A phone called a prisoner dismissal board at Sing Sing Prison,
where I was informed that oron Vance had been released
three days before the above date. He had completed seven
years of a seven to fifteen year term for grand theft.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It was non parole release.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The chaplain described him as a model prisoner with a
better than average chance of remaining out of prison for
the rest of his life. For that reason, I was
willing to listen to his story when he showed up
an hour later.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Hello, Odella, you haven't changed a bit. Come on advanced.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, sure, nice. It's a nice place you get.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (02:32):

all worked out, work hard, she said, six months. If

everything's okay and you're not in any trouble, you can
come home to me and the kids.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
If not, she said, I'm gonna divorce you.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
What do you want me to say?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Want you to offer me a seat, invite me to
sit out it?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Thanks again. No thought about it a lot. If you
hadn't been out to getting me seven years ago, i'd
have had you over for dinner. Maybe we would have
been friends.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Look, I can't get a job and I'll have to
go in business for myself. I need a steak. That's
why I'm here to see you.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I talked to you maybe twenty.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Times while you were working on that Zeeman case, and
I think I got to know you. I call you
today because of what I saw of you then.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I think you're an honest man. Thanks you ever.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Hear the town A case in Bornemore Towner Loan Company
in nineteen forty six, Yeah, everybody's heard about that million
dollar theft.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The insurance companies still have a reward for information leading
to the arresting.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Commission was never solved. I suppose they do.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I can help you help them solve it the half
of that reward, can you.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I know two of the men.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Who did it, two of the six men. I talked
to one of them yesterday. I'll tell you who they are.
Wake and pick them up. But I want my name
out of the picture.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Could get fixate, yeah, probably, but I have to talk
to the police sooner or later.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh look, this is a good thing dollar and all
I'm asking is your promise to keep my name out
of it. Tell me how good before I make any promises.
That's fair enough. They had some of the serial numbers
on part of the take here. This is one of
the bills. Why don't you check it with him? Then
we'll take it from here.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Spencer con item too, fourteen dollars and eighty five cent
it's a long distance phone called the chief investigator, Don Freed,
All State's Insurance, who verified that the serial numbers and
the ten dollar bill or on vance had me tied
in with the townter Loan company theft. I explained the
information I had at hand and the source from which
it had come, leaving out any mention of names. Freed
(05:19):
talked with his boss and pulled me back half an
hour later, giving me the go ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okay, vance here in business. All right, how does it work?
You tell me who they are. I'll handle it from here.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I mean the money part, and we have something, you'll
get paid for it. All I've had so far is talk.
This bill could have come from anywhere. You might have
picked it up at a cigar county.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Look.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I got it from a man named Leonard Torpie.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
He lives in New York.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He's one of them.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Leonard Torpie.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah, I met him my second year. Asked me he
was up on an old petty theft charte. She did
eighteen months. Told me to look him up when I
got out. This part may sound crazy, but we had
a few drinks together in his place yesterday. I was
weeping on his shoulder out all my hard luck, and
he said, you think you'll got hard luck? Then he
marched me into the bedroom, showed me a stack of
(06:06):
money and a bureau drawer. He said he couldn't spend it,
and he gave me one of the bills. Must have
been pretty drunk out it was. I got to thinking
about it. Checked the bill, found out it was in
the town of me. I looked up the story in it,
