Thomas George Sanders testified as state witness in Cedar Rapids for Russell Case in a Springville Creamery safe theft trial. Sanders recounted how he and Case entered the creamery, wheeled the safe to a trailer, moved it to Indian Creek Hill, and pried open the safe with a chisel. He claimed a $17 share and noted Case’s presence in the car, with tools kept in Sanders’ garage, while the defense objected to details of loot division.
