On July 24, 1964, twenty-four-year-old Matthew Kerry Smith disguised himself with a mask and a Beatle wig, hoisted a semi-automatic rifle, then held up a bank in North York, Ontario. The intelligent but troubled son of a businessman and mentally ill mother, Smith was a navy veteran with a young Indigenous wife and a hazy plan for violent revolution. Outside the bank, Smith was confronted by Jack Blanc, a former member of the Canadian and Israeli armies, who brandished a revolver. During a wild shootout, Blanc was killed, and Smith escaped -- only to become the object of the largest manhunt in the history of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. Dubbed "The Beatle Bandit," Smith was eventually captured, tried, and sentenced to hang. His murderous rampage had tragic consequences for multiple families and fuelled a national debate about the death penalty, gun control, and the insanity defence."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 600 10 $a Smith, Matthew Kerry. 650 0 $a Bank robberies $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 650 0 $a Murder $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 650 7 $a Bank robberies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00826782 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 651 7 $a Ontario $z Toronto. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205798 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hendley, Nate. $t Beatle Bandit. $d Toronto : Dundurn Press, 2021 $z 9781459748118 $z 9781459748118 $w (OCoLC)1258972095 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031322.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220304010125.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220104013831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57CA9F1E6D2E11ECB3EC20C24FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
