Morrrigon ransom tale reveals early Texas kidnapings
In July 1930 Isaac Bledsoe of San Antonio Music Co was kidnapped for 160000 but released after lowering demands. The Morrison case, linked to the Bledsoe kidnapping, led to confessions and trials. Edmondson implicated Connor and Wright, with Morrison testifying about the ransom delivery and threats. Authorities traced part of the money and tied the spree to extortion and other hold ups across Texas.
