 The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this is your FBI This is your FBI the official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Presented transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community From time to time in their 30s and early 40s most men and women asked themselves What will I be doing when I am 65 years old? What are my chances of being 100% self-supporting when it's time to stop work? Well, that's largely up to you and the decision you make right now One such opportunity for an important decision will be offered to you in our middle commercial It tells about the Equitable Society's independent 60s plan. This plan means exactly what it says Financial independence for you in your 60s. Do you like that idea? Then please listen carefully to this important message from the Equitable Society coming in about 14 minutes The subject of our FBI file Homicide it's titled the mountain murders from time to time in its never-ending war against lawlessness Your FBI runs into a type of criminal who might be described as the cold-blooded killer Others may murder in emotional fury or for self-protection But this type kills on the slightest provocation With the pittilessness of a rattlesnake embedding its fangs He is utterly ruthless an individual totally lacking in sympathy or imagination The outlaw frontier days belong to this breed as does the modern racketeer Psychologists say that such character can frequently be traced back to an unhappy childhood devoid of affection That is one reason why your FBI urges you to support youth movements and child guidance clinics in your area With their help Cases like the one discussed in tonight's official FBI file can be kept down to a minimum tonight's file opens in a mountain shack located in a southern state a Lanky raw boned man sits on a chair tilted against the wall his hat almost covering his eyes as he idly fingers his guitar Near the window a lean woman pushes her hair from her face and resumes patching a faded pair of jeans Yeah back acres need plowing Sure do Soon as I'm feeling up to it That'd be very long No telling Dragon Ian the world is too clean and it gets to being strong enough might blow them fellas away What fellas? Hey One string in the wires Roy You said last week you made him quit Thought the dead I seen two fellas in the south field South field you say yeah I've got my traps down there. I ain't telling you just to be drawing Lucy where'd you put my rifle? Where it's proper in the closet right close to where the fence needs mending I'll find them you got shells Yeah Enough to take care of both of them later that day a construction gang is at work in a large open field a few miles From the mountain shack a husky bronze-faced man yells instructions I said we'd find Joe Scott up there. That's me. Oh, I'm Jim Taylor FBI This is agent Tommy Hart We're driving back to the city mr. Scott when the office radio this and said you reported some shootings That's right. They have it on the government reservation.

I suspect a local farmer off last week Bill Carter one of our engineers was up by the site of number nine The farmer came over and threatened he told Carter to stay off that part of the hill Well, there'd be trouble that government land too. Yeah Carter explained it to him, but he said he wasn't going to have his traps ruined by a government or anybody else Carter around now down the road away Jim. How about me going to county hospital and seeing the wounded man? All right, Tommy. I'll interview Carter. I'll meet you later at the construction check You need to talk at the store about the shootings. I guess we'll be having a visitor. Who's coming? government man Heard this fella from the power company come into the store and call the government After hanging up. He said they were sending somebody when today Roy Maybe you better go hide you can set yourself in that old cave. I used a couple years back Much for caves.

Yeah, that's right. You know the man's name Roy Warren He lives in a shack across from Tower 9 Anybody else giving you any trouble a few but once they find out the lines won't hurt their farms or stock They're satisfied. Yeah, what does this Warren look like? see he's Over six feet real thin He's got high cheekbones and black hair Taylor. You shouldn't have any trouble recognizing Oh, I don't think so.