Torpie fits the description of one of the hold up
men right down the line.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
We'll see you say, you know two of them? Who's
the other one?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Harold King lives in Reno, Nevada, now runs a filming
station there. He used to come see Torpy in visiting days.
I saw him several times.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It makes you think he had a part in the town.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I think just what top he said while he was drunk,
and the general description of the other hole up men
in the story say, while Thorpe was drunk, he mentioned
his old partner, Harry King told me where he was living.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So for you say anything about the hold up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
No, I told you I found that part for myself.
But King is the other man, I'm sure of it.
King have a record. I don't know anything about him. Okay,
where'd he be Alphoni?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Two days? Oh? I should know something by then.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Remember my name's out of it. The police or anybody else.
Sure you're afraid, Yeah, I'm a stool pigeon.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, haven't you noticed.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'd noticed, and I worried me, so I followed him
when he left my place. I was buying a package
of cigarettes at the corner drug store while he bought
the street car for downtown. I tagged along in a
taxi to the main business section, watched him get off
and head for the bus terminal. I bought another package
of cigarettes while he bought a one way ticket to
New York. In a half hour before departure time, I
(07:41):
telephoned a private detective friend of mine, Pete Florian.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
He appeared at the bus terminal fifteen minutes later. What's
the rumble, Johnny. That man over there in a gray overcoat.
His name's ed Vance. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
He's on his way to New York right now. Maybe
you better tag along. See that nobody killed him. Oh,
if what he told me is true, somebody might try
to do just that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Stay close till he settle somewhere.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And she I haven't got any more to tell you, Pete,
because I'm just starting to look into it. Find out
where he's living there, and contact me at this number.
I'll let you know what to do then, all right,
anything else, don't let him out of your sight Pete
Spencer con Item three one hundred bucks retainer for private
(08:27):
Detective Pete Florian for explained purposes. I stayed at the
bus terminal long enough to watch Pete board the New
York bound bus and take a seat across the aisle
for more in vance Item four eight dollars and eighty
five cents Plane fair Hartford and New York. Item five
four fifty cab fair to hotel, and then the Metropolitan
(08:50):
Police station, where I explained my business to Lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Randall, who gave you this tip dollan.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm afraid I can't tell you that, Lieutenant. Why not
because I promised not to disclose any names. I can
tell you that the source is a man who couldn't
possibly have had anything to do with the case since
he was in president at the time of the hold up.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
But you want me to stick my neck out and
get up a search warrant and maybe take this word
Torpi into custody.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
On your say, so, you have plenty to start with with.
That ten dollar bill should be enough for you to
look into it.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And why you looked into it?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Frankly, yes, prima facie evidence, but no name, No name
I've told you all there is no believe me.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Let's get busy. The mug folder on.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Leonard Torpey showed a balding, forty year old man with
a long record of thefton burglary.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
There was no record for a Harald King, although he
was listed as an associate of Torpee's. Lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Randall wired Reno authorities requesting they locate King and hold
him for part possible questioning. Once these preliminaries were accomplished,
Randall and I went out to the address or a
dvance had given me. This turned up a blank. The
landlady informed us that mister Torpey had lived there, but
it checked out the preceding morning, no forwarding address. The
(10:19):
good Lieutenant and I parted company outside the apartment house,
and I walked back to my hotel. I was going
to change clothes and grab some dinner, but the clerk
waved me over to the house phone.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
A call had just come in. Johnny Dollar paid Johnny
how to go when your boy getting down at.

