Clever two trunk fur heist linked to Morgan gang
A Cleveland fur robbery ten years old unfolds through an insider tale. It traces how Blinkey Morgan and partners used decoy trunks shipped to New York and Alpena to steal furs from Rudy and Benedict and to fund escape plans, involving a Pittsburgh fence and a fatal pursuit that ended with Morgan’s execution. The piece covers McMunn’s Ravenna rescue, Halligan’s death, Sheriff Lynch’s killing, and a web of conspirators, from Pat Kelly to Nosey Gleason, with parallels to earlier Kentucky bank raids and a dramatized wedding ambush staged by Morgan to secure the heist.
