Indictments in San Francisco Road Robbery Case
Louis Fotheringham, charged with grand larceny and receiving stolen property, is among those indicted by the grand jury. Jim Cummings and Richard Roe also face charges. Fotheringham denies guilt and claims mistreatment. A letter alleged to come from Jim Cummings claims Fotheringham was unaware of the plot. The letter arrived at the Globe-Democrat editor last week and includes two Express envelopes with $30,000 and $12,000. Detectives consider the letter possibly blind but see strong clues guiding the case toward resolution.