Expense account items one sixty cab fare to the drug
star where Pete Floyan was keeping a watchful eye on
my nervous informer or in vance. I found the drug store,
but Pete was nowhere in sight. The girl behind the
soda fountain recognized him by my description and said he'd
stepped out a few minutes before. I glanced up and
down the block and then spotted him standing just outside
the shadow of a street light across the street.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
I walked over, Hi, Johnny, that's the room back there,
lights on. He's got a couple of visitors in there
with him. Showed up about five minutes ago, car taxi.

kill Vance. I wish I knew more about what this
is all about, Johnny. Yeah, I said, Oh, it's all talk,

he's all wet. Good night. Just a minute.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Before I went down, I heard a go up a
couple of more times, must have been six inches from
my head. My eyes couldn't see and my feet wouldn't move,
but I could hear.

and the whole world caved in.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And he uh and he lied on the man who was.

With Torpy good descriptions, with no luck so far. He
hoisted a car outside a Dvance's place. He found it
two hours later, no prints on it, some blood he
might have one of Fourian slugged his him. Yeah, we
gotta land that bird.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Hey, you all right?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I felt awful, and Lieutenant Randall left me alone for
the rest of the day. At three point thirty the
following day, or Advance regained consciousness long enough to relate
what had happened. I was wheelchaired down to his bedside,
statement and clothes.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
That was Harry King with Toby King flew here three
days ago, Marino. It came to my place to find
out what I'd done with a ten dollar bill. Torby

Hello, mister Dollar, missus King.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
Yes, and you look pretty weak. I feel that way
every bit a sit down.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
The small, pretty brunette woman and the nice clothes look
like anything but the wife of a bank bandit and murderer.
She looked more like a housewife on a shopping tour
or a school teacher on a New York vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I listened while she cleared up some questions I had
in mind.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
There's a reward posted, isn't there for that hold up
in Baltimore?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Ten thousand dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (18:52):
Well, I get it if I turn Harry over to
the police.
Speaker 1 (18:55):

Speaker 11 (19:10):
Trying to figure what about you. I'll pass it up
five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
For Harry, providing he was tied in with the Baltimore
hold up it. That's what the insurance company's interested in.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
He was in it, all right.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
I want to get something else straight. What happens to me?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What do you mean?
Speaker 11 (19:28):
I'm his wife know he had a part that hold
up for the last six months. I haven't said anything.
Does that make me a party to it or something?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Head?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You could have informed, but you couldn't have testified being
his wife.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
I'm a rain I don't want to spend all the
money hiring lawyers to keep me out of jail.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
My company, I've covered that. Where's Harry? Oh not yet?
What now?
Speaker 11 (19:48):
I better get something in writing from you, Something that
says your insurance company'll pay me the reward and give
me help if I get in any trouble.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
All right, I'll talk to him this time.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
I'm thinking of the future. I'm going to have one.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Once this is over, I hope so, missus.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
King, I know so, mister dollar.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Did Harry have money? He couldn't spend two.
Speaker 11 (20:09):
Forty five thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Where is it?
Speaker 11 (20:14):
I can give you that when I give you, Harry, Well,
it's thought of everything I tried to Harry and a
torpie man were fools. O Lee ever got out of
it was the mark bills worthless money.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
You don't happen to know who the other phone man were,
do you?
Speaker 10 (20:29):
No?
Speaker 11 (20:30):
I suppose that's what you'll ask Harry when you get him.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's the idea, Poor Harry.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
How long will it take you to get things arranged?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Not more than an hour. I can do it by phone.
I'll call you, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I gave her a fifty second start before I left
the table and went out on the street. I was
just in time to see her climb into a cab.
I was trying to hair one to follow her when
a black coupe.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Pulled up to the curb.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
Heyst it little change?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
How he feel terrible? What is this? The vance told
us it was King.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
We checked the airlines and found out that Ed's wife
with him when he flew in from Reno. That is
missus King up there in that cab, isn't he?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's who she said she was.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
She wants to sell you were a husband for part
of that reward, doesn't she yeap?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
What's the delay? She wants to make sure she'll be
handled alright. The money and all sold advance. Don't need me,
I don't mean to. It's all figures. I thought she
might try to get in touch with you for just
that reason.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Well, that's why I put a man on your hotel
followed you when you came to meet her today, and
he phoned me. We looked her up. Her name was
Melville Thayler before she married King. Her old man had
a lot of money in Minnesota, but she couldn't keep
herself out of trouble and got disinherited on his own.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Has been her problem. It's everybody's problem, not the way
it is.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
With her now. King's worth a lot of dodo or
if you pay off. He's no good door now, lying
somewhere with a slug in him. And he hasn't been
any good door with the marked money he got in
the town or hold.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Up, there's something else?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Random?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
What she's starling me. I think she said she didn't
know who they were.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But if she was lying and she does know who
the others were, and that towner hold up King, it'd
be worth even more money. They'd want him dead instead
of with the police talking his head off.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
We followed melvil King's taxi for better than forty five minutes,
all the way through the Holland Tunnel and into Jersey.
She finally left it at a train station in Bucks County.
We watched her buy a magazine and sit down in
the waiting room and begin to read it. Fifteen minutes later,
she stepped into the phone booth. When she came out,
I went over to the filling station phone to see
(22:56):
if she'd phoned my hotel.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Well, she wasn't trying to get me.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Well, that's Saturday's contact with the others, going to sell
to you or them whoever pays most for.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Him, some operator, isn't he.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Well, when you have time, look at the file we
picked up on her sixteen arrests, one conviction for narcotics
since she was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well we will see what we will see. Didn't take long.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
When a green Cadillac pulled up at the station, malver
King stepped out on the platform and greeted the two
men who were in it. She sat in the car
with him and talked for a short time, then got
back out. When the Cadillac rolled away, lieutended Randall was
on the radio ordering a pickup Yale.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Five nine six. I don't pick him up right away.
We'll stay with her.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
When malver King caught another taxi, we were right behind her.
She took her to an auto court about a mile
from the station. We saw her go into the cabin.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Mark D. Randall radioed in our location.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
We were about to check the auto court office when
the door to Cabin D opened. Standing beside melvil King
in the doorway of the cottage was a pale, stocky man.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It looked as though his legs wouldn't support him another minute.
Then she saw us get out of the car.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
He'll kill me.

