Ottawans Charged With Oil Theft
Ottawan brothers Drue Alexander Watson 43 and Ernest Bryan Watson were arrested by Johnson County deputies in a case involving about 70 000 barrels of crude oil stolen from a Phillips Petroleum pump near Edgerton. They allegedly bought a 10 000 barrel storage tank but moved none. The scheme reportedly began in 1959 with chief engineer William Reay Churchman blamed for opening the valve to let oil fill the tank and the oil was sold to a southeast Kansas refinery.
