Urban was so cunning and so daring that on one

Speaker 5 (01:33):
And that's tonight's case, Lieutenant McGraths, where would you like
to begin a few.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Months ago, in Chicago's Commissioner, a slender, wiry man named
Blue Morgan was keeping an appointment in a large gymnasium
where prize fighters exercised and trained.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
I j been waiting long last time you guy here Morgan,

and perfect and no more excuse. Everything's okay now, Joe,
I got it all figured like Urban ware took enough time,
and he wants a clean job. Joe, it takes time.
He okay, Clime Evan in the back loom here and yeah,

Speaker 8 (02:19):
He's going.
Speaker 2 (02:25):

Speaker 9 (02:31):

Speaker 8 (03:02):
You should come back later. Yeah later, okay, Morgan, I
just look like that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's an easy marker in order to be two hundred grand.
I told you to find out about the burglar alive.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I did.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I did well. No burglar alarmed.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
You know.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Well that's what took me so long. Like I told
you before, the place looks like a business office. See,
but they got a big fault with a tin door.
Some people don't like to keep money in a bank,
so they rent safe deposit boxes from this office. They
got hundreds of bucks. Honey, you know there ain't no
burglar aligned. They got a watchman instead. He lives upstairs
over the office.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He and him house.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
I make friends with the guy. See, we take a walk,
have a couple of years, and before you know it,
I got to lay out of the whole form, the
same as if he handed me the blueprint.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
There it'll be a sin cherman.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
You could drop a bomb in there. Nobody here.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Why if not the doctor there's his office in the
second floor.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
He's the only one upstairs besides the watchman.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
In case the doctor.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Sure even let the dog examine me. You got nothing
worry about again, it goes home every night. You gotta
do the job.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It is, Yeah, wait Friday.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Night, then I guess I'll blow out of town for
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You'll want your ten percent to do a piece of
work for it? Well, you late some ready. You gotta
put this watchman on the spot. We don't know him,
but you're the one who's gonna do it.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
So I can't come up to my neck now if
I put the thing on that watchman a couple hanging
on me.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Sure, like I say, is you know it's good for this?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, okay. When does the watchman make his round at
the wolf?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Every hour?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
On the nose? Takes some fifteen minutes. He carry ten bucks. Yeah,
he punches at the price station. What do you do
after he makes his round?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
It takes a walk, maybe for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But look at that, And you gotta have that watchman
that toes. I figure it'll take three hours to open
the vault and track the lock boxes inside. You gotta
make the watchman's round him in the alarm orger. I'll
take care of that of him. Meanwhile, I don't want
the I nose the cops spotting at Jimmy Dawes. So
we go in with the watchman's keys, and we keep
the watchmen where he can.
Speaker 1 (05:06):

fifteen when you get to the corner drug store, go
into a cigarette eat the watchman standing in the corner.

wanna talk about when your may. That's already settled. Hooks Joe,
(10:20):
A three million dollars score makes this doda out of

darpest knight. Yeah, so he may rather little punk more
than he had the right dope. You gotta give him
credit here Morgan's.

Then in case in this job it's ten percent. You
know what ten percent of three million is? See hundred grand?
So what's a hundred Dollarsand it's a lot of though
more than we expected from the whole job. He earned it. Ah,
what business of punk like Morgan got for three hundred sizement?
It's danger for him. For uh. He tossed that door
around and get picked up. Cops make him singing, we fly.
(11:36):
You can't spend no three million in jolly yet, so
we give 'em Tayn. We ain't give him nothing, Joe,
he frunt man, and sooner or later the cops are lavenue.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Terrorized the Midwest four years.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Yes, Commissioner Valentine, the win sulurban crime was a big
business for other sort thousands. He went there for millions.
Urban was so cunning and so daring that on one
occasion he was able to rob hundreds of families of
their life savings at one blow.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
And that's tonight's case, Lieutenant McGraths, where would you like
to begin a few.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Months ago, in Chicago's Commissioner, a slender, wiry man named
Blue Morgan was keeping an appointment in a large gymnasium
where prize fighters exercised and trained.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
I j been waiting long last time you guy here Morgan,
Urban's getting them passion this time. He wants everything set
and perfect and no more excuse. Everything's okay now, Joe,
I got it all figured like Urban ware took enough time,
and he wants a clean job. Joe, it takes time.
He okay, Clime Evan in the back loom here and yeah,
(02:18):
he's getting a rub down.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
He's going.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Morgan says, it's off, said Urban Hi Evans, Philip Morgan.
Speaker 9 (02:31):
It works.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
What are you awake? Try to rub down guy? Ah,
he's stepping dumb looking. I'm a frump man. I can't
take no chance and tell me.
Speaker 9 (02:41):
I just.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay, I tell you that's enough rubber McKey see he
can't look.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
I'm a nether sky okay, Joe send Mickey.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Hey, Hey Mickey, Urban Yas that's enough robbing for now.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
You should come back later. Yeah later, okay, Morgan, I
just look like that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's an easy marker in order to be two hundred grand.
I told you to find out about the burglar alive.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I did.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I did well. No burglar alarmed.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
You know.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Well that's what took me so long. Like I told
you before, the place looks like a business office. See,
but they got a big fault with a tin door.
Some people don't like to keep money in a bank,
so they rent safe deposit boxes from this office. They
got hundreds of bucks. Honey, you know there ain't no
burglar aligned. They got a watchman instead. He lives upstairs
over the office.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He and him house.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
I make friends with the guy. See, we take a walk,
have a couple of years, and before you know it,
I got to lay out of the whole form, the
same as if he handed me the blueprint.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
There it'll be a sin cherman.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
You could drop a bomb in there. Nobody here.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Why if not the doctor there's his office in the
second floor.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
He's the only one upstairs besides the watchman.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
In case the doctor.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Sure even let the dog examine me. You got nothing
worry about again, it goes home every night. You gotta
do the job.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It is, Yeah, wait Friday.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Night, then I guess I'll blow out of town for
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You'll want your ten percent to do a piece of
work for it? Well, you late some ready. You gotta
put this watchman on the spot. We don't know him,
but you're the one who's gonna do it.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
So I can't come up to my neck now if
I put the thing on that watchman a couple hanging
on me.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Sure, like I say, is you know it's good for this?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, okay. When does the watchman make his round at
the wolf?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Every hour?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
On the nose? Takes some fifteen minutes. He carry ten bucks. Yeah,
he punches at the price station. What do you do
after he makes his round?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
It takes a walk, maybe for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But look at that, And you gotta have that watchman
that toes. I figure it'll take three hours to open
the vault and track the lock boxes inside. You gotta
make the watchman's round him in the alarm orger. I'll
take care of that of him. Meanwhile, I don't want
the I nose the cops spotting at Jimmy Dawes. So
we go in with the watchman's keys, and we keep
the watchmen where he can.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Do no damn.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, yeah, and I see a point, but why you
night you'll take a walk for that watchman at ten
fifteen when you get to the corner drug store, go
into a cigarette eat the watchman standing in the corner.
You the boys go handle with these hairs from there on,
just you have the watchman outside that drug store.
