Used to call him a gentleman bandit? 88 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120 Yeah. 1931, Claude. That's 18 years ago. 89 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,840 Chaney was the biggest of them. Came from a wealthy family, too. 90 00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:18,120 Fought as a millionaire. 91 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,120 You sent him up, huh? 92 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,480 San Quentin.

Let's go. 97 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,040 Seems like it could have been yesterday. 1931. We grow old right along with the thieves, 98 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,040 huh? 99 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Where we go? Federal Cafe? That's all right with me. 100 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,040 18 years. 101 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,040 Yeah. 102 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,040 Sure goes by in a hurry. 103 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:48,840 I wonder if Chaney thinks so. As far as day-to-day routine goes, police work 104 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:53,240 is pretty much like any other job. To the rookie detective just starting in, there's 105 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,800 new things to see, new things to learn. But five or six years on the detail and the job 106 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,760 gets pretty ordinary. You see a lot of dirt, a lot of trouble and tragedy, and after a 107 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,760 while you begin to wonder what all the glamour's about and the excitement that's supposed to 108 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,040 go along with the job. 109 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,360 The fall months went by pretty slow. On November 3rd, we closed a case against a gang of drugstore 110 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,640 holdup men. In December, Ben's youngster fell off a fence and sprained his wrist. My Uncle 111 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,480 George from Renton, Washington, visited my mother and me in January. Stayed a couple 112 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,200 of weeks. On January 28th, it rained. Ben and I checked into the office where we got 113 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,920 a phone call from Lieutenant Mort Gear of the San Diego Police Department. He gave us 114 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,600 additional information on a finance company holdup which had been pulled in San Diego 115 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,320 the day before. In the robbery, one bystander had been shot and killed and another one wounded 116 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,800 by the two bandits. They also shot a police officer three times through the stomach when 117 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,200 he tried to stop him. Next day, Sergeant Ormsby and McGuire from San Diego arrived and we 118 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,320 helped them check the suspects through the stats office. 119 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440 A couple of bad ones, Joe. Both have guns and they use them. 120 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560 One of them got away in a car and the other one on foot. Is that right, McGuire? 121 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,440 Yeah, the big one used the car. 122 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:08,760 Well, size ought to help some. Say, 45 years old, height 6 foot 1 or 2 inches, weight 275, 123 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,120 85 pounds. Anybody get a look at the car, Ormsby? 124 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,200 Blue Ford sedan, 1940 or 41 model. That's all we got. 125 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,320 That's a rough one. 126 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,480 After all the shooting, the witnesses didn't know what they saw. All mixed up. 127 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,520 Well, how about the other one, the guy who got away on foot? 128 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,880 He's a WMA, about 50 years old, 5 feet 8 to 9 inches, 145, 55 pounds. Where's glasses? 129 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,040 Yeah, we got that on the teletype. Is that all? 130 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,000 No, we traced it in the Greyhound bus depot about six blocks from the hold up. Changed 131 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400 his clothes in the washroom there, left behind a coat and a gun. 132 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,400 Yeah. 133 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,760 The coat was a kind of gift parolee from State Penn. Checked it through our crime lab. Same 134 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,160 kind of suits are issued to all ex-cons. No make. 135 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,680 Well, at least you know one of them's an ex-con. How about that gun you found? 136 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,600 It's a murder weapon. Our ballistics men went over it, no prints. Tried to trace the serial 137 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,200 number, no record. C.I.I. in Sacramento is trying to run it down. 138 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,960 Well, we got any hunches? 139 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,280 A few. We're almost sure both of them had gone their route before. Pretty cool. Shot 140 00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:02,080 down three people, didn't ban nine. 141 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,880 How much did they take in the hold up? 142 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,600 Eleven thousand. Are your stats of us make a run in those descriptions yet? 143 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,600 Yeah, this morning or tonight's got the list of possibilities. They're pulling the mud 144 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,800 shots now. They'll be winding it up by now, don't you think? 145 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,600 Hey, let's check. This way, fellas. 146 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Yeah. 147 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,000 Go ahead, Rory. 148 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,800 Oh, thanks. 149 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,600 How's the wife, Ormsby? 150 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,800 Oh, fine, Ben. She's expecting again. 151 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,000 What are you gonna do, raise an army? 152 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,200 Four kids. That's not so bad. McGuire's wife wants six. 153 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,400 How about that, Mac? 154 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,800 He's at five now. No point in quitting when you're ahead. 