Howard Hyman Davelman was born 10 May 1912 Either in New York City some documents have Zlatopol, Kircvchrads Ka, Ukraine, to David Davelman (1884-1960) and Dora Slotorefsky (1885-1925).
Howard was a colorful character. Living in the roaring 20's with Jazz and Blues screaming from the speakeasy's and the smell of cigar smoke filling the room. It was the time of the mobster's and bank robbers who would pull off daring robberies and get away with cash and spend it on the Dames and booze. Cars and new hats and slick suits.
Howard lived in an Era that made it too easy to be a criminal.
His record here is from 1929-1934
Four hour after the trial they were at the prison finding their cells at Eastern State Prison.
Thw get-away car looked simular to this one.
Some weapons from the 1930's bank robbers used.
Some bank robbery statistics:
California recorded the largest number of bank robberies with 805, followed by Texas (464), Ohio (263), and Florida (243). North Dakota had the nation's best record for bank robberies with only two, Wyoming came in second with three, followed by South Dakota and Vermont, each with four reported bank robberies.
In 1930's based on the state's sentencing guidelines, a person with no previous or a minimal criminal record convicted of an unarmed robbery could get between one and three years in prison. In the case of an armed robbery conviction, the sentencing guidelines recommend between five and 71 2 years in prison.
9 Million was stolen (which translates to $21.6 Million today). $5 Million of it was stolen in cash while $875,000 was in Jewels and at the time of the crime made it the largest cash robbery to happen in American History. The heist inspired three films: 10 Million Dollar Getaway, the Big Heist, and Goodfellas.
I did not find a death date for Howard Davelman, or a grave site. No wife and no children.
What a time that must of been, as long as you didn't get shot.
