Robber With Car Tied to Cleburne Linked to Bank Heist
Dallas AP reports detectives tied a missing man to a bank robbery after crediting a Fort Worth employer’s keys found in his car. Leonard Abbey, 38, a former employee, was killed during the heist at Texas Bank & Trust Co. in Fort Worth. Police later located the car belonging to Waller, 57, of Cleburne, whose absence triggered a police search. The probe suggests Abbey reached Fort Worth by bus from El Paso and that Waller vanished Monday, with authorities pursuing the link between the two men amid the bank attack.

Parents Pleading For Life Of Son
A University of Houston professor and wife urged clemency for their 23 year old adopted son Robert Freeman who faces execution for the 1957 killing of Sandra Maynald, 17, with an appeal citing alleged insanity at the time. Freeman, set to die July 22, is believed to be near 18 at the time of the crime. The family would accept life in prison if a commutation by Gov. Connally is granted, as the Pardons Board weighs a recommendation to the governor.
