After a few days of the Alamauana Hotel to Honolulu,
do you notice something special about the Hawaiian face? It
has very few worry lines. After a few more days
of the Ala Muana, you notice something special about your face.
It has far fewer worry lines. You sailed and pulled,
and served and lew out, and the hulaed and poyed.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And sirloin and sunned.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You've browsed the hundreds of boutiques and bazaars of the
Alamawana International Shopping Center next door. You've sampled new delicacies
at the Summit Dining Room and the Monsheer Tanzan, and
you've met the kind of service that's worth traveling those
thousands of miles forth Balamuana of Honolulu. The money is American,
the prices are American, and the hotel is Americana. Take

Speaker 5 (02:36):
And now the Gangbusters in facts that show the operation
of our law enforcement officials in their war against the underworld.
Gangbusters has asked John J. Sullivan, former Deputy Police Commissioner
and Chief of Detectives New York City, to narrate by
proxy tonight's case the inside facts in the case of
the three Safecrackers. Chief Sullivan, I know the case you
(03:00):
are going to tell our Gangbusters listeners about tonight will
furnish unusual proof of the work of one of the
country's most colorful teams of detectives, New York City's Safe
and Love Squad. It will Don Gardner. If you and
your listeners will bear two facts in mind. First, in
burglary cases, it's extremely difficult for the police to get
evidence for conviction. And second, the surest way is to
(03:23):
know what's going to happen before it does happen, before
it happened. Yes done. I'll show you one way it
was done. This case began on a bleak overcast day
last January, at the huge Calvary cemetery on Long Island,
a lone man kneeled at one of the graves, unmindful
of the young priest.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
A few feet away.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's been a long time, peaked, but I haven't gone
back on you. I want to be all you were,
if you don't mind more. I always looked up to you, Pete,
and I still respect you. I've got the same kind
of ideas you had. Oh, hello, father, and I assist
you in your prayers my son, No, thanks, Father, it's
(04:10):
not what you call prayers. Besides, I was just leading
by Father. Goodbuye my son. Thanks anyway, next time maybe well,
hello father? Eh? Oh, Captain Hansish Are you a policeman
always hiding in the trees? Not always, Father, Sometimes we
(04:33):
come out in the open. Are you here in business?
Speaker 8 (04:36):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I came out to visit the grave of an old friend.
But uh, maybe it will develop into business. Father. You
mean that uh miner I just spoke with is strange
singing him here? I thought he was in sing sing?
Oh and what makes you think that man should be
in sing sing? Because Father I sent him there? Uh huh, Well,
(04:59):
if he's released. No doubt he'd read a good life.
I wouldn't count on it. Father, You want torment this
man now because he came to the cemetery, No, of
course not. I'm just going to see at whose grave
Freddie Russo came so far to pray? Business? Just curiosity.
Curiosity seems to be the main fault of policemen, also, father,
(05:22):
the main virtue. Your man Russo is going out the gate. Now,
that's all right, father, If I want him, I can
find him again. Yes, I suppose you can. But here's
the grave of his friend. Is your curiosity satisfied? No, Father,
Now I'm more curious, more curious at the sight of
this grave of a man ten years dead, White Captain.
(05:45):
This is the grave of Big Peachneider. Father. Indeed, he
died in Sing Sing. He was one of the most
troublesome safe crackers I can remember. And he's still troublesome. Kept, Yes,
very troublesome. Big Peachneider had a twisted pride in his trade.
He enjoyed passing his skill on to others. One of
his pupils was Fred Russel. And if Fred Russell came
(06:08):
to the grave of his master, for inspiration. He must
be up to something. I see. Well, give my best
to the boys at headquarters. I will probert and goodbye
there there. If it is at a kitchen table going
(06:31):
to what's the matter? Can't you get your nose out
of that magazine and give me dinner?

