Carol, I'm left at the edge of my screen. Do tell more about your grandfather and Crowley. Charles My Grandfather was a police officer in Nassau County, NY (on Long Island) on May 6, 1931, he was training a new rookie when they spotted a car parked on a dead-end street. He walked up to the car and told the couple to break it up and move on. As he walked away he realized that the young man looked familiar, he had seen him on a wanted poster. He walked back to the car to get a better look, Crowley started shooting, Grandpa drew his gun but it jammed & fell into the car, Crowley picked it up and managed to fire a few more shoots after he had unloaded his gun. The rookie panicked after he called in the shooting and took off. Crowley was cornered in an apartment in NYC, he was tried in Oct 1931 & convicted of 1st degree murder, he was electrocuted the following March (I believe) at Sing Sing. Tow Gun Crowley was a Al Capone want to be, who lived a short tragic life, the girl in the car with him was 15 years old and testified against him at his trial. I was given a box of papers by my Aunt when I started asking family history questions, I was able to fill in more details using the NY Times at my local library, the whole story was printed in the Times. My Grandmother was left with 4 small children, my Grandfather Fred Hirsch was only 31 when he died. My Father received his father's badge when joined the police department after WW2 and my Brother received the same badge when he joined the department in 1969. I am sure you could google Two Gun Crowley online if you would like to read more. Thanks, Carol L. Heap FL
