Description: Similar photograph appears with the article, "Bandit Raid Told By Man," Los Angeles Times, 28 Dec 1935: A1.
Moffat sits at a table with an ashtray, scars visible on his face while an unidentified person out of the camera's lens examines a notepad.
Moffat was driving a delivery of $2612 of the racing association's money to a bank when a bandit stepped into his sedan and forced him to drive to Washington and Victoria avenue where two other men demanded the keys to a compartment where the money was stored. Then the first bandit forced him to drive to Hollywood Hills, where the robbers threw acid in Moffat's face and pepper into his eyes.
