Killing a Man No Vay To Gain
Fame, Chicago Holdup Hero Says

found himself a hero overnight,
ftut for Ed, it was a sleepless
niffht.
"Killing a man is no way to
3in fame," he said in his Irish
Drogue. "I didnt sleep a wink
the ni;it after it happened."
It 'was dui;n? the noon rush
when the bandit walked up to
the cashier's raze of Mrs. Mary
Merritt, 21- in the Chicago Fed

The downtown office was jam
med. Ed Vyzral, 63, was on duty as
a guard. Hands folded, he smiled
his Irish smile at old customers.
Before he retired and took the
guard job three years ago, big
Ed had been a Chicago police
man for 30 years. And he never
had to fire a shot in anger.
Experience Counted
But when he time came he
made it count
Thomas Malev, first floor man
ager, spotted Mary Mcrritt's si
lent alarm light signal and
strode over to Vyzral.
"I think there's a holdup at
cage 9," he said.
"When I got there Mary was
smiling a big wide smile," Ed
said. "So I 'igured it was no
holdup.
"I rapped the guy on the
shoulder and asked, "what's go
ing on here' He turned and
fired twice. Both times the gun
misfired, and by the grace of
the good Lord I'm alive today."
Maybe Ed should have ap
proached wi'.h his gun drawn,
but there were two women at a
stamp machine behind the ban
dit, directly in Eda line of fire.
Sick and Shaky
"I backed away and ducked
behind a post," Vyzral said. "The
guy ducked behind a counter. I

why don't you give up?"
I dasn't f re any more, be

are closer to death.
Then the guy leaned out with
his gun in his hand to take a
shot. I hit him in the shoulder
and there was a funny look on
his face. He 'ell and I fired two
more, one in the chest and one
in the head.
"I wasn't s.-ared. But when it
was over, my knees were a little
shaky. And the thought of kill-

'Could Hare Been You'
Ed, a genial giant of a man,
was always thinking of the "by
standers" dur.ng the 30 years he
was a traffic cop and something
of a landmark on that downtown
corner.
Once he saved a deaf woman
from being run down by a fire
truck. Another time he caught a
bandit without drawing his pis
tol. Now he was a real hero. His
phone jangled until midnight.
Old police buddies and impor
tant people calling to congratu
late. But Ed's wife wept. '
"It could hive been you," she
said.
"It's no way to gain fame," he
said.
