FBI Arrests Four Men For Theft Of Oil Maps
Four men were arrested in New York and Texas on charges of transporting stolen top secret oil exploration maps across state lines. The maps, valued at millions, were allegedly stolen from Gulf Oil Corp offices in Pittsburgh to fund gambling debts to New York racketeers. Arrested were Odie Richard Seagraves, Emanuel Lester, John Marvin Lemvia, and Edward Lieberman. If convicted they face up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $10,000 each. Gulf officials said the thefts were linked to lands gambled away by wildcat operators after Gulf noticed maps missing and lands surveyed by Gulf being acquired before leases could be placed.
