Al Brady was an armed robber and murderer in the 1930s and became
the FBI's Public Enemy #1. The crime spree of Brady and his gang
brought them from the south and midwest to Maine. A hardware store
owner in Bangor became suspicious when Brady requested a large
supply of ammunition and paid with an equally large amount of cash,
and notified police. The FBI was waiting in ambush for them when
they arrived to pick up the ammo. The rest is history, as on
October 12, 1937, Brady and an accomplice were killed in a hail of
bullets in broad daylight in downtown Bangor. This spectacular
public gun-battle has become an integral part of Maine lore. Now,
historian Trudy Irene Scee tells the story, including Brady's
growing up in Indiana, his criminal exploits, and what brought he
and his cohorts to Maine.
