-Lord Dafydd Wigley -is still in Chicago... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-..tracing the history of -his third cousin who was a gangster. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
-Llewelyn Morris Humphreys -was born in Montgomeryshire. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
-He was known throughout the -criminal world as Murray The Hump. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
-As a boy, I remember watching -The St Valentine's Day Massacre... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
-..a film about the shooting -of Al Capone's enemies... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
-..on North Clark Street, Chicago, -behind me. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-Little did I think back then that -a Welshman was involved in it... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
-..let alone that there was -a family connection. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
-Even if there was -blood on his hands... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-..Dafydd Wigley's relative -and partner of Al Capone... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-..was no ordinary gangster. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-There's plenty of evidence to -suggest he was a heartless killer. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
-But he commanded respect -in Chicago and across America. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
-The government enforced -the prohibition of alcohol in 1920. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
-It was music to the ears -of America's mobsters... | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-..one of whom was Murray The Hump. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
-They formed gangs -to supply illegal alcohol... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-..to a thirsty nation. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-This provided the basis on which -the mobsters built their fortune. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
-They went on to control -trade unions and the film industry. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
-They even built casinos -in the Nevada desert. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-They sought to bribe judges, -policemen and politicians. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-All these activities were primarily -orchestrated by Murray Humphreys... | 0:02:12 | 0:02:18 | |
-..the son of Bryan Humphreys -and Ann Wigley... | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
-..from Carno and Staylittle in the -serene county of Montgomeryshire. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
-Dafydd Wigley has been -tracing the criminal history... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
-..of the prodigal genius, -Murray The Hump. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-He later moved to Oklahoma... | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-..with wife Clemi -and daughter Llewella... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-..to enjoy a quieter life, -away from the trappings of Chicago. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
-We're in Oklahoma, searching -for Murray Humphreys's family home. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-This is where he came -to escape Chicago. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-This is the home -in which Llewella was raised. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-He owned -a substantial area of land... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-..and it is on that land -that he is buried. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-It's Jay, I guess? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
-It's Jay, I guess? - -Yes, it is. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-Did you have trouble -finding the place? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-It was further than we thought -from Oklahoma City. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-And this is it. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-This is the home itself, is it? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-This is the home itself, is it? - -Yes, it is. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
-This was his haven, -away from the perils of Chicago. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-It was where he could relax. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-Murray Humphreys himself -did much of the building work. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
-But he still continued -to build a gangster empire... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
-..in Chicago and beyond. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-In time, however... | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-..J Edgar Hoover, -Director of the FBI.. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-..declared war on the mob leaders. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-The Top Hoodlum Program -was under way. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-At the top of the list -were the most ruthless gangsters... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-..one of whom -was Murray Llewelyn Humphreys. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-The latest technology was used -to compile evidence against him. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-Hidden microphones -were placed in all his rooms. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
-His conversations were recorded. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-He was followed everywhere. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
-The FBI's -official file on The Hump... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
-..is comprehensively detailed, -containing hundreds of pages... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-..recording his movements -and conversations. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-But The Hump's guile, coupled -with his knowledge of the law... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-..made him a very difficult -and slippery eel to catch. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-He used his legal knowledge -to great effect... | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-..in the Bartenders' Trial of 1940. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-It was as if he was -encouraging the chief witness... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-..who was -testifying against the mob... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-..to give his evidence in court. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-When it came to the final case -and it was time to testify... | 0:05:17 | 0:05:22 | |
-..the witness used -the Fifth Amendment... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-..which defended gangsters -from giving evidence in court... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
-..and prohibited the witness -from saying any more. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
-Consequently, -under the double jeopardy rule... | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-..which Murray Humphreys had -developed to wipe the slate clean... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-..gangsters weren't tried -for the same crimes twice. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-All kinds of accusations -against them were retracted. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
-It wasn't only in the courtroom -that The Hump used his legal skills. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
-He came to the rescue of Joe -Kennedy, father of John F Kennedy. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:10 | |
-During the Prohibition, Joe -had been selling illegal liquor... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-..on another mob's patch, -which was a deadly crime. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-A contract -was taken out on his life. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
-If he hadn't sought -the help of Murray Humphreys... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
-..the Kennedy dynasty's founder -would have been shot... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-..in the same way as any -regular gangster would have been. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
-It was only Murray Humphreys who -had the authority within the mob... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:40 | |
-..to cancel the contract -on Joe Kennedy's life. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-He was only 30 years old -at the time. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-What would have happened to America -if Joe Kennedy had been shot? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
-It's remarkable -that a rogue like Joe Kennedy... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-..was sent to London -by President Roosevelt in 1938... | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
-..as the US Ambassador -to the United Kingdom. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Even more remarkable is the way -in which this Irish Catholic... | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
-..succeeded in getting his son -elected as United States president. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-He wouldn't have succeeded without -the help of Murray and his mob. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
-In 1947, -John Kennedy married Durie Malcolm. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-It ended briefly and shortly after, -he married Jackie Kennedy... | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-..without divorcing his first wife. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-This, of course, was bigamy. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-Murray Humphreys -and his Chicago mob... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-..managed to destroy any record -of his first marriage. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
-Having sorted out -JFK's marital problems... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
