Thanks a bunch Seagull. That name of that guy is too common, and I was going to just see what happened to him, but I think it would be likely too hard. By the way, did you see the term, 'prowl car' in the one article? Same phrase used by Z-how common was that phrase?

I was getting a kick out of the wording in the articles! This guy was a thug, bandit, robber and terrorist. Prowl car was something that was common back then apparently, I've seen it in my older detective magazines along with the word Clew. I don't care how old I get, nobody better call me a matron like the woman in the article was called!

What the heck is a matron anyway? ha

I remember one article I read mentioned an "elderly" women of about 45 years old. Yike!
