"The NATIONAL FBI TOP 10 FUGITIVE COUNTDOWN"

The FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" program began on March 14, 1950, in
cooperation with the nation's news media.  Of the 366 fugitives apprehended,
109 of those were a result of citizen cooporation.  FBI Director William H.
Webster said,"The FBI owes a great debt to the media and the public for their
continued cooporation and support of this vital program".

At the time of the Nashville police murder, Herron was a suspected member of a
gang that was allegedly passing stolen money orders.