-..Murray Humphreys -had problems of his own. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-Clemi filed for divorce in 1957... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-..and he married his mistress, -Jeanne Stacy. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-At 59 years of age, -The Hump was 25 years her senior. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:00 | |
-But he continued, -as he'd always done... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
-..to rely on Clemi's knowledge of -his business affairs and her advice. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
-Although he paid out 60,000 -in a divorce settlement... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-..he still turned to Clemi because -she had a photographic memory. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
-All Murray's business records -were etched on her memory. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
-After Murray married Jeanne Stacy... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-..the pair -spent their winters in Florida. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
-The winter months -are bitterly cold in Chicago. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
-But here the Hump was able -to enjoy sailing and fishing. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
-There were plenty -of criminals here too... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-..not that Murray Humphreys -would openly mingle with their sort. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-Conveniently located -a short distance from Miami... | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-..is the island of Cuba. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-Prior to -the Cuban Revolution in 1959... | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-..gangsters such as Humphreys were -bribing Cuban government officials. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
-Wherever Murray went, -the FBI were in hot pursuit. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-Murray Humphreys made one of his -last public appearances in 1958... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
-..before a legal investigation -into gangster racketeering. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
-With the aid of a walking stick... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-..and dressed in an old coat, -a patch covering one eye... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
-..he muttered unintelligibly -as if he were a senile old man. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:41 | |
-This was all an act, of course. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-He left the court, threw his stick -to one side, his hat to the other... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
-..and went through the bars of -Chicago, celebrating with friends. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-The case was thrown out of court. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-A senile old man couldn't be behind -the mob's exploits in Chicago. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:01 | |
-The truth is, his health -had started to deteriorate. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-Being hounded by the authorities -for years had taken its toll. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
-The FBI's methods -of tapping his conversations... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-..and monitoring his business -affairs became more effective. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-He can be heard gasping -in one taped conversation. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-"They're right on our heels. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-"They know too much." | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-While married to Jeanne Stacy... | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-..Murray Humphreys lived in the most -fashionable building in Chicago. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-An apartment -in the Marina Towers, 55 storeys... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
-..above the city. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
-The 1960 US presidential election -was fast approaching. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:57 | |
-Joe Kennedy turned to Murray -Humphreys and his gangsters... | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
-..to ensure that his son, JFK... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-..would be the next president -of the United States. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |

-# You cast your vote for Kennedy -and a change that's overdue | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |

-Leading up to -the 1960 presidential election... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-..Murray Humphreys moved -to the Hilton Hotel in Chicago. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
-Unbeknown to the FBI, it was there -that he influenced his contacts... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:21 | |
-..across -the length and breadth of America. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
-Trade unionists, -lawyers, politicians. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
-He put pressure on them all -to support Kennedy. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
-Why was Murray Humphreys... | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
-..who had always detested the -Kennedys, so willing to help them? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
-The fact is, the mob had taken -the decision en masse. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-Although he was against the idea, -he accepted the majority's decision. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
-He capitalized on this because -if Kennedy became president... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
-..brother Bobby Kennedy would -reduce the pressure on the mob. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
-JFK was elected president -by a hair's breadth. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
-The result was so close... | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-..that it is fair to say that Murray -Humphreys's efforts were crucial. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-But instead of allowing -the gangsters more freedom... | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
-..the Kennedys broke their promise. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
-The newly-appointed -Attorney General, Bobby Kennedy... | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
-..declared war on the mobs. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
-His aim -was to destroy them completely... | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-..beginning with the leaders. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-Close to the top of his list -was Murray Llewelyn Humphreys. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
-Three years after being elected... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-..in Dallas, Texas, November 1963... | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
-..JFK was assassinated. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Was that the ultimate price -the Kennedys had to pay... | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-..for betraying the gangsters? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-If so, how much did Murray Humphreys -know about the plot? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-On his death bed, -his second wife mentioned... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
-..that he had suggested to her that -he knew of an assassination plot. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
-In the 1930s, Humphreys himself -had been involved in a plot... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-..to assassinate the Chicago mayor -and for the assassin to be shot. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
-In the Kennedy case, -Jack Ruby shot the assassin. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
-At one time, Jack Ruby had worked in -one of Murray Humphreys's companies. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
-Murray Humphreys -was a ruthless criminal... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
-..but who knows -if he was involved in this plot? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-America and the world -were rocked to the core... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-..by the death of JFK. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-The incident would have reminded -The Hump of life's fragility. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-He had already suffered -three heart attacks. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-There is a secret FBI recording -in which he says... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-..that he'd like to retire to Wales. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
-It never came about. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
-But after divorcing Jeanne -in 1964... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
-..he paid his second wife -an alimony of 18,000 a month. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
-He later holidayed in Europe... | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
-..with first wife Clemi -and daughter Llewella. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-He visited Switzerland -where he had bank accounts. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-It was from there that he headed -to Wales for the very first time... | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-..to Castell Farm in Carno, -Montgomeryshire... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-..which was once his father's home. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-Mark Evans, who currently runs -the farm, told Dafydd Wigley... | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
-..that his parents -remember a black hackney cab... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
-..pulling up at Castell Farm -and Murray Humphreys stepping out. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
