burg - the Farmers State Bank
was robbed. We worked all night
on this job.
13. Three jailed, one from Cu-
ero for investigation of the bank
robbery, one for fighting, and
one for disturbing the peace.
14. I took the four bank em-
ployees to Houston to try to
identify the bank robber by look-
ing at pictures in the police sta-
tion.
15. I went to Sealy working on
the bank case and returned to
La Grange where I got the tip
that led me to Giddings, and
where we got our man identified.
Mr. Bucek, Mr. Farek, and the
two ladies came to Giddings and
positively identified the picture
of the man over there as the rob-
ber. We watched his house all
night. One jailed for investigation
16. We caught a man in San
Antonio that the Grand Jury had
indicted, and I sent Lawrence af-
ter him.
17. Early this morning I was
called to Giddings. They thought
they saw the bank robber go
through. We set up road blocks
again and searched all morning,
but found nothing. Just as I got
back to La Grange, the FBI cal-
led me stating that they had
caught the robber in San Anto-
nio. I took off to San Antonio
and stayed there and questioned
him until late at night, and also
took a statement from him. While
I was gone the deputies jailed two
men here, one for theft of a watch
and the other was one the Grand
Jury indicted for theft.
18. Early this morning I went
over in the Weimar and Sheridan
area and searched all day for the
pistols, camera, and bonds the
bank robber told me he had
thrown away under a bridge. We
did not find them.

Prison Farm and returned a pri-
