Believe Woman Killed Murray in Battle with Robbers
In Council Bluffs the $1,478 in currency taken from Mrs. Alice Sting, alleged brains behind the gang, includes large bills. She denied guilt in court as police call her clever and capable. She fired the first shot, killing Special Officer Murray and wounding Officer Lane, then the gang’s leader killed. Bonds, money, and connections hint at outside support for the accused. Parents of the slain officer mourn at the morgue as they view the body.