-He introduces himself... | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-..as this is where -his ancestors were born. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-He said, "Can I have a look -around the house?" | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-The house in those days -was a little bit derelict. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-He walked around -for an hour and a half... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-..looked around the scenery -and said, "Thank you very much." | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-He was polite, a really nice man... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
-..and gave my father's workman -five pounds... | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-..as a thank you -for what he had done. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
-He'd created a good impression. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
-Yes, he was a very pleasant man. -A gentleman. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
-After editing a programme about -Murray The Hump in the 1980s... | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
-..Huw Davies invited Llewella, -the little girl seen here... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-..to Cardiff -to view the completed version. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-Like her father before her, Llewella -had travelled from Switzerland. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:58 | |
-I realized when we brought her -to the studios... | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-..that she was -clutching a bag tightly. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-I'd call it a flight bag. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-A black one about this size. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-We went in -and began watching the film. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
-She was very pleased -because as you know... | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-..she appears often in the film, -talking about her father. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
-She was still -clutching this bag tightly. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-We got into my car -and I said to her... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-.."What have you got there -in your bag? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-"You're taking great care of it." | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
-"Don't worry", she said. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-She unzipped it... | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-..and the bag -was full of hundred-dollar bills. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
-Amazing! | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
-"There's a million dollars -in here," she said. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
-Every year she'd come to Europe -by secretive means... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-..to Switzerland in particular... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-..and withdraw a million dollars... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
-..from her father's account -every year. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-However, Llewella died a pauper -at 57 years of age. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
-She made reckless investments. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-Her father was reputedly worth -10 million dollars. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-Who knows whether Llewella -spent The Hump's entire fortune? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
-Her father -had died 27 years previously. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-He had always enjoyed retiring -to his haven in Oklahoma... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-..and even more so -during his final years. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
-This place -is far removed from Chicago. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-This is a wonderful spot -near Oklahoma. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
-It's situated in the country. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-Murray Humphreys bought three -square miles and built this house. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
-He enjoyed escaping Chicago -to have some peace... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
-..and to avoid -having the police on his tail. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-He did much of the building work -himself and was happy here. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
-The present owners haven't yet got -to grips with overgrown gardens... | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
-..and the redundant -garden furniture... | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
-..where some of America's most -ruthless gangsters came to relax. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
-We're in the middle of Murray -Humphreys's original swimming pool. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
-He used to throw parties here -for his friends. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
-He used to play tricks on them. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-He had silver dollars -cemented to the bottom of the pool. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-People would dive down -and try to lift them. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-He would sit at the side of -the pool and laugh at their expense. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
-It was typical of him -as he was such a prankster. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
-The FBI failed to see -the funny side. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-Even here, -he couldn't escape his past. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-During May 1965 in Chicago... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
-..he was called before -the Federal Grand Jury... | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-..for mob racketeering. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-The Hump disappeared -before the second jury session. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
-The FBI tracked him down in Oklahoma -and escorted him to Chicago. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
-After paying the 100,000 bail, he -went to his flat in Marina Towers... | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-..to await summons -for another court appearance. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-But that didn't happen. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-Murray's death came two years after -Kennedy's assassination in Dallas. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
-Humphreys -was in his flat at the time. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
-When two FBI agents came knocking... | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-..Humphreys -refused to answer at first. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-When he eventually let them in, -he had a gun in his hand. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-This was out of character for him. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-Physically, -he was a fragile 65-year-old. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-The agents disarmed him -and promptly arrested him. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
-He was released once again on bail -and went home to tidy the flat... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
-..after the scuffle -with the agents. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-For a man who was involved in crime -and murder on a grand scale... | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-..it's ironic that vacuuming should -be Murray Humphreys's last act. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
-That night, -his brother Ernest visited... | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-..only to find -Murray Humphreys dead on the floor. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
-It's believed he died from -natural causes - a heart attack. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
-However some claim he had -a small hole behind the ear... | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
-..which suggests someone might -have injected air into his veins. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
-Nevertheless, it was the end -of an era in Chicago's history. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
-Murray Humphreys's body -had been embalmed... | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
-..which made it difficult -for medics... | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-..to examine -the hole behind the ear. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-However the coroner was certain... | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-..that Humphreys -had suffered a fatal heart attack. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
-He was cremated... | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-..and his ashes -were taken to Oklahoma. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-This is Murray Humphreys's -final resting place. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
-He is buried with his wife, Clemi... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-..and his daughter, Llewella. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
-It's a substantial -marble gravestone... | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
-..situated in a remote spot -on what was once his territory. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:28 | |
-He was obviously -an incredibly clever man. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-He managed to survive during a time -when many lost their lives. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
-In the end, he died in his own home. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
-Only 10 people -attended Murray Humphreys's funeral. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
-This funeral was no carnival. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-He wouldn't have wanted that. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
-For more than 40 years -behind the scenes... | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
-..this Welshman influenced -all aspects of American life. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
-From Hollywood to Las Vegas... | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-..and the White House. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
