Trial of E F Boucke Sparks Local Curiosity in Robbery Case
The trial of E F Boucke for binding, gagging and robbing J B Blick’s Molly residence at Green Lake last December opened in the superior court. Boucke, a former state agent for Mutual Lite Insurance, is also suspected in other burglaries including Kemp at North Seattle and the Moore home at Madrona Park. Boucke, described as scholarly, faces a zealous defense by Fred Daie Weed and J F Rain as authorities pursue a bold, Jekyll and Hyde narrative. The defendant was arrested months later in California with a woman companion and returned to Beattie for trial.
