Clergyman Clifton Arrested In Auto Theft Case And Escape Rumors
Details show Clifton, a Kingman clergyman, jailed on a charge of stealing a Veedersburg motorist’s lighting tanks and a Kingman resident’s vehicle. Bond set at $300 and he was released, with marriage plans to Miss Olcie Hesler postponed indefinitely. He later faced a new charge regarding a Woodmar automobile taken from a city park and found at his brother’s home near Florea. Hesler supported him at first, but the shock left both in poor health. Clifton resigned as pastor and planned to seek law work in Connersville, with possible later clerical employment. Prison life at the state foe See brought little unrest among other inmates. Frank’s remarks have been sparse, limited to routine Q and A with officials and reporters.
