Crime-of-t he-Week
Crime-of-the-Week
Four crooks drove up to the Crookston, Minn. county jail one early morning last week, alighted from their delivery truck. Skillfully they slugged the night jailer, then the day jailer, then the day jailer's visiting friend, locked them up with tire tape on their eyes and mouths. Then the raiders looked about for loot. First they chose the things they liked best, several bottles of confiscated liquor. Next they chose the things which they needed most: 8500 from the safe, rifles, pistols, a machine-gun, 500 rounds of ammunition. Then they chose the things which would be most helpful to them in business: 20 seized slot machines valued at $125 and containing $500 in nickels & dimes. With these articles neatly packed in their truck, the Crookston crooks drove away. Hours later the jailers & friend were let out of a padded cell by a woman prisoner who wanted to know what it was all about.