A phone called a prisoner dismissal board at Sing Sing Prison,
where I was informed that oron Vance had been released
three days before the above date. He had completed seven
years of a seven to fifteen year term for grand theft.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It was non parole release.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The chaplain described him as a model prisoner with a
better than average chance of remaining out of prison for
the rest of his life. For that reason, I was
willing to listen to his story when he showed up
an hour later.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Hello, Odella, you haven't changed a bit. Come on advanced.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, sure, nice. It's a nice place you get.

Speaker 1 (03:14):

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Want you to offer me a seat, invite me to
sit out it?
Speaker 1 (03:19):

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Thanks again. No thought about it a lot. If you

have had you over for dinner. Maybe we would have
been friends.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Look, I can't get a job and I'll have to
go in business for myself. I need a steak. That's
why I'm here to see you.

I think you're an honest man. Thanks you ever.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Hear the town A case in Bornemore Towner Loan Company
in nineteen forty six, Yeah, everybody's heard about that million
dollar theft.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The insurance companies still have a reward for information leading
to the arresting.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Commission was never solved. I suppose they do.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
I can help you help them solve it the half
of that reward, can you.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I know two of the men.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Who did it, two of the six men. I talked
to one of them yesterday. I'll tell you who they are.
Wake and pick them up. But I want my name
out of the picture.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Could get fixate, yeah, probably, but I have to talk
to the police sooner or later.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh look, this is a good thing dollar and all
I'm asking is your promise to keep my name out
of it. Tell me how good before I make any promises.
That's fair enough. They had some of the serial numbers
on part of the take here. This is one of
the bills. Why don't you check it with him? Then
we'll take it from here.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Spencer con item too, fourteen dollars and eighty five cent
it's a long distance phone called the chief investigator, Don Freed,
All State's Insurance, who verified that the serial numbers and
the ten dollar bill or on vance had me tied
in with the townter Loan company theft. I explained the
information I had at hand and the source from which
it had come, leaving out any mention of names. Freed
(05:19):
talked with his boss and pulled me back half an
hour later, giving me the go ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okay, vance here in business. All right, how does it work?
You tell me who they are. I'll handle it from here.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I mean the money part, and we have something, you'll
get paid for it. All I've had so far is talk.
This bill could have come from anywhere. You might have
picked it up at a cigar county.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Look.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I got it from a man named Leonard Torpie.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
He lives in New York.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He's one of them.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Leonard Torpie.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah, I met him my second year. Asked me he
was up on an old petty theft charte. She did
eighteen months. Told me to look him up when I
got out. This part may sound crazy, but we had
a few drinks together in his place yesterday. I was
weeping on his shoulder out all my hard luck, and
he said, you think you'll got hard luck? Then he
marched me into the bedroom, showed me a stack of
(06:06):
money and a bureau drawer. He said he couldn't spend it,
and he gave me one of the bills. Must have
been pretty drunk out it was. I got to thinking
about it. Checked the bill, found out it was in
the town of me. I looked up the story in it,
Torpie fits the description of one of the hold up
men right down the line.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
We'll see you say, you know two of them? Who's
the other one?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Harold King lives in Reno, Nevada, now runs a filming
station there. He used to come see Torpy in visiting days.
I saw him several times.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It makes you think he had a part in the town.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
I think just what top he said while he was drunk,
