Slick Safe Job Net $4 000 Missing In Morton Burglary
A Morton store burglary left $4 000 to $5 000 cash stolen from a St. Clair Variety safe while 300 silver dollars and bonds were ignored. Texas Ranger Renfrew called it the slickest safe job in days as investigators trace a climber who accessed the roof via a light pole. James St Clair, store owner and bank director, says he had about that amount in the office safe and may have been hit by someone he once cashed checks for. Police and sheriff's deputies questioned several Morton residents with little progress.