spying you.
Speaker 9 (06:52):

didn't go to work?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Okay, I was out in Long Island seeing an old friend.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
Now.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
If they post any lookouts, no, sir, We've got the
whole block covered. Too bad you didn't get them out
of the clothing store. It doesn't make any difference one
place or the other. Any orders, Captain, stick here and
cover for us. They will probably come out the way
they went in. We'll get them as they walk out
the door. Yes, I'll be with Sergeant Ryan and the others.
(22:00):
So don The Safe and Loft Squad detectives had the
twenty seven Street loft buildings surrounded, and they were waiting
for the criminals to emerge by where the door they
had entered. Meanwhile, unaware of the carefully laid trap of
these Safe and Loft Squad detectives, the three burglars had
completed their job, and we're about to leave the buildings.
Come on, come on, pick up that stuff. Yeah, so yeah,
(22:23):
get it off. I don't want nothing laying around to
give the cops a break. Yeah, I guess that's all
of it. I'll carry the tin box. You mind it too,
is Lavola. I'll take care of the box. Get that
Jimmy dead where eh? Oh?

Alright, come on driving a bag? Yeah, uh okay, let's
get out downstairs, Elsie. Oh I tell you, huh, I
tell you. Oh, tell me again when we're home in
dead Okay, old it here and we get on afraid
elevator lot the way we came in. I don't like
that elevator this time of night, no matter we came
(22:59):
up and then wait, I don't like you, that's all.
Why can't we walk down? It's only three floor he
cause the fire doors on the stairs might be bugged.
That's why I don't wanna hit me burger alarms. After
we got this fire, get on that elevator.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Why do you have to argue too much?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
For you will nothing's ever right for you? Shut up,
all right, Joe? Play it down?
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Look we can play it a lot safer. What do
you mean, Joe, take the elevator to the top. Well,
walk to the roof, over to the next building and
come down that way.
Speaker 11 (23:50):
A ruth, I means breaking through another couple of doors.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
If you want anybody to run into us coming out
of here. That's a lesson from Big Pet. Don't be
a dope. We're here on the ground floor. The street's
ten yard so away. We walk right up. There's nothing
to wake her up to the top. Joe, tell me, dear,
I heard what I said. Well do it go out me.

hands of the New York City Police Departments Safe from
Loft Squad. They're all back in the penitentiary. It was

do you notice something special about the Hawaiian face? It
has very few worry lines. After a few more days
of the Ala Muana, you notice something special about your face.
It has far fewer worry lines. You sailed and pulled,

Alamawana International Shopping Center next door. You've sampled new delicacies
at the Summit Dining Room and the Monsheer Tanzan, and
you've met the kind of service that's worth traveling those
thousands of miles forth Balamuana of Honolulu. The money is American,

