Life sentence for Lloyd Grable in Fletcher bank case
Lloyd Grable, an Oklahoma City mechanic, was sentenced to life imprisonment after a second district court trial for the August 1933 attempted bank robbery in Fletcher in which 18 shots were fired but no one was hurt and no money taken. Four accomplices had pleaded guilty and were given 20 years. The first death sentence was reversed by the criminal court of appeals.
