Madison Victim of Robbery and Mysterious Disappearance
The Madison series remains the talk in St Johns after he was held up and robbed on Tuesday night and later suffered a severe head injury on Saturday while returning from Portland. He claims 500 in cash was taken while he was in Portland to pay on a house, then his memory goes blank after a soda at a tavern. Authorities and friends debate how the daytime assault occurred in the business district, with many urging a full investigation to uncover the culprit and restore Madison's good name.
