Bank Robberies

The Crime Tests — Legs 76 to 80

Legs 76 · 77 · 78 · 79 · 80 · each test printed

Both banks were tested whole against their own records: charter No. 516 failed insolvent in 1930 (its appellate footprint the township recovering its own deposits, Eastburn , 1935), and Central State merged unassisted in 1982 …

The gang era around this ground: the course mapped, and the one job that is not here

The gangs robbed around this county all through 1933–34; on this ground they left a funeral and a court action, and no job. The banked thread, restated at its strength: after Harry Pierpont's execution on 17 October 1934, his…

The only paper crime in this bank's record was tested as a series, and it is not one. The banked facts (lk-rem-crime): on 8 August 1969 Perry Moses tendered Indianapolis diamond merchant William P. Nicholas a forged $45,000 check…

The shape of the record: statute, scale, deaths — the robbery leg's close

§ 2113; Indiana robbery statutes; the banked bank and press record whole

The close the leg owed, stated as totals: robberies, none; law, stated; deaths, none. Scale: Lakeville, Indiana has no bank robbery of record at any date, and no credit-union robbery — both banks tested whole against their own…
