THE TAKING OF PATTY HEARST ON THIS DAY
On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old granddaughter
of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped
from her apartment in Berkeley, Cal, by three armed strangers.
Her fiancé, Steven Weed, was beaten and tied up along with a
neighbor who tried to help.
Witnesses reported seeing a struggling Hearst being carried
away blindfolded, and she was put in the trunk of a car.
Neighbors who came out into the street were forced to take
cover after the kidnappers fired their guns to cover their
escape.
Newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was identified by the FBI
as taking part in the robbery of a San Francisco bank in this
April 1974 photo.
Patricia Campbell Hearst will be 71 years young on
February 20th.

A MOVING TRAIN ROBBERY ON THIS DAY IN 1866
On October 6, 1866, the brothers John and Simeon Reno staged
the first train robbery in American history, making off with
$13,000 from an Ohio and Mississippi railroad train in Jackson
County, Indiana.
Of course, trains had been robbed before the Reno brothers’
holdup. But these previous crimes had all been burglaries of
stationary trains sitting in depots or freight yards.
The Reno brothers’ contribution to criminal history was to stop
a moving train in a sparsely populated region where they could
carry out their crime without risking interference from the law
or curious bystanders.
The gang was broken up by the lynching’s of ten of its members
by vigilante mobs in 1868.
