Pulpit Confession Ties Topeka Bank Heist Case
In Topeka Kansas Al Johnson a 23 year old sheet metal worker confessed to a Loyal church robbery four years ago and a small bank theft. He said he acted to help find two accomplices and planned to keep his role secret until a Sunday service at Seward Avenue Baptist Church. Johnson claimed leniency by saying his aim now is to spread the gospel and tell youth how crime leads to downfall. He was released on $5000 bond as authorities seek the older man and another participant from the May 17 1948 Hoyt bank raid that yielded about $1000. Johnson said he did not know the men believed dead in a car crash and he described his involvement as driven by influence from an unidentified younger man.
