Richmond, Virginia (2014)

From FB:

“Then on March 8, 1934, Ewell M. Huband was driving a Federal Reserve Bank mail truck over a little-used bridge beside Broad Street Station (now the Science Museum of Virginia). Two parked cars blocked his way. Five men leaped out, opened the rear doors of the truck and began shooting. Huband slumped over the steering wheel, dead. The robbers fled with sacks of canceled checks and worthless mail.”

DMV Drive is where the old trestle used to be that connected Broad Street to the trains behind Broad Street Station. It was torn down in 1974.

Gangsters Walter Legenza, 41, a cold-hearted killer with reptilian blue eyes, and Robert Mais, a 29-year-old bootlegger with a boyishly frank face, were arrested, but later escaped from the Richmond City Jail in a brazen shoot out in which Richmond police officer William Toot was killed and two others were injured. Both Leguenza and Mais were executed at the Virginia Penitentiary less than a year later after being finally recaptured.“

And the Democrats in Virginia just abolished the death penalty…
