- Harry_Brunette abstract "Harry Walter Brunette (August 19, 1911 – February 19, 1972) was an American bank robber and Depression-era outlaw. He was declared a national "public enemy" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation when he and partner Merle Vandenbush robbed a series of banks in the New York City area and kidnapped New Jersey state trooper William A. Turnbull during 1936. The New York City Police Department managed to find Brunette and Vandenbush hiding out in an apartment on West 102nd Street on December 14, 1936. Upon locating Brunette, the NYPD contacted the FBI letting them know his whereabouts. Although this was done as a matter of professional courtesy, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover personally led a group of federal agents to take charge of the area.At the time, the FBI was under heavy criticism from the press due to its overly-aggressive and strong handed tactics resulting in the shooting deaths of unarmed suspects and innocent bystanders. It was hoped by Hoover that he could use the situation to set up a "personal arrest" by his second-in-command Clyde Tolson for propaganda purposes, such as Hoover's own staged arrest of Alvin Karpis in 1934.Almost from the start, there were problems between the NYPD and the FBI. It was agreed that raid would take place that afternoon at 2:00 pm, when it was believed that Brunette would be asleep. However, federal agents moved ahead with the raid and stormed the apartment building at midnight. Confused police detectives, still on stakeout, watched as the raid began 14 hours ahead of schedule. When police officers at the scene questioned Hoover, according to the New York Times, the director "merely shrugged his shoulders."Within a few minutes, when a federal agent unsuccessfully attempted to shoot the lock off his door, Brunette was alerted and immediately returned fire. Gas grenades were tossed into his room, inadvertently starting a fire, and the New York City Fire Department was called. The arrival of firefighters added to the confused scene illustrated by a reporter from Newsweek who described an incident between a firefighter and a federal agent:Brunette eventually surrendered, and Tolsen was photographed leading him away in his first arrest of his career. In their haste to arrest Brunette, federal agents missed Vandenbush, who was easily able to escape amid the chaos. The following morning, NYPD Commissioner Lewis Valentine and New Jersey Police Commissioner issued public statements criticizing the FBI's breaking of its agreement with police and putting lives at risk while allowing Vandenbush to escape. Hoover dismissed these objections, which he referred to as "unjustified and petty criticism". When Vandenbush was captured by New York authorities two months later, the fugitive claimed he had been on his way to meet with Brunette but was warned off by the obvious presence of the FBI. He also said that at one point during the raid he was close enough to "tap J. Edgar Hoover on the shoulder."".
