Speaker 7 (02:03):
On a July morning last year, a three time loser
named Boloslav Babe Stansick made a daring escape from the
Federal penitentiary at Louisbourg. Sansick was a dangerous killer. Five
years before he had been turned in by an informer
named Joseph Riser. During his trial had repeatedly sworn bloody revenge. Now,
with Stamsick at large, we felt Riser was a living target.
(02:26):
An all points bulletin was promptly sent out on both men.
We were confident of one thing. If we found Riser,
we'd also find stam Sick. Our immediate problem was food
would find him first.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
So welcome aboard. Joseph's been too long between sevens and
what have The rope said, Yes, I saved your old cabin. Boy.
I did first mate to use nick, but I said
to him, I said, Tomaso, you remember I'm tide with
shovel pretty soon now, I said, Tomaso clear out.

We got us a cab.

worry on my income text, same old Joseph too. How
long has been Joe? Two years? Three or something like that?
You shove it up pretty soon, now that's right. It
was three years, I think right after you drove the
car and that pale old Josh happy. I'm a little beat.
I think i'll turn in a few mind three. You
(03:46):
said you were going straight after that one, and I
knew you'd be back. How long you figure on hiding out?
Does it? I'm not hiding out? Six weeks? Maybe it
was six last time I told you.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't know, six, maybe more. You got the objections
all right with me?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
How long you stay? The more I charge you, no objection,
as long as you've got to care. What's not right? Now?
Speaker 6 (04:10):

a bottle of my very best. We start off and
get a passenger with over ninety thousand dollars in new
banknotes to myself. We want to wish him a pleasant voyage,
(05:18):
don't we.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Back to the targets in just a moment.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Why do men of our American Armed forces honor a
code of conduct? General Lawton Jay Collins answered the question
in this way, we take for granted much too much,
in my opinion, the freedoms that we have here at home.
Our system is based on the conviction that you and
(05:51):
I have a responsibility and a life to live of
our own, a responsibility to ourselves and a responsibility to
God Almighty. But I can assure you we must continue
with the program of checking the spread of communism in
the world, guaranteeing our freedom of living, in order that
(06:12):
you and I can enjoy some of these great things
in this place which we call America. That is why
the American military man honors a code of condest.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Back too tonight. Story on the FBI in Peace and War.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
The target.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Memorandum to the Director confidential in reference our bulletins to
one O four dash W Babe Stansleick escaped prisoner Police Departments,
Bays City reports car commandeered at gunpoint by a man
of this description. Check driver, reliable background, await instructions. Sign
(07:16):
at Stevens. Hello, Dave, I see miss Gilbert Thomas Randrews.
I'd like to see him soon as he's free and
no phone calls please while I'm with Agent Reynolds.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Sorry, Dave, been waiting long a couple of minutes.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
How did it go?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
In Bay City? Same old story. I'm afraid another dead end.
Looks like time defeat. That's a long drive. Cigarette. Thanks,
I could use one at leid. It was no good.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Huh oh, it was good as far as it went.
The driver was reliable, as the local boys said so.
The man who commandeered his car was undoubtedly stamsy, but
he forced the driver out two miles out of town,
then ditched the car himself in a sandlot near Millbridge.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
That's as far as I got, a sand lot near Millbridge.
Not much health, is it? Not much? How about you?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Maybe something maybe not checked all those addresses. Uh huh
at rooming house, Yeah, that's the maybe something.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
What well?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I showed the landlady Joe Rais's picture. Seemed to me
she recognized it, but she shot up like a clam.
The only thing I could get out of her was
try three B, three B the rear apartment on the
third flour. Steve was riserho ever.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Married, not that we know of. That doesn't include recently,
of course.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Woman in three B, Yeah, but the name plate said
Freedom Milton. I showed her Joe's picture, and she clammed up,
tied in the landlady wanted to know who I was
and what I was doing there anyway. He told her
I did, and she seemed to relieved. But I couldn't
get a thing more from her. Better check into it
further already I am.
Speaker 7 (08:48):
But in the meantime, in the meantime, it looks like
Stanzick and Joe Riser are one up on us.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Stansick anyway, I'd say Ryser was one upon him self.
You think for his own sake he want to cooperate.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Yeah, you would, But fear is an unpredictable factor, Dave.
When the man's afraid, he doesn't want.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
To cooperate, even with the law.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
All he wants to do is run away and hide.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
The masso. He's copy the let's have those papers you
saved from me right here. Copy you are going to
give Senor Jordie. Yeah, how you say the bad news?
It's about time, isn't it. He's been with us two
weeks now.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
How bad is he going to be?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well, Scotch whisky is pretty expensive these days, one thousand
dollars and food. Man eats like a horse. It's going
to be very bad, Tomaso. After all, I didn't know
I was harboring any fugitive bank rubber, now did I
It's going to be very bad news. Indeed, a little
(10:13):
drink happy. Oh thanks, Joe, I'm due up on deck.
You go ahead. I've been going.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I had no food and ever enjoyed myself so much
in my life. You like the delci yah, no complaints
to share complaints. The food is lousy and his cabinet stinks.
Yeah yeah, outside of that. Outside of that, the whiskey
is sensation. Without that, you could starve at that. You
know that bottoms up?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
What's on your mind? Cappy r it's Bill's water. You're
hand in me. I may be high, but not enough
to swallow the step of your feet. And what's on
your mind? You're a smart boy, Joseph.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm smart enough to know you had something cooking ever
since you stepped in here.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Well, now it's a little fast. You went dough by
the time I made a down payment. Right, you have
been aboard two weeks now, that's what I figured. I'm
all right. Oh sure, okay, what's the damage? Well that's
five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Sorry, Joe, it's been a ten view. Eh, you won't
take five huh, that's right.
Speaker 4 (11:19):

