Early on St. Patrick's Day in 1962, an armed robber snatched $363 from the Diamond Cab Co. in Baltimore. Hearing cries of "Holdup," two cabbies trailed the gunman to 2111 Cocoa Lane and called police to the house. Mrs. Bennie Joe Hayden let them in; upstairs they found her husband undressed, in bed. One cop found a pistol and a shotgun in a toilet water tank; another found Hayden's clothes in a washing machine. Though the loot was never found, a robbery eyewitness and the pursuing cab drivers identified Hayden's clothes, which were deemed...
When Ray Marcus got wind several weeks ago of a photographic study "disproving" the existence of a second Kennedy assassin (seen as a white blotch that resembled a gunman atop a station wagon), he instantly telephoned the authors of the study, a corporation called ITEK. He told them he was just a half-hour away from their offices in Lexington and was prepared to show them another possible assassin further to the right in the same picture.

During the 1963 party, Russo testified, Ferrie paced up and down, throwing out ideas about "triangulation of crossfire," the need for more than one gunman in the assassination attempt, and the probability that "one of those there on the scene would be a kind of scapegoat-one had to be sacrificed."

...When Gunman Dana Nash was tried in 1962 for killing a Chicago union official, the key witness against him was his nephew, William Triplett, who had helped him commit the murder. Nash knew that a prison psychiatrist had once diagnosed his nephew as "a true psychopath." To impeach Triplett's credibility, Nash asked the trial judge to order a psychiatric examination. The judge refused. After Nash received a sentence of 99 to 150 years, he appealed on the ground, among others, of this alleged error. By definition, he argued, a psychopath is a liar and "unworthy of belief...
When Ileto took over, no fugitive on the wanted list was considered more dangerous than "Commander Oscar," the pseudonym for Ricardo Ignacio, a shadowy gunman who was Huk chief tain in six towns in Pampanga and Tarlac provinces and also one of the Huks' most feared "enforcers." The government credited Oscar with at least 25 assassinations and abductions in recent months; Oscar himself openly bragged that he had led the ambush that killed the Huk-fighting mayor of Candaba last July...
