Modern Dick Turpin Carl Sutherland a Los Angeles outlaw
The Los Angeles case of Carl D Sutherland alias Joseph Palmer alias Jack Ames and others unfolds like a pulp tale. His autobiography written from the end of a life of crime traces a boyish bandit rise to desperado status, his capture near Oswego and Lamar, and a final self chosen end in the shadow of a police case. He writes to a detective guardian confessing motives and hoping for his wife Betsy’s protection. The piece recalls Jesse James era bravado, the vigilante rope, and a city mourning a brave officer while Sutherland seeks a reform that time finally destroys.
