Brother Says Hull Will Plead Guilty
Earl Hull will plead guilty to obtaining money under false pretenses next Tuesday in Clinton Iowa. He faces about seven years in the Iowa penitentiary if convicted. Hull was arraigned for preliminary hearing last Wednesday and hearing was set for next Tuesday. He allegedly sold an automobile he stole or knew was stolen from Waterloo Iowa for 250. A partner named Harold Carr, unknown in Clinton, is suspected of stealing the car. Carr has not yet been arrested and was described as being from Quincy. Hull has also been freed of a forgery charge after a check for 878.45 at a Clinton hardware store was found to be presented by someone else. Carr may have cashed that check.
