21 June 1933 · the name-trap, closed on the record
Every archive search for this town's crime returns another town's robbery, and this section closes the trap formally. On 21 June 1933 the Dillinger gang robbed a bank in New Carlisle — New Carlisle, Ohio, in Clark County, the gang's first bank job. The Indiana town of the same name, in St. Joseph County, has no part in it: not the bank, not the gang, not a stop on the route that any record states. The searches made for this section returned the Ohio robbery under this town's name repeatedly, together with the Ohio town's Korea posts, its VFW post and its Legion post — a standing lesson in the two towns' confusion, which this build corrects wherever it finds it. For the Indiana town's own record in the gangster era, the finding is negative at the strength of the searches made: no bank robbery, no Dillinger connection, and no crime of the era is attributed to New Carlisle, Indiana, in the county histories' successors, the appellate record, or the web record searched. If the era touched the town, it did not leave a record this build could reach, and nothing prints.