Well, we got trouble at this end Oh, what I just learned that Carter got permission to take a couple of days off Carter. Oh, it's the man I interviewed this morning. Well the one who gave you the eye-dand on the farmer. That's right Well, what's wrong with he's taking time off? I'll he told the foreman he was gonna go look for Warren himself. Oh, fine I don't know why some people think that all you have to do on this job is have a pocket for your badge Any idea where Carter headed? No, Tommy, but we better find Roy Warren before he does She's been dry. Yeah Hey Who's that? Why fella coming to us? He's a stranger. I'll fetch my gun Never saw him around Stand there mystery Okay What you on? Some water why? I'm thirsty Plenty other places got whales. I just happen to be passing here. Where were you heading up the hill? I'm with a power company Mr.. You don't have to walk around with your gun anymore That man's been captured who the one who shot two of our men last week You say they found him. Uh-huh. He was identified by the many shot Turned out he came from up north the law got him Yeah The well down back of the house Go get yourself a drink Thanks very much My horse needs chewing. Yeah No, well, can you do it now? I guess so Where are you going? See you Roy Tell her from the power company come by today Talk to him. Mm-hmm What do you want? Give me and grandpa some news What kind said they caught the fella shot those men told us he was from up north some place Well, you know Means you can come on down home. Yeah, you just stay we are Roy He's the one that told me Guess it ain't true Remember me Warren you warned me to stay away from that field Yeah, too bad. You didn't listen to him. Those other two fellas never would have got shot get up Warren We're going down to the valley What fur so I can turn you over to the police you ain't doing nothing I got a gun too young fella. You're so busy following Lucy. You never thought to look around in back Roy, what do you think we're hard to do with him? Same thing we generally do That's right Turn in just a minute to tonight's exciting case from the official file of your FBI But now listen those are the check writing machines at the home office of the equitable life assurance society Every month right on the dot those checks go out to members who have paid up their equitable independence 60s plan They're checks that mean financial independence for life after your 65 years old and here's mr. Frank Peterson Who started one of these plans back in the late 1920s? You finished your payments last year. Didn't you mr. Peterson? Yes, mr. Keating I've quit work, and I'm here to prove that life can begin at 65 in other words mr. Peterson you're now cashing in on the three freedoms that go with an independent 60s plan first Freedom from money worries and job worries financial independence. I've got some mighty fine children mr. Keating But I'm glad I'll never have to move in on them and be a burden to them second with an equitable independent 60s plan You're free to live anywhere. You please we've taken a pretty little place down in the Valley of Virginia And let me tell you it's true what they say about Dixie. It's wonderful third freedom to do the things you've always wanted to do I've got a couple of bird dogs. I'm training takes time But I got plenty of that since I started getting checks on my independent 60s plan Lot of my friends think I must have made a lot of money to retire like this, but they're wrong You don't have to make a big salary to afford an independent 60s plan That's a fact you don't have to earn big money to begin an equitable independent 60s plan Ask your equitable representative to explain why you probably have a big head start towards independent 60s Because of your social security and the life insurance you already own Often only a small amount of additional insurance is all it's required few dollars a week did it for me friends Why not profit by mr. Peterson's experience phone your equitable society representative without delay or send a postcard Care of this station to the equitable society. That's eq you are TAB le the equitable life assurance society of the United States Now back to the FBI file the mountain murder Some of special agent Taylor's words which you heard a few minutes ago are so important that they warrant repetition Speaking of Carter's ill-advised attempt to find Warren's hideout agent Taylor said Why do some people think all you have to do on this job is have a pocket for your badge While we may applaud Carter's motives and marvel at his courage We can only condemn his foolhardiness bordering on stupidity in going after a criminal Equipped only with good intentions and a gun Your FBI takes this occasion to re-emphasize its oft-repeated advice When a crime is committed reported immediately to your local authorities Then keep your hands off unless requested to do otherwise Tonight's FBI file continues later that afternoon as special agents Taylor and Hart work with foreman Joe Scott searching the mountainside Taylor where's that map Tommy's got it. Yeah, here it is The pilot said he spotted Carter's Jeep There yeah, that's where we are now Well, he might have been a little off. Yeah, that's true. I think we ought to keep moving okay How much more daylight Joe? About two more hours look over there. That's Carter's Jeep. Yeah Must come off that cliff Ever saw one that cracked up. Well, if I'm right about the cliff Carter should be around here close by come on Joe You put any towers up on that cliff. Mm-hmm, then you know the road up there How is it not really a road Taylor more of a trail and it winds past the caves hundreds of them all over the face of the mountain Warren's in one you'll never find them. Why not? Well, most of them are connected like rooms in the railroad flat Take an