They stole $2775,395.12. Even not accounting for inflation
that's a nice piece of change. It could have been more. The
the gang left a box behind that had $800,00 in unmarked
bills. With eleven days left to go on the statute of
limitations a gang member who felt he had been cheated
informed. Otherwise they would have gotten away with
it.
It was an eleven man gang. I can visualize George V Higgins'
characters being the members. When I was a kid I saw some of
the movie being filmed.It was outside the old Charles St
Jail, which, continuing the city's contrasts, overlooked the
world famous Mass General Hospital. Mark
