THE EDDIE DOLL CASE Rogers. — Check. Doll. — Come on. (Footsteps . . . crowd gets louder . . . sound of motor idling) Throw the bags of money in the back. (Several thuds) Sound the signal. . . . Everybody get in. (Horn two long blasts) Here come the rest of the gang. . . . (Car door slams) Step on it, Buck. Sound. — Roar of motor up strong and fade out. Colonel. — As I recall, Dr. Simon, that million dollar robbery was the biggest bank robbery ever staged in this country. Please tell our Palmolive Shave Cream listeners what happened next. Simon. — At that time. Colonel, bank robbery was not under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but the Lincoln, Nebraska, authorities asked the F.B.I. to furnish them with what information it could. On September 19, 1930, Inspector Haynes of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was in his private office in Washington, and I want you to see how a large organization operates in gathering complete information about a criminal. . . . Sound. — Door opens and closes. (Fade in) Dennison. — You sent for me. Inspector Haynes. Haynes. — Dennison. This bank robbery in Lincoln, Nebraska, is the cleanest bank job ever done in this country. Dennison. — There isn’t a clue. . . . Haynes. — Not one . . . hut . . . we’ve got to find one. Now I’ve got here a complete report of how the robbery was executed. I want to check the modus operandi of this gang. Dennison. — Every musician has a definite individual musical touch. . . . Every painter has his own style. . . . Every criminal has his own individual approach to a crime. Haynes. — Yes, Dennison. We know there are some dozen gangs of bank robbers in the Middle West. . . . We know some recent gangs have been broken up. . . . Dennison. — You mean this robbery may have been committed by a leader who had his schooling from some gang that’s already been caught ? 373
