Speaker 9 (04:13):
In the winter of nineteen fifty one, the law enforcement
agencies of New York and Florida requested FBI cooperation and
tracking down a car that ring, which was thought to
be operating between New York and Miami, Florida. Three New
York cars were recovered in Miami during a six month
period when local police conducted an intensive check of used
car lots, but only one of the youthed car dealers,
(04:35):
was considered suspicious. He was questioned, allowed to go, then
put under surveillance. During the time of this surveillance, other
events were shaping up to bring the activities of the
ring out into the opening.
Speaker 10 (04:51):
So when that's any more cars on met Lot, you'll
take that chaddy to this address on Bay Street.

think you are? Asking for more money?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Take a lot of risk driving those cars. Fifteen hundred minds.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Listen, you want to quit, go on, get out. We
can pick up punks like you all over the street.
Take it easy, Nick, who you tell him? Take it easy?
Speaker 11 (05:17):

And Then in February we got our first real break
in the case. Every regulable youth car dealer in the
Miami area had been notified.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
To be cautious in the purchase of out of state car.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
A dealer in Fort Lauderdale called us one morning, and
after a brief talk on the phone, we hurried.
Speaker 17 (09:11):
Over to his office. The car had New York plates.
Mister Shaffer, that's right. And what made you suspicious of
this man?
Speaker 7 (09:22):
As Shaffer? Whoa mostly the price he wanted for the car.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
It was a brand new fifty three Cadillac, and he
said I could have it for eighteen hundred cash.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Eighteen hundred I can get practically twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Hundred for that model.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
Did he give you any reason for the low price?
Speaker 11 (09:38):
He had a real pretty girl in the front seat,
said they just got married and he was going out west.
He didn't want to drive and wanted to get rid
of the car and hurry.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
You said he was young, mister.
Speaker 11 (09:47):
Shepph twenty five or six.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I'd say, of course.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
He could have been some rich kid who was on
the level. So I said, did he mind if I
had a look at the car? He had kind of
nervous man, He said. The car was in perfect shape.
He showed me a bill of sale and registration.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Do you remember the name on the bill of sale?
Speaker 11 (10:04):
No, I don't. I just glanced at it, and then
I lifted up the hood of the car. I wanted
to see the motor number. He got real sore then,
but I could just see that the metal around the
motor number had a lot of chisel marks, and the
number looked new. All of a sudden, he said, I
was wasting his time. He slammed down the hood and
drove off. I took down this license number.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
It is okay, mister Shaffer, thanks a lot. May I
use your phone? Go ahead, we'll get out and the
alarm on the.
Speaker 3 (10:35):

Speaker 9 (10:38):
That's what he said, Oh, Adrian Shepherd speaking, let me
have the teletype room please, I want to put an
alarm on the air right away.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He was asleep.

for him. In addition, the Motor Vehicle Bureau was put

Two days later, such a request was reported.

By a New Orleans Youth car dealer who had purchased
the car for eighteen hundred dollars. We interviewed the dealer
immediately and verified the description of the selling. We also
found that the nineteen forty nine Ford had been stolen
from this dealer's lot the night of his purchase of
the catalanc.

acts like we were running away from something.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Rockhill I'm running away from is a crummy job.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
I could believe that. Jerry just doesn't seem that way
to me.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
While our trail stopped momentarily in New Orleans, another trail
was being picked up at the edly Motor Court in Miami.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Wait here, Sam, I'll be out in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 21 (16:53):

