Crowe, Dalton
Youthful Bank Robber Caught. "Bring Mother to Me," Sobs Boy When He is Placed in Cell. Case Comes Up For Trial Today - All But $500 Recovered. Chicago, Feb. 27 -- The evidence in the case of William Dalton, 16 year old bank clerk arrested in Heyworth, Illinois, yesterday, 48 hours after he had stolen $772,000 in liberty bonds from the Northern Trust Co. here where he worked, will be palced before the grand jury tomorrow. Robt. E. Crowe, state's attorney, announced tonight.
Mr. Crowe said every effort would be made to push the case and bring about speedy punishment for the boy who found it a simple matter to carry out the biggest bond theft in history, only to fall into the hands of a village constable after he had been recognized from pictures published in the newspapers.
Mr. Crowe's statement followed similar utterances from the company which had insured the trust company and from the bank's officials. All the bonds except one for $500, which had been cashed, were recovered, but the insurance company said to be lenient with Dalton would be placing temptation before other boys and that he must pay for his crime.
Bank officials felt the boy must be punished, but said his case should be handled carefully and he should get a fair chance to reform.
While the state's attorney's office was preparing to push the case, Dalton sat in a detention home here with an occasional tear running down his cheek. The air of nonchalance and bravado which characterized his statements yesterday had disappeared.
