Hale Center man sees last of band of fakers in jail
J Frank Norfleet of Hale Center Texas spent four years tracking men who fleeced him of 40000 dollars in Fort Worth in 1919. The last of the bunco men, M P Hunt also known as W B Spencer, is held on narcotics charges and to stand trial. Norfleet identified Hunt in Salt Lake City after detectives linked him to the man who stole Norfleet’s money. Norfleet plans to return to Texas after a two to three day stay. Five other defendants in the stock scam have varied outcomes including two in prison, one acquitted, one dead by suicide, and one jailed. Norfleet has long pursued the swindlers across the U S and beyond.