from your daughter.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Jerry.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Well no I didn't.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Oh that's too bad. You know that crazy kid Jerry
walked right out of our office. Didn't even leave us
a forwarding address. I've got to check for eight hundred
dollars belonging to him. I don't even know weddicine.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Hu.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Those kids could probably use it on their honeymoon.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
Well, sure they could. Would you would you want to
leave it with me?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
And the first time I hear.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
No, I'd rather not, Missus Edley. Besides, I want to
talk to Jerry.
Speaker 13 (17:41):
I want to offer him the franchise for California Territory.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Oh but if you haven't heard, well that's my tough luck.
Try to bother you, missus. Mister Morton, yes.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You didn't bother men.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
I'm afraid I've been telling you a little fuite Lie.
I did hear from him, Lise Almami, my.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Daughter phoned me.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Oh she didn't.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
They're staying at a motel just outside of Austin, Texas.
Speaker 13 (18:07):
I guess if he knew you had a check for
him and you wanted him to work with.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
What's the name of the motel, Missus Eddy.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
It's the Panhandler twenty, just outside the city.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Hanhandle on Route twenty. Thanks Missus Eddie.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
I don't know whether I should have told you.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Oh, you were perfectly right in telling me Jerry just
didn't want to talk business on his honeymoon.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Thanks again, Missus Edie.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
I know Jerry is going to be real surprised when
he finds out what I've got for him.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Back to the Traveling Man and just the moment. But first,
what's the best soap for extra dirty hands. To get
the answer, We've asked two men to make the lava
wash up texts, once using ordinary to on it soap,
the other lava Ready. Boys, Wow, look at plava gets
that dirt. Every inch of flapa contains fifty thousand tiny
(19:05):
scuvers Kurt's corn and thirty to fifty seconds Papa's couple
action latherorus tough on dirt, cattle on hand. It contains
the same soothing ingredient use an expensive hand motion.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
I'm up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Let's see the results first, the man who used lava,
how about it. My hands are clean, really clean, no
marks on the town, and yours, sir, and.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You're still dirty.
Speaker 22 (19:28):
Ordinary soap just can't clean so deep, so.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Fast, Right you are. There's nothing like lapper to get
hands clean and.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Keep towels fresh. So for you, Dad, for you, Mom,
and the kids. Always keep Lappa handed.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
L A A l av.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
A and I'll at three of the lights. Sorry, the
traveling man.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
Then, having located the blue Cadillac in New Orleans, we
shifted our attention to the Ford, which had been stolen
from the dealer who'd purchased the Cadillac. The Ford's license
number was spotted by a gas station attendant in a
Texas town on Route two ninety, just west of Houston.
By the time the state police were notified, the car
was lost again. Adrian Reynolds and I picked up the
(20:28):
trail at this town and headed west the direction of
the stolen car. Our car was radio equipped and we
maintained contact with our San Antonio field.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Off kfbi'd car, Well, where are you now?

Speaker 8 (20:52):
Okay, we're still with it.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Okay, we'll keep you posting right.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Want me to drive a wall ship?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, I'm not tiring. How far is it Austin?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Little over fifty according to this map.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Looks like we're gonna draw a blank, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Maybe they were heading west on this road two ninety.
Speaker 9 (21:09):

Speaker 9 (04:13):
In the winter of nineteen fifty one, the law enforcement
agencies of New York and Florida requested FBI cooperation and
tracking down a car that ring, which was thought to
be operating between New York and Miami, Florida. Three New
York cars were recovered in Miami during a six month
period when local police conducted an intensive check of used
car lots, but only one of the youthed car dealers,
(04:35):
was considered suspicious. He was questioned, allowed to go, then
put under surveillance. During the time of this surveillance, other
events were shaping up to bring the activities of the
ring out into the opening.
Speaker 10 (04:51):
So when that's any more cars on met Lot, you'll
take that chaddy to this address on Bay Street.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Guy knows you'd come in.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Okay, nowhere is my mind.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
You'll get it. You'll get it.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You're gonna speak to Joe for me, try to get
little more.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
No, I'm not gonna speak to Joe. Who do you
think you are? Asking for more money?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Take a lot of risk driving those cars. Fifteen hundred minds.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Listen, you want to quit, go on, get out. We
can pick up punks like you all over the street.
Take it easy, Nick, who you tell him? Take it easy?
Speaker 11 (05:17):
This time last year, you're nothing but a loafer hanging
around a pool room.
Speaker 7 (05:20):

Try drive the cars.

last run, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Maybe it will.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Maybe I'll go into business for myself. You just try it.
You just try that once.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Get on.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I'm only kidding, Nick.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Go out for yourself. Go on, just try.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's just that I need a little more money.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
That's so you don't get it.
Speaker 10 (05:46):

of that?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
I think you should, Jerry, if you want to.