155 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,800 Frank? 156 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Hey, Joe. 157 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,800 You know Russ Ormsby and Tony McGuire, don't you, San Diego PD? 158 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,800 Yeah, sure. Met them last year. 159 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,800 All right. Come on, Frank. Good to see you. 160 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800 I'm ready to call you. Got those mud shots together for you. 161 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,000 Here, I got them right here. 162 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Okay. 163 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,800 Here they are. These are the stats for suspect one. This is for number two. 164 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Okay, Frank. We'll check them out with the witnesses. 165 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,800 There's one mug there. Here, let me show you. 166 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,800 Here, this one. 167 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,800 Yeah. 168 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,800 It matches the description pretty close. Safe man by trade, but he can go any route. 169 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,800 Name's Weber. 170 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,800 First name? 171 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,800 Stanley. Call him Turk, I think, nickname. 172 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,800 Know anything about him? 173 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,800 He's an ex-con. 174 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:24,800 Ormsby and McGuire drove back to San Diego to show the mug shots to the holdup witnesses and see if they could get an identification. 175 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Late the next afternoon, they called back to tell us that Stanley Turk Weber had definitely been identified from his mug shot by four of the five witnesses as one of the holdup men. 176 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800 His partner remained unidentified. 177 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,800 We called Turk Weber's parole officer, got all the available information on the suspect, including his latest address, an apartment house on North Alameda. 178 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,800 Weber wasn't there. 179 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:52,800 We talked with the apartment house manager and he told us that Turk hadn't been seen there since the day before the San Diego robbery and murder. 180 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,800 We had a stake output on the apartment. Ben and I went back to the office and had the record bureau pull Weber's package. 181 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,800 On his mama sheet, Ben spotted a familiar name, Henry Garson, another ex-con who was listed as one of Turk Weber's closest friends. 182 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Well, we got a hold of Garson's parole officer. 183 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,800 He told us Garson had had his parole transferred to San Diego where he disappeared two weeks before he was wanted for violation of parole. 184 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,800 We tried to check Weber through his relatives. We couldn't find any. 185 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,800 But Henry Garson's report showed that he had a brother, Al, who ran a dry cleaning shop down in Seal Beach. 186 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,800 He had no criminal record. The next morning we drove down to see him. 187 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,800 Yeah, Henry came around last July. It's the last time I saw him. I want to borrow my car. 188 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,800 You got any idea where he might be now? 189 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,800 No. 190 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,800 You're his brother. 191 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,800 I don't know where he is. It's the truth. I don't want to know where he is. 192 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Was anyone with him when he came to see you last? 193 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,800 No. 194 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,800 You know who his friends are? 195 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,800 Friends?

After that, we doubled back on Turk Weber. 253 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,800 From one of our informants, we heard that Weber and Garson had gone into some kind of a business together. 254 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,800 For a bank roll, they'd succeeded in getting a loan from the Second National Bank out in Glendale. 255 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,800 One p.m. We drove out and checked with the manager of the bank's loan department, Mr. Peabody. 256 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,800 Here we are, officers. Stanley T. Weber, Henry Garson. Loan papers were signed over a month ago. 257 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,800 What kind of a loan was it, Peabody? 258 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,800 Business loan. Garson and Weber came in with another man. They talked to our manager, Mr. Ascot. 259 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,800 Excuse me. 260 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,800 What business are they in? 261 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Trucking concern. They wanted the money to buy equipment, more trucks. 262 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,800 How much money did they borrow? 263 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,800 $4,500, usual terms. 264 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,800 I guess you inquired into their background. 265 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,800 Oh, yes, their whole financial background. 266 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,800 Did you know that Garson and Weber are both ex-convicts? 267 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,800 I beg your pardon? 268 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,800 I said, did you know that both of them are ex-convicts? 269 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,800 You sure you haven't made a mistake? Henry Garson, Stanley T. Weber? 270 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,800 Yeah, that's right. What'd they offer for collateral? 271 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,800 Well, they had some of their equipment, two trucks, and then, of course, there was the co-signer. 272 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,800 What was that? 273 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,800 The name's right here on the loan papers. 