Cst Maurice Demonceau was standing near a soda fountain at St. Juste and Notre Dame.
Restaurant owner Albert Pitchot told him to look across the street.
Two men with masks and dark glasses were hiding in a car. It was clearly a bank robbery in progress.
The problem was that Demonceau didn't have his gun. So he went to his nearby home to fetch his weapon.
The wheelman motored off, leaving his two buddies inside.
Two cops, Nelson Paquin and Paul Emile Duranleau came to the scene to deal with the cornered criminals.
Brothers Douglas and Donald Perreault gunned them down dead.
Nelson Paquin, who lived at 1475 Overdale. Paquin was hit five times.
Duranleau four times. Both were shot in the heart.
The getaway car was a 1941 Cadillac, driven by Noel Cloutier, 24, was cornered in a laneway between Aird and Sicard.
Cops blamed lax bail rules for the killing and those were tightened within days. The brothers remained on the lam for a while but were eventually caught in Taber Alberta. All three were hanged in Montreal on March 11, June 17 and Nov. 25, 1949.