And Then in February we got our first real break
in the case. Every regulable youth car dealer in the
Miami area had been notified.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
To be cautious in the purchase of out of state car.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
A dealer in Fort Lauderdale called us one morning, and
after a brief talk on the phone, we hurried.
Speaker 17 (09:11):
Over to his office. The car had New York plates.
Mister Shaffer, that's right. And what made you suspicious of
this man?
Speaker 7 (09:22):
As Shaffer? Whoa mostly the price he wanted for the car.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
It was a brand new fifty three Cadillac, and he
said I could have it for eighteen hundred cash.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Eighteen hundred I can get practically twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Hundred for that model.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
Did he give you any reason for the low price?
Speaker 11 (09:38):
He had a real pretty girl in the front seat,
said they just got married and he was going out west.
He didn't want to drive and wanted to get rid
of the car and hurry.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
You said he was young, mister.
Speaker 11 (09:47):
Shepph twenty five or six.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I'd say, of course.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
He could have been some rich kid who was on
the level. So I said, did he mind if I
had a look at the car? He had kind of
nervous man, He said. The car was in perfect shape.
He showed me a bill of sale and registration.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Do you remember the name on the bill of sale?
Speaker 11 (10:04):
No, I don't. I just glanced at it, and then
I lifted up the hood of the car. I wanted
to see the motor number. He got real sore then,
but I could just see that the metal around the
motor number had a lot of chisel marks, and the
number looked new. All of a sudden, he said, I
was wasting his time. He slammed down the hood and
drove off. I took down this license number.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
It is okay, mister Shaffer, thanks a lot. May I
use your phone? Go ahead, we'll get out and the
alarm on the.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Car right away. The driver said he was going to California.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
That's what he said, Oh, Adrian Shepherd speaking, let me
have the teletype room please, I want to put an
alarm on the air right away.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He was asleep.
Speaker 8 (11:00):

Yes, don't start worrying for where you stay in Alma

Speaker 8 (14:09):
Well listen that.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
That man that you come see Jerry was in here,

He wants to know where to get in touch with Jerry.