and the general description of the other hole up men
in the story say, while Thorpe was drunk, he mentioned
his old partner, Harry King told me where he was living.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So for you say anything about the hold up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
No, I told you I found that part for myself.
But King is the other man, I'm sure of it.
King have a record. I don't know anything about him. Okay,
where'd he be Alphoni?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Two days? Oh? I should know something by then.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Remember my name's out of it. The police or anybody else.
Sure you're afraid, Yeah, I'm a stool pigeon.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, haven't you noticed.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'd noticed, and I worried me, so I followed him
when he left my place. I was buying a package
of cigarettes at the corner drug store while he bought
the street car for downtown. I tagged along in a
taxi to the main business section, watched him get off
and head for the bus terminal. I bought another package
of cigarettes while he bought a one way ticket to
New York. In a half hour before departure time, I
(07:41):
telephoned a private detective friend of mine, Pete Florian.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
He appeared at the bus terminal fifteen minutes later. What's
the rumble, Johnny. That man over there in a gray overcoat.
His name's ed Vance. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
He's on his way to New York right now. Maybe
you better tag along. See that nobody killed him. Oh,
if what he told me is true, somebody might try
to do just that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Stay close till he settle somewhere.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And she I haven't got any more to tell you, Pete,
because I'm just starting to look into it. Find out
where he's living there, and contact me at this number.
I'll let you know what to do then, all right,
anything else, don't let him out of your sight Pete
Spencer con Item three one hundred bucks retainer for private
(08:27):
Detective Pete Florian for explained purposes. I stayed at the
bus terminal long enough to watch Pete board the New
York bound bus and take a seat across the aisle
for more in vance Item four eight dollars and eighty
five cents Plane fair Hartford and New York. Item five
four fifty cab fair to hotel, and then the Metropolitan
(08:50):
Police station, where I explained my business to Lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Randall, who gave you this tip dollan.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm afraid I can't tell you that, Lieutenant. Why not
because I promised not to disclose any names. I can
tell you that the source is a man who couldn't
possibly have had anything to do with the case since
he was in president at the time of the hold up.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
But you want me to stick my neck out and
get up a search warrant and maybe take this word
Torpi into custody.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
On your say, so, you have plenty to start with with.
That ten dollar bill should be enough for you to
look into it.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And why you looked into it?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Frankly, yes, prima facie evidence, but no name, No name
I've told you all there is no believe me.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Let's get busy. The mug folder on.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Leonard Torpey showed a balding, forty year old man with
a long record of thefton burglary.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
There was no record for a Harald King, although he
was listed as an associate of Torpee's. Lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Randall wired Reno authorities requesting they locate King and hold
him for part possible questioning. Once these preliminaries were accomplished,
Randall and I went out to the address or a
dvance had given me. This turned up a blank. The
landlady informed us that mister Torpey had lived there, but
it checked out the preceding morning, no forwarding address. The
(10:19):
good Lieutenant and I parted company outside the apartment house,
and I walked back to my hotel. I was going
to change clothes and grab some dinner, but the clerk
waved me over to the house phone.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
A call had just come in. Johnny Dollar paid Johnny

my nervous informer or in vance. I found the drug store,
but Pete was nowhere in sight. The girl behind the
soda fountain recognized him by my description and said he'd
stepped out a few minutes before. I glanced up and
down the block and then spotted him standing just outside
the shadow of a street light across the street.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
I walked over, Hi, Johnny, that's the room back there,
lights on. He's got a couple of visitors in there
with him. Showed up about five minutes ago, car taxi.

