James Gang Blamed for North Alabama Bank Heists
FBI sources say a Chattanooga based James Gang of about 10 members staged more than a dozen North Alabama bank robberies over two years. The group used split teams with one driver and two robbers in masks, often returning money to Chattanooga, complicating identification and prosecutions. The Decatur First National Bank Austin branch was robbed on Feb 27 1970 for about 24000 dollars.

Baxley Denies Role in Mutual Writ Action
Alabama Atty. Gen. Bill Baxley said a suit filed in Morgan County Circuit Court targets Mutual Savings. Baxley claims he did not authorize the filing and that his name appears on the suit only due to an error. Louie Roussel III and his father, major stockholders, defend the firm’s operations and oppose the charges as damaging to the company’s reputation and continued growth. The case involves an insurance commissioner inquiry and a request to restrain company officials pending review.