call you Alma. We're only staying here a few days

Speaker 9 (14:37):
After the blue Cadillac got away from the sheriff in
West Bay, Mississippi, Louisiana police were asked to watch out
for him. In addition, the Motor Vehicle Bureau was put
on the alert to check any request for a transfer.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Of New York registration.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Two days later, such a request was reported.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
By a New Orleans Youth car dealer who had purchased
the car for eighteen hundred dollars. We interviewed the dealer
immediately and verified the description of the selling. We also
found that the nineteen forty nine Ford had been stolen
from this dealer's lot the night of his purchase of
the catalanc.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
That it's not a bad little job for nineteen forty nine,
is it?
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Alma?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Humhm? You know you've been acting like a clam ever
since we left New Orleans.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Oh, come on, what's eating you nothing? You're not still
worried about that cop in West Bay, are you?
Speaker 8 (15:27):
Maybe? I am well.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I told you I just don't like cops. That's all
the most we.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Would have gotten with a fine Jerry Fabricks, I don't
like cops.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
They don't mind's your own business and all my mind.
You know, I mean that album. You talk about that
cop once more and I'll put you on the first
train back to Miami.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
You hear me?
Speaker 20 (15:48):
Yes, good, there's a sign coming up, Alma, you read it.
Come on, it's your turn, Jerry.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Oh, you're not gonna start falling on me.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Talk to me like that?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Like what all I said was I don't like coptus
or anything queer about that.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Maybe there is, I don't know. I don't know. Jerry,
you won't let me call mar even central postcard. He
acts like we were running away from something.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Rockhill I'm running away from is a crummy job.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
I could believe that. Jerry just doesn't seem that way
to me.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
While our trail stopped momentarily in New Orleans, another trail
was being picked up at the edly Motor Court in Miami.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Wait here, Sam, I'll be out in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 21 (16:53):
Hey, good morning man. Oh hello, remember me. I was
in here last week.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Oh, yes, you're mister Morton.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
That's right. I was just driving by.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
I thought i'd stop in and see if you'd heard
from your daughter.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Jerry.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Well no I didn't.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Oh that's too bad. You know that crazy kid Jerry
walked right out of our office. Didn't even leave us
a forwarding address. I've got to check for eight hundred
dollars belonging to him. I don't even know weddicine.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Hu.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Those kids could probably use it on their honeymoon.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
Well, sure they could. Would you would you want to
leave it with me?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
And the first time I hear.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
No, I'd rather not, Missus Edley. Besides, I want to
talk to Jerry.
Speaker 13 (17:41):
I want to offer him the franchise for California Territory.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Oh but if you haven't heard, well that's my tough luck.
Try to bother you, missus. Mister Morton, yes.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You didn't bother men.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
I'm afraid I've been telling you a little fuite Lie.
I did hear from him, Lise Almami, my.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Daughter phoned me.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Oh she didn't.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
They're staying at a motel just outside of Austin, Texas.
Speaker 13 (18:07):
I guess if he knew you had a check for
him and you wanted him to work with.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
What's the name of the motel, Missus Eddy.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
It's the Panhandler twenty, just outside the city.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Hanhandle on Route twenty. Thanks Missus Eddie.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
I don't know whether I should have told you.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Oh, you were perfectly right in telling me Jerry just
didn't want to talk business on his honeymoon.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Thanks again, Missus Edie.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
I know Jerry is going to be real surprised when
he finds out what I've got for him.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Back to the Traveling Man and just the moment. But first,
what's the best soap for extra dirty hands. To get
the answer, We've asked two men to make the lava
wash up texts, once using ordinary to on it soap,
the other lava Ready. Boys, Wow, look at plava gets
that dirt. Every inch of flapa contains fifty thousand tiny
(19:05):
scuvers Kurt's corn and thirty to fifty seconds Papa's couple
action latherorus tough on dirt, cattle on hand. It contains
the same soothing ingredient use an expensive hand motion.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
I'm up.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Let's see the results first, the man who used lava,
how about it. My hands are clean, really clean, no
marks on the town, and yours, sir, and.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You're still dirty.
Speaker 22 (19:28):
Ordinary soap just can't clean so deep, so.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Fast, Right you are. There's nothing like lapper to get
hands clean and.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Keep towels fresh. So for you, Dad, for you, Mom,
and the kids. Always keep Lappa handed.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
L A A l av.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
A and I'll at three of the lights. Sorry, the
traveling man.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
Then, having located the blue Cadillac in New Orleans, we
shifted our attention to the Ford, which had been stolen
from the dealer who'd purchased the Cadillac. The Ford's license
number was spotted by a gas station attendant in a
Texas town on Route two ninety, just west of Houston.
By the time the state police were notified, the car
was lost again. Adrian Reynolds and I picked up the
(20:28):
trail at this town and headed west the direction of
the stolen car. Our car was radio equipped and we
maintained contact with our San Antonio field.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Off kfbi'd car, Well, where are you now?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Just passed free?
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Monch?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Got anything for us?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Nothing yet? Nothing is past the checkpoints west of Austin.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Okay, we're still with it.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Okay, we'll keep you posting right.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Want me to drive a wall ship?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, I'm not tiring. How far is it Austin?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Little over fifty according to this map.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Looks like we're gonna draw a blank, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Maybe they were heading west on this road two ninety.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
How many roads branch from two ninety between Houston and Austin.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
I'm not gonna count.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
And if they were smart, they'd stay off main highways,
wouldn't they?
Speaker 16 (21:17):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
But I don't think they are smart. Ship, at least
the boy isn't. He could have picked up a car
off the street instead of the dealer's lot.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Unless he didn't know how to take one off the street.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Yeah, ah, that's an angle two.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
But how did he get the Catalan?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:30):
It's possible he was just a delivery man.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Possible.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
The where's he running?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Why?
Speaker 9 (21:34):
I'll tell you that when we find him and if okay,
But anyway, eat eat, yeah, lunch. Look, you've been to
the movies, you watch television.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Did you ever see a federal agency down to eat?
You got me there.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
You can't do anything as dull as well. Go ahead.
Speaker 22 (21:51):
We just got word from the Sheriff's office at Hillman,
a motel on Route twenty, checked out a forty nine
forward last night with Louisiana license to O six.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
How far are you from the town of Dry River.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Uh, let's talk about thirty miles.
Speaker 22 (22:06):
You're closer than the sheriff and Hillman. It's the Panhandle
Motel Route twenty about ten miles west of Belgium.

Okay, we're on the way.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
