One died on the spot,
the other managed to reach the street.
1:03:04
He died shortly afterward.
1:03:07
The two men are Joseph
Roscoe Adams and George Riche.
1:03:11
Both had long criminal records.
1:03:13
The vigilante himself
may have been wounded.
1:03:17
The actions of a vigilante,
lawless as they may be...
1:03:21
... seem to be giving others
a new attitude toward crime.
1:03:26
Instead of allowing themselves
to be mugged, a few are fighting back.
1:03:31
Mrs. Alma Lee Brown
today successfully defended herself...
1:03:35
... against two muggers
with an unusual weapon.
1:03:38
- Tell us, how did you drive them off?
- With a hatpin.
1:03:44
- You ever seen a hatpin?
- I can't say that I have.
1:03:49
That's what we used to use
to hold our hats on with.
1:03:53
I ain't got no gun
like this vigilante fellow.
1:03:57
But I went to my closet,
and everybody better look out for me.
1:04:02
Because I been robbed
too many times. And I've had enough.
1:04:07
The men building this skyscraper
made a citizen's arrest today.
1:04:12
Andrew McCabe, a foreman,
will tell you.
1:04:15
Me and my crew was working
down in the hole.
1:04:18
One of the boys yelled down, "There's
a mugging. " So we come out...
1:04:23
... and we caught this guy and
roughed him up before the police came.
1:04:29
The hospital reports the man
had broken arms and cracked ribs.
1:04:34
No kidding? Jeez, the poor guy
must have fell down.
1:04:38
Walking distance from D'Agostino's...
1:04:41
...two blocks across,
six blocks uptown and downtown.
1:04:45
That's how far I'd be willing
to walk to a market.
1:04:49
Good. Very good, Miss Chamitti.
1:04:52
12 families within this area suffered
a death in the past three months...
1:04:57
...from mugging, stabbing,
shooting, assault.
