Will you you feel the same
11:35
way I do? I know you do. Don't be a fool, Ray,
11:39
And it never works, Just one good way to find out you're crazy.
11:43
Sure, let's both be right. Yeah, it just wouldn't work,
11:48
that's all, Tony. Look at me, Come on, look when two
11:56
people have got it together, that's all that counts. Nothing else. Okay,
12:01
stop, I'm not stopping until we have the ring on that thinger right

12:11
big plans here, I got the biggest plans in the world. Now you
12:16
hold onto my hand, honey, hold on real tight. When I get
12:20
that money, will really going places. Believe me. Back to the fence
12:33
and just a moment, friends, Luckies are made better to taste better,
12:39
to taste cleaner, fresher, smoother, and it's easy to prove this to
12:43
yourself. Simply do this. Take a Lucky from a newly opened pack and
12:46
carefully remove the paper by tearing down the seam from end to end. Be
12:52
sure to start on the scene. In tearing, don't crush or dig into
12:54
the tobacco. Now look at that perfect cylinder of fine mile tobacco. See
13:00
how it holds together without those annoying loose ends that get in your mouth and
13:03
spoil the taste. That's why Lucky's taste cleaner. Notice how free Luckies are
13:09
from excessive air spaces, hot spots that burn too fast and give you a
13:13
hot, harsh taste. That's why Luckys taste fresher. Then look at that
13:16
fine, mild, good tasting tobacco, perfectly shredded and packed just right for
13:22
smooth even smoking. That's why Lucky's taste smoother. Yes, friends, those
13:28
are the important inside reasons that make every Lucky taste better, cleaner, fresher,
13:33
smoother. So for your own real, deep down smoking enjoyment, be
13:37
happy, go lucky, make your next cardon Lucky strike. And now back
13:52

14:07

Tony. You can shoot it out with the Federal boys. If you like
23:37
ten years chiller, yo, no what you think this indus a moment Agent
24:15
Shepherd will tell you what happened to the people and tonight's stories. Smokers,
24:18
you can easily see for yourself the inside reasons why Luckys taste better, cleaner,
24:26
fresher, smoother. Just take a Lucky from a newly opened pact and
24:30
carefully remove the paper by tearing down the seam from end to end. Be
24:34
sure to start on the scene in tearing. Don't crush or dig into the
24:38
tobacco. Now examine that perfect cylinder of fine, mild tobacco. See how
24:45
it holds together without those annoying loose ends that get in your mouth and spoil
24:48
a taste. That's why Luckies taste cleaner. Notice how free your Lucky is
24:53
from air spaces, hot spots that burn too fast, taste hot and harsh.
25:00
Why Lucky's taste pressure. And look at that fine, good tasting tobacco,
25:04
perfectly shredded and pat just right to draw freely and smoke evenly. That's
25:10
why Lucky's tastes smoother. So for a cleaner pressure, smoother smoke, make
25:15
your next cardon Lucky Strike. Anthony Cottana was killed in an attempt to shoot
25:30
his way out of the trap, Raymond Spence fixed for him. Although Spence
25:33
went free for several months, he was caught later when he tried with Sheila
25:37
Blair to return for the cash Katina had held for him. FBI surveillance of
25:42
Katana's home and office led to the arrest of several other notorious associates in Katana's
25:48
criminal circle, thus permanently closing the fence. All names and characters used on
