Youths’ Mothers Endure After Butte Robbery Suspects
Two Missouri Mines juniors and campus leaders faced a rapid fall from grace after a Monday morning holdup of George Forsythe and Mr and Mrs Reigger in Butte. They arrived by train, then left by car after the chase, suffering injuries and awaiting several weeks of cell time. Parents seek mercy while warden Middleton notes the boys are dutiful prisoners as they adjust to prison routine. Parole chances exist after half the minimum term, possibly six years more unless clemency occurs.