thousand when I say no. You want why, oh, Josie,
why won't I say no? I'll tell you why. And

don't like being handled. If you make one fancy move
at me, I'll slap you and iron so fast you're Cathy,
(12:06):
all right, all right? I just want to get that straight.
And I figured this all out very carefully. Joseph. You
can't say no. Go on. Day after tomorrow. We do
back and forth with every cup in town on the
lookout for you. Now, now, Joseph, don't play games with
me every cup on the lookout. Joe, Joe, you underestimate me.
(12:28):
I buy the newspapers I read. I read about bank robberies.
Right this one you prove.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
To me.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
It strikes your money. That's very funny, Kebby, that's what's
behind this? How you think I'm hiding out for some
bank job. I told you, Joseph, don't play games. I'm
not so help me.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
You're not hiding out from me, No Cathy. From what? Then?

broke out two weeks ago. He's coming to get me.

coming into Port day after the Mars. That's the apartment. Yeah,
maybe I will. Predo will tell you about baby. Ask her.
I'm leveling with you, Cappy, you better be. I got
no appreciation for passengers who play games. Joe, you better

Speaker 9 (15:30):
Could you come up here to.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
The apartment for hell?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Now, there's a coincidence. I was going to suggest that
very thing. I can hop in the cat and be
there in twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
You'll be waiting freedom.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
You'll be waiting twenty minutes, all right, I'll be waiting.

twenty minutes and we'll be waiting for him.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Have Frida, We'll be waiting, just like you said.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Back to the target in just a moment. You know,
many great men have attained the highest office in our land,
the presidency of the United States.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Can you guess the name of this man?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He was born in seventeen ninety in the state of Virginia,
and his life seemed dedicated to his birthplace. As a
representative of that state, he served as a member of
Congress and a United States Senator. Later, he served in
the legislature of Virginia and became governors. He was elected
Vice President of the United States in eighteen forty.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
One month after he took.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
The oath of office, President William Henry Harrison died, and
the man of whom we are speaking became our national leader.
He had not truly aspired to the office, but he
served well and faithfully during his term. However, he did
not campaign for an other term. Well you should have
his name by now, but in case you don't, here's
one important clue. You'll recall that the campaign slogan of
(17:09):
William Henry Harrison was typical new and Tyler too. Yes
he was John Tyler, tenth President of the United States.
His life is part of your American heritage. Fact Free
(17:34):
of the Night story on the FBI in Peace and
War the target.
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Want me.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I don't want a thing. Just got into part this morning, Joseph,
make sure and call oh Frida. Hello, Frida you there?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes, yes, I don't think you'd better say anything over
the phone.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Could you come up here to your apartment? Well, now
there's a co instance. I was going to suggest that
very thing. I can hop in the cat and be
there in twenty minutes. Twenty minutes, all right, I'll.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Be waiting, I said.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
See that was the only call. Isn't it enough? Maybe
all time? Was it recorded three fifteen, little more than
two hours ago? Go to the apartment?
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Tell you after this call, I may have a better idea. Hello, operator,
could you get me the Sea Farri's.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Union on River Street. I don't know the number. Yes,
I'll hold on.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Okay, Nick, wait for me here, all right, very come on,
pop out of the car.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Listen, miss Hi you hit him? Yeah? Sure, seeing Nick,
Let's go, mister Stanley, it's the boat here, Yes, I say, up.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
The gang way. Do everything like I said, you go
with quick?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
What are you going to do if I'm with you?
Joe knows it was me. Who's no difference what Joe knows?
Mister Stancy, You're not going to do any shooting on
my ship, this crummy tanker.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Thing cloak you said?
Speaker 8 (19:39):
If I ripped your gizzard out of your budness?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Who's that up there?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Well?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Hello, got you cover?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
It's me to myself, tell him I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
You brought along a friend.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I tell him this gentleman's with me. To myself, it's
all right. Would I have a word with you later?
To mysel I got some business to dand what piece
you fort them?
Speaker 6 (20:04):
What the captain said?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Lady, it's all right to myself. Wait for me on
the bridge.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 10 (20:10):
You'll wait for him.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Which way down there? Last cabin on the ride. Okay,
mister stand sick, don't you no? I don't yeh. This way.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
He's in there.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, no gun play, right, okay, pop no gunplay that
when a nice silent switchblade can bring the same results.
Switch plade, Take me.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
And introduce me, P Well, I can job. I waited
a long time. Okay, open up?
Speaker 10 (20:51):
Okay, Joe, on your feet, you got all the ready,
your days to sleep up out of.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
That bunkin you talking to me? Mister?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
What is this kind of a trick?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
No, Joe, I don't know why I do.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
He's in our custody, but we took him off the
ship just half an hour ago.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You took him off. Say who are you anyway? What
you doing about my ship?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Major Stevens, Captain FBI? And I think you know what
I'm doing Affoord FBI. That's right, Stansy, I wouldn't try
using that if I were you. This gun is loaded
and my medals say I'm supposed to be a crack shot.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Why yep?
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Yes, and I wouldn't try that either. There's another agent
just outside and four more out on deck. Now that's
being smart, Stansay. There's a full moon out tonight. You
would really make a beautiful target. Although on the train
(22:07):
back to prison, he made another futile attempt to escape.
Babe Stanzik was safely returned to Louisbourg and handed.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Over to the authorities.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
A charge of consorting with an escape fugitive was brought
against Captain Burkey's but his attorney was able to convince
a grand jury not to return an indictment. However, with
Stanzick secure under special guard in an escape proof cell block,
it is safe to predict he's had his last crack
at the target.
