Los Angeles’ famous Toed Inn in 1939, after it was moved out of Santa Monica Canyon near the beach -- it had been damaged in the flood of 1938 and moved up to Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood. Here's a photo of how it looked when it was in its original location in the canyon when it was an open side stand:

“$5 Hold-Up of Hamburger Sends Trio to Penitentiary,” The Globe and Mail. February 12, 1940. Page 30. --- David McConnell Given Four Years, Two ‘Conspirators’ Get Three --- 2 To Reformatory --- (No. 3 Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Gullen.) Four years in Kingston penitentiary was the sentence meted out by Magistrate Gullen in No. 3 police court today to David McConnell (TOP). He was previously convicted of the armed robbery of a Queen St. E. hamburger store Jan. 2. McConnell was also charged jointly with William Oakley [MIDDLE] and Gordon Richardson [BOTTOM], with conspiring to commit a robbery of the same restaurant. On this charge McConnell was also given four years to run concurrently with his sentence for armed robbery. Oakley and Richardson were each given three years in penitentiary. In connection with the armed robbery of a grocery store on Cambridge Ave., Nov. 24, Richardson and Oakley appeared jointly for sentence with Alex Brisbois. They got $20. On this charge the court decided, Richardson and Oakley were each to be given three years in penitentiary, this term to be concurrent with their term for conspiracy, while Brisbois, who had a previous good record, was given two years less a day definite and six months indefinite in reformatory.

Jack Wilson, taximan who drove McConnell to and from the hamburger robbery, was also given two years less a day definite and six months indefinite in reformatory. Asked Reformatory Term B. J. Spencer Pitt urged that McConnell be given a reformatory term as he was his mother’s only support.

‘I understand that angle of the situation, but I can’t give too much weight to the argument,’ his worship replied. He added, addressing the accused. ‘You were determined that your demands should be complied with.’ McConnell had nothing to say on his own behalf, but told the court Wilson, the taxi driver, had ‘absolutely no knowledge of the hold-up.’ Sentencing Brisbois, Magistrate Cullen stated: ‘I had thought of sending Brisbois to penitentiary because he held the gun in the hold-up on Cambridge Ave., but he has no record and perhaps he was more or less influenced by the others.’
