Jury 70 Decide Fate Of Men In Auto Theft Case
Two young men Michael Howard of Chicago and William McKinley of St Paul face a jury over an alleged auto theft linked to a Dodge Brothers car taken to Des Moines via Waterloo. Their tale centers on a mysterious man known as Morris who recruited them after they performed music at the Y.M.C.A. and shared rides, with proceeds and travel arranged. The trial notes Howard's schooling and work, McKinley’s musical skills, and mentions influenza illness while detailing their meeting, journey, and offer.
