I.—"l’d haVe choked him to death then lad I ever thought he would grow up to be a gunman,” wailed Mrs. i>ora Diamond as she pointed to a baby picture of her son, Morris Barlow Diamond, taken when he was thre*e months old. I Morris, 27, and his brother, Joseph, 21, are in jail, charged with harder m connection with the shooting to death of two bank mes lengers and escaping with $43,000.
