Note: This story is from the Springfield Leader of July 29, 1930, and is much more detailed than the story that ran in the Jerico Optic. So far as I know, the murderer was never caught. The story has the name of the robbed store wrong – it as actually the A. E. Hudson store. Thanks for catching that, Blackhawk Barber. The photo and capti0n below are from Kim Jeffries.
