Robber Captured and Part of Loot Recovered
A sequel to last week's Cadwell Toggery Shop robbery and Attorney Jordan’s auto theft ends with Jack Dalton in custody at Holbrook. Dalton, captured at Springerville and brought by Constable Tremmell, held Jordan’s car and about half the shop loot. He claims aid from a Canadian soldier linked to a murder near Seligman and a suspect in Visalia, California. County Attorney notes the stolen Peerless car and two men crossed the line before the Holbrook raid, refuting Dalton’s accomplice claim. Dalton has persisted with his account. One jail escapee Adele Thomas recaptured at Gallup returns to county custody.
