Story line Tom White and his blonde girlfriend named Burma Adams, go on a crime spree.
The Burma White Case is about the killing of deputy sheriff Cookie Vehar

Most public recording of this episode wrong episode for the title. I had to research since the main characters of most of the episodes under title are two bootleggers and not a guy and his girlfriend. Towards the end after Tom was Killed, Burma Adams states her last name is White and that she married Tom on Friday. Its not the best recording, but considering MOST recordings of this episode that are available in the public domain are titled wrong, i guess we have to accept what we can find. Ive cranked up the volume all I could.

Rudolph Goss "Cookie" Vejar

Deputy Sheriff Cookie Vejar was shot and killed while working undercover at a speakeasy at 260-1/2 West 7th Street in Los Angeles.

Two men entered the establishment at dawn and attempted to rob it. During the robbery, Deputy Vejar drew his revolver and shot and killed one of the suspects. He then exchanged shots with the second suspect, and both men were struck. Deputy Vejar was struck in the mouth and died a short time later.

The second subject was convicted of Deputy Vejar's murder and hanged on February 8th, 1935.

Deputy Vejar was a U.S. Army WWI veteran. He had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for eight years and was assigned to the Sheriff's Headquarters. He was survived by his wife, son, and sister.