274 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,800 What'd they say? 275 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Right here. Co-signer, Frank Cheney. 276 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,800 2.30 p.m. Ben and I checked back into the office and went down the hall to R&I. 277 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800 We pulled a package on Frank Bertram Cheney. 278 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,800 White male American, 5 foot 8 and a half inches, 152 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes. 279 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,800 The record read like a dime novel. 280 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Almost 20 years before, Cheney had crashed into the headlines of Pacific Coast newspapers as the Gentleman Bandit. 281 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:29,800 Maybe some of the news stories were exaggerated, but the records showed that he actually owned a yacht, three expensive cars, and an apartment house. 282 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,800 In spite of all this, he decided to settle for a career of robbery and murder. 283 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,800 At the age of 30, he was the most sought after man on the Pacific Coast. 284 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Finally, in 1931, after tracking him for a year and a half through more than a dozen armed robberies, 285 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,800 Sergeant Thaxter and Taylor of the Los Angeles Police Department brought him in. 286 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,800 He served 18 years at San Quentin and pulled some penitentiaries, and then he won his parole at the age of 48. 287 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,800 We checked his parole officer and he had nothing to report against him. 288 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,800 We checked back in at robbery detail and met with Captain Ed Walker. 289 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800 How about Cheney's friends, Weber and Garson? Nothing yet? 290 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Not a thing, skipper. Stakeout is still on Garson's mother's place in Santa Barbara. 291 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,800 Weber's apartment is still covered. 292 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,800 You called San Diego about this, the Cheney angle? 293 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Yeah, we briefed him. They got all the mug shots down there. 294 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,800 Weber's definitely been tagged as one of the men on that finance company job. 295 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,800 I figured Garson for the second man, but none of the witnesses have picked out his mug shot. 296 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,800 You talked to Cheney's parole officer? 297 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,800 Yeah, I did. He gave us Cheney's last address. 298 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,800 Same as the one on his ex-con registration, but he's moved. Didn't notify the office. 299 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,800 Where does that leave you? 300 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:41,800 Well, I talked to the manager at the apartment. He gave us a couple of addresses to run down. 301 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800 At least we better start getting on it, huh? 302 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,800 Yeah, yeah, it's getting late. 303 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Keep in touch. I'll notify you if anything breaks here. 304 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,800 Right. 305 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,800 Just a minute. 306 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800 Robbery Walker.

And here is his actual signed statement. 324 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,800 When you have to meet a news deadline, you work at a fast pace. Smoke at a fast pace. 325 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:52,800 That's why I smoke Fatima. They're extra mild. In my opinion, it's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 326 00:15:52,800 --> 00:16:00,800 And more and more smokers are discovering this every day. Actual figures show Fatima has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast. 327 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,800 So enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. 328 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:12,800 The king size cigarette, which contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild. 329 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,800 You will prefer Fatima's much different, much better flavor and aroma. 330 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,800 You will agree. 331 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,800 It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 332 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,800 It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. 333 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,800 The best of all long cigarettes. 334 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,800 Tuesday, January 31st, 4 p.m. 335 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,800 In addition to the San Diego teletype, we got out a local broadcast and an APB on Frank Cheney. 336 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:49,800 By 430, Ben and I had checked out the first of two addresses where Cheney's former landlady told us that he might be staying. 337 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,800 It was a rooming house out on West Washington. 338 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,800 The owner told us that Cheney had stayed at his place for a few days, but that had been more than two months before. 339 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,800 He had no idea where the suspect might be. 340 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,800 We then drove to the second address. It was an apartment house on West Stanford near Slauson. 341 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,800 The manager's name was Mrs. Pritchard. 342 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,800 Why, yes, I believe Mr. and Mrs. Cheney are home. They've been in all day. 343 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,800 Which apartment is there in, ma'am? 344 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,800 Number seven, straight down the hall on your right. 345 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:18,800 Thank you. 346 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,800 They may be having dinner now.

We checked the bedroom and the kitchen. 352 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,800 There were obvious signs of a fast getaway. 353 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,800 On a card table in the living room, we found the remains of a quick dinner. 354 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,800 Two places were set.
