Notice his Scars from this one and his scars from the first one.





While he was in a car heading to Prison he decided to jump from the car which ended up giving him a fractured skull. I wonder if he was actually trying to escape and not kill himself.

Herbert was married to Maxine Romona King 1903-1983

Herbert had one last robbery in 1950


The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime: or at least that's the saying. I would of never returned and having taken $12,000 what are you spending it on? He had Grand theft auto and a total of 14 counts of Grand Larceny. 

Herbert died 2 Dec 1963 in Los Angeles, CA. As far as I know he had no children.