army to flush hold it Carter. Yeah, it's a bad head Like when he get in a crash you better get him to the doctor quick. I'm afraid it's too late for that Carter's dead Taylor for you. It's your partner. All right, Tommy. All right, Jim. I'm at the hospital Both men died this afternoon Well, that's three for Warren. No word on him yet. No none. Tell me I've been thinking about those caves up in the cliff Warren's up there. He knows you'll have to stay in her for quite a while. Uh-huh. Well to do that He'll need food probably canned food. That's true. I checked at the general store Mrs. Warren shops there once a week She's doing again tomorrow. How does that fit in? Well, she got a usual order last week Now she takes extra rations this time. It'll mean Warren's hiding out in this area Yeah, but Jim if we were right about Carter being ambushed after following her, they'll be doubly careful about that now Yeah, but maybe we can do the job without trying to trail them. I'm having the office rush some special equipment out here See that sure heavy Roy No, his are out in the saddle bags. Oh Roy's getting to be known his pictures all over the village. Ain't no sense to that folks there know him now Yeah, the power company's put up a reward How much? $1,000 seems those two fellers he shot died Thought the word Looks to be clouding up. It is. I better take my coat Why are you going bring Roy's food? I'll stay clear of the trail. Yeah, best if you did Tell Roy about his pictures. Oh, sure. Well, you'll be real, please You're chair over your next summits, will it okay? That does it Are you probably recognize this Joe? It's an aerial photo of the slope. Mm-hmm. It's made before you put up those towers now Would you locate them for us? Can I mark the picture? Yeah? Yeah, go ahead The first one's here on top And they string down this way and how far apart Joe quarter of a mile Number two is here. Yeah, and this would be three. Well, that's all we'll need need for what to spotting Tommy suppose you climb tower one up here. Yeah, sure. Jen Joe will you handle a middleman? Glad to and I'll be up on number three Now the minute either one of you see anybody heading up the hill call it in Oh, those things in the corner are walkie-talkie. We're sure how to work them job Okay, each of us will have one of these copies of The aerial photo And you see the way the pictures divided into squares. Mm-hmm on each square is numbered Now as you spot Mrs. Warren or the old man you call in and tell me which square they're in and I'll market here on the master map I see that way even if you lose them for a while, we'll have a record of which way they've been heading Joe You better take these night glasses. Thanks Now anything else Well, I've got a dozen men we could use and they want to help but just give them one instruction, please Joe Tell them nobody's to follow whoever leaves the Warren house and Joe make that strong with you If the Warrens don't think they're being trailed. There's a good chance. This will work. Okay, let's go We'll show you how to use that walkie-talkie and then hit for the towers I meant Tommy your man's just leaving the house Check square 58. He's writing with both saddlebags bulging. It's probably Roy's food. Yeah 49 back 49 into the brush Lion will bring him to the cave in square 14. Yeah Right Tommy talk to you later Yes, Joe check 36 That means he's double tracking making sure nobody's following this time Tommy You see him check 28. It's clear from there to the top. Okay, Tommy. I'll pick you up and we're moving together Didn't saddlebags. Come on. You like me and up here Roy? Mm-hmm. That's good because it'll be home for quite a spell. Why those two fellas you shot They died. Oh The power company is real mad They can get more men. They put up a thousand dollar reward For me. Uh-huh. Say, well, I couldn't forgot to ask you about what the turkey shoot who won it the pike boy Do man. I wasn't there. I can shoot better than him. Yeah, you prove that There sound like he's glad to see you. Oh my don't move Special agents the FBI you're both under arrest Roy Warren and Wilcooper were tried and convicted in federal court of murder on a government reservation Each received a sentence of life imprisonment as you have heard a physically close surveillance was impossible in this case As you have also heard special agents Taylor and Hart improvised with what materials were available to them and apprehended the criminals That ability to improvise is one of the talents for which the men of your FBI have become justifiably famous Famous throughout the world No two cases are ever exactly alike Probably for the simple reason that no two human beings are perfect duplicates Therefore each investigation calls for its own particular method The need of law enforcement officers for so many different types of knowledge is what has elevated police work to the status of a profession a Profession devoted exclusively to the welfare of you the American people Two final questions on the cost of the equitable societies independent 60s plan for mr. Keating I've never looked into a plan of this type. I always figured they cost me more than I could afford That's a mistake lots of men make They overlook the fact that their social security and the life insurance they already own gives them a big head start towards Independent 60s another thing I'd like to know are these plans flexible if I am earning more money a few years from now Can I increase the amount of my plan many equitable members do exactly that? After all the amount of your independent 60s plan is strictly up to you Your equitable man takes into account both your present income and your future needs He'll be glad to sit down with you at any time or send a postcard care of this station to the equity of the life Assurance society next week.