block south of Campbell Center and LBJ at Preston Road

Speaker 5 (02:36):
And now the Gangbusters in facts that show the operation
of our law enforcement officials in their war against the underworld.
Gangbusters has asked John J. Sullivan, former Deputy Police Commissioner
and Chief of Detectives New York City, to narrate by
proxy tonight's case the inside facts in the case of
the three Safecrackers. Chief Sullivan, I know the case you
(03:00):
are going to tell our Gangbusters listeners about tonight will
furnish unusual proof of the work of one of the
country's most colorful teams of detectives, New York City's Safe
and Love Squad. It will Don Gardner. If you and
your listeners will bear two facts in mind. First, in
burglary cases, it's extremely difficult for the police to get
evidence for conviction. And second, the surest way is to
(03:23):
know what's going to happen before it does happen, before
it happened. Yes done. I'll show you one way it
was done. This case began on a bleak overcast day
last January, at the huge Calvary cemetery on Long Island,
a lone man kneeled at one of the graves, unmindful
of the young priest.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
A few feet away.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's been a long time, peaked, but I haven't gone
back on you. I want to be all you were,
if you don't mind more. I always looked up to you, Pete,
and I still respect you. I've got the same kind
of ideas you had. Oh, hello, father, and I assist
you in your prayers my son, No, thanks, Father, it's
(04:10):
not what you call prayers. Besides, I was just leading
by Father. Goodbuye my son. Thanks anyway, next time maybe well,
hello father? Eh? Oh, Captain Hansish Are you a policeman
always hiding in the trees? Not always, Father, Sometimes we
(04:33):
come out in the open. Are you here in business?
Speaker 8 (04:36):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I came out to visit the grave of an old friend.
But uh, maybe it will develop into business. Father. You
mean that uh miner I just spoke with is strange
singing him here? I thought he was in sing sing?
Oh and what makes you think that man should be
in sing sing? Because Father I sent him there? Uh huh, Well,
(04:59):
if he's released. No doubt he'd read a good life.
I wouldn't count on it. Father, You want torment this
man now because he came to the cemetery, No, of
course not. I'm just going to see at whose grave
Freddie Russo came so far to pray? Business? Just curiosity.
Curiosity seems to be the main fault of policemen, also, father,
(05:22):
the main virtue. Your man Russo is going out the gate. Now,
that's all right, father, If I want him, I can
find him again. Yes, I suppose you can. But here's
the grave of his friend. Is your curiosity satisfied? No, Father,
Now I'm more curious, more curious at the sight of
this grave of a man ten years dead, White Captain.
(05:45):
This is the grave of Big Peachneider. Father. Indeed, he
died in Sing Sing. He was one of the most
troublesome safe crackers I can remember. And he's still troublesome. Kept, Yes,
very troublesome. Big Peachneider had a twisted pride in his trade.
He enjoyed passing his skill on to others. One of
his pupils was Fred Russel. And if Fred Russell came
(06:08):
to the grave of his master, for inspiration. He must
be up to something. I see. Well, give my best
to the boys at headquarters. I will probert and goodbye
there there. If it is at a kitchen table going
(06:31):
to what's the matter? Can't you get your nose out
of that magazine and give me dinner?
Speaker 9 (06:39):
You get here on time and I'll eat with you.
You come late, You help yourself.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Where you've been?
Speaker 5 (06:46):

Speaker 5 (06:49):
I don't want you spying on me there, Yes, the
spying you.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
I can tell me the look on your course. You
didn't go to work?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Okay, I was out in Long Island seeing an old friend.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Now listen to me, Fred, you stay out of trouble.

Speaker 11 (07:35):
Let him stay dead.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
He never did you any good.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
He never did anybody any good, not even himself.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
He left a lot behind, very proble.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
That's all just trouble.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Oh ideas, they're right up here. Big Pete potted them
into my head one by one. There was an operator.
Speaker 9 (07:49):
And what did it get him? A sing, sing funeral.
And that's the same thing it'll get you.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
It's gonna get me a million bucks.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
All right, be all right. I'm sick of arguing with you.
You want to go back, go ahead, I don't care.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I'm not going back any place. I'm lying up a
couple of guys. I'm gonna teach him what Big Pete
taught me.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Please me out of it, that's okay.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Just ask me for something. When the door starts rolling,
I'll ask you for nothing.

whole block covered. Too bad you didn't get them out
of the clothing store. It doesn't make any difference one
place or the other. Any orders, Captain, stick here and
cover for us. They will probably come out the way
they went in. We'll get them as they walk out
the door. Yes, I'll be with Sergeant Ryan and the others.
(22:00):
So don The Safe and Loft Squad detectives had the
twenty seven Street loft buildings surrounded, and they were waiting
for the criminals to emerge by where the door they
had entered. Meanwhile, unaware of the carefully laid trap of
these Safe and Loft Squad detectives, the three burglars had
completed their job, and we're about to leave the buildings.
Come on, come on, pick up that stuff. Yeah, so yeah,
(22:23):
get it off. I don't want nothing laying around to
give the cops a break. Yeah, I guess that's all
of it. I'll carry the tin box. You mind it too,

elevator lot the way we came in. I don't like
that elevator this time of night, no matter we came
(22:59):
up and then wait, I don't like you, that's all.
Why can't we walk down? It's only three floor he
cause the fire doors on the stairs might be bugged.
That's why I don't wanna hit me burger alarms. After
we got this fire, get on that elevator.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Why do you have to argue too much?
Speaker 5 (23:13):

walk to the roof, over to the next building and

If you want anybody to run into us coming out

a dope. We're here on the ground floor. The street's
ten yard so away. We walk right up. There's nothing