And he uh and he lied on the man who was.

I felt awful, and Lieutenant Randall left me alone for
the rest of the day. At three point thirty the
following day, or Advance regained consciousness long enough to relate
what had happened. I was wheelchaired down to his bedside,

every bit a sit down.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
The small, pretty brunette woman and the nice clothes look
like anything but the wife of a bank bandit and murderer.
She looked more like a housewife on a shopping tour
or a school teacher on a New York vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I listened while she cleared up some questions I had
in mind.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
There's a reward posted, isn't there for that hold up
in Baltimore?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Ten thousand dollars? Yeah?

You don't happen to know who the other phone man were,
do you?
Speaker 10 (20:29):
No?
Speaker 11 (20:30):
I suppose that's what you'll ask Harry when you get him.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's the idea, Poor Harry.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
How long will it take you to get things arranged?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Not more than an hour. I can do it by phone.
I'll call you, okay.

the table and went out on the street. I was
just in time to see her climb into a cab.

that reason.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Well, that's why I put a man on your hotel
followed you when you came to meet her today, and
he phoned me. We looked her up. Her name was
Melville Thayler before she married King. Her old man had
a lot of money in Minnesota, but she couldn't keep
herself out of trouble and got disinherited on his own.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Has been her problem. It's everybody's problem, not the way
it is.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
With her now. King's worth a lot of dodo or
if you pay off. He's no good door now, lying
somewhere with a slug in him. And he hasn't been
any good door with the marked money he got in
the town or hold.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Up, there's something else?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Random?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
What she's starling me. I think she said she didn't
know who they were.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But if she was lying and she does know who
the others were, and that towner hold up King, it'd
be worth even more money. They'd want him dead instead
of with the police talking his head off.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
We followed melvil King's taxi for better than forty five minutes,
all the way through the Holland Tunnel and into Jersey.
She finally left it at a train station in Bucks County.
We watched her buy a magazine and sit down in
the waiting room and begin to read it. Fifteen minutes later,
she stepped into the phone booth. When she came out,
I went over to the filling station phone to see
(22:56):
if she'd phoned my hotel.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Well, she wasn't trying to get me.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Well, that's Saturday's contact with the others, going to sell
to you or them whoever pays most for.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Him, some operator, isn't he.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Well, when you have time, look at the file we
picked up on her sixteen arrests, one conviction for narcotics
since she was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well we will see what we will see. Didn't take long.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
When a green Cadillac pulled up at the station, malver
King stepped out on the platform and greeted the two
men who were in it. She sat in the car
with him and talked for a short time, then got
back out. When the Cadillac rolled away, lieutended Randall was
on the radio ordering a pickup Yale.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Five nine six. I don't pick him up right away.
We'll stay with her.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
When malver King caught another taxi, we were right behind her.
She took her to an auto court about a mile
from the station. We saw her go into the cabin.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Mark D. Randall radioed in our location.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
We were about to check the auto court office when
the door to Cabin D opened. Standing beside melvil King
in the doorway of the cottage was a pale, stocky man.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It looked as though his legs wouldn't support him another minute.
Then she saw us get out of the car.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
He'll kill me.
Speaker 11 (24:25):
He's gotta gun on me. Don't do anything, don't do
anything that's right.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
He gets you the anybody gets you my way.

Speaker 8 (24:34):

Speaker 8 (24:44):
Yeah, oys, no ice, shower do especially if you be good.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
That's funny. I thought the same thing about you, King Kang,
bless your reason. I can tell you're hurt bad, you
need help. Why don't you give it up?
Speaker 8 (25:05):
How much were you gonna give it for me?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I wasn't how much telling half of it?
Speaker 8 (25:13):

Yes? You did? I passed out this morning. You've got

Yeah, that's a good place to die on your feet?
Maybe I will make it.
