Surprise witness weakens an alibi in bank robbery case
In Wichita on March 21 AP reports a surprise prosecution witness testified that Homer Binkley and Burton Phillips did not provide a solid alibi. Harold McGee drove Phillips’ cab the day of the Chandler National Bank robbery in Lyons Kansas, while Phillips claimed to have driven his own cab. The testimony followed defense rest and a judge overruled a subpoena issue. Hostages were released unharmed after a $2,094 raid. The King of Siam reportedly prefers trains to his throne in an adjacent World-Herald note.
