Black Sheep Sunday: Kiss Thwarts Girl's Wedding With Suspect
Source: Kokomo Daily Tribune, Kokomo, Indiana, April 4, 1925, p. 2
KISS THWARTS GIRL'S WEDDING WITH SUSPECT
Same Kiss Was Also A Little Detail That Led to Hangout Of Bandit Suspects
GIRL IS NOT IN JAIL
Whereabouts A Secret - Some Mystifying Angles of Case Are Cleared Up
The fact that the arrest of Thaddeus "Ted" Skeer at Detroit Thursday, as a suspect in connection with the robbery of the South Kokomo bank, was to have been married Friday injects an element of heart interest into the daring holdup.
The girl is Miss Louise Brunner, 22 years old, whose home is at Ft. Wayne. She was arrested at the time Skeer, Pierpont and Hayes were taken into custody but held solely as a material witness. No charges were preferred against her.
Miss Brunner was brought to Kokomo with the prisoners but not lodged in jail.
As to her whereabouts a strange air of secrecy prevaded police headquarters today and all questions concerning the heroine of the sensational holdup were met with a reluctance that somehow managed to impart the impression that she was within easy reach of the Kokomo police and that her presence could be had on a moment's notice.
Developments in the case over night have cleared up a number of mystifying and contradictory angles respecting it.
For one thing, police have learned that Skeer did not go from Kokomo to Ft. Wayne following the robbery to arrange the wedding with his sweetheart. On the contrary it is now believed that Skeer made the arrangements for his sweetheart to meet him in Detroit, by long-distance telephone from that city. She borrowed the money from her mother with which to make the journey.
Crooks never know what little detail may happen to work their undoing; the wisest heads cannot anticipate everything. In the case of the Kokomo bank bandits, it was a kiss that led the police directly to their capture in Detroit.
This is the way it worked out.
With knowledge that Miss Brunner was to join her lover in Detroit, telephone wires fairly smoked Wednesday with hurry-up calls among police officers over the state to the end that she might be trailed from Ft. Wayne to the hangout of the bandits. The tip on the lovers meeting came from Capt. Pappert of the Ft. Wayne police department to Capt. Main of the Kokomo police, who has successfully worked on the case from almost the moment of the robbery. At the time it was not possible for any member of the local department to make the trip to Ft. Wayne in time to arrive before the girl's train departed for Detroit. C.F. Huntington, Pinkerton operative here engaged on the case, was not at local police headquarters at the time Capt. Pappert's message came in and when he showed up shortly afterwards the tip caused him to get in immediate communication with Superintendent Miller of the Indianapolis Pinkerton headquarters. Miller told Huntington to remain in Kokomo and to arrange by telephone to have the girl shadowed.
While this was done, it was not so simple a matter as it may appear. The police were at the disadvantage of not being able to identify the girl, while they did know her father.
At the Ft. Wayne railroad station, at 5:15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Miss Brunner, starting for Detroit to join her sweetheart, turned up her face to receive her father's farewell kiss. Detectives who had been watching the father instantly knew that here was the girl they were to shadow, and the trail was taken up.
But officers did not follow Louise to Detroit. Word was passed along to the train conductor who, in turn, carried instructions to point out the girl to detectives who would board the train at Detroit. Arrangements were made by telephone for the train to thus met on its arrival.
Accordingly, therefore, when the train bearing the girl who looked forward to being a bride the following Friday - yesterday - arrived in the outskirts of Detroit, plainclothes men boarded it, to whom the girl was shown.
The rest was easy. Both Skeer and Pierpont met the train at Detroit. While the sweethearts withdrew to a waiting room for a conference, Pierpont mounted guard outside, but all three of them at the time were under the surveillance of many lynx-eyed detectives. If anything had occurred to their suspicions escape would have been impossible.
But nothing suspicious occurred. The three basked in perfect security - so much so indeed, that Skeer, Pierpont and the girl thought nothing of it when an extra passenger, carrying a suitcase, climbed into the taxicab with them and rode to their destination. They doubtless regarded him merely as an extra "pickup" fare.
But he wasn't. He was a Pinkerton man, one of the number detailed to shadow the suspects to their lair.
Thus it was that a kiss, innocently bestowed in Ft. Wayne, led the police straight to the rendezvous of the men charged with the bank robbery at Kokomo.
Furthermore the same kiss was the direct means of thwarting the wedding of the girl and Skeer, arranged for Friday.

Mom's May Garden Tips
May
Garden Tips
The
weather has finally warmed up and now everyone is anxious to get their garden planted.
My cool-weather crops like cabbage, onions, and peas have survived the two
freezes and are looking much better. The potatoes are sprouting new
leaves as the previous one got bite by the late freeze.
If
you started any plants from seeds, they should be transplanted to the garden
this month. I have found that not all plants, however like to go into the
garden in early May. So at the beginning of the month (May 3-10) I
plant green beans. For a continuous production, I sow seeds every 14
days. I plant sweet corn (which sometimes I do a first planting in late
April). Since corn is wind-pollinated, it should be planted in
blocks of at least four rows rather than in long single rows. By planting
early, mid, and late-season varieties you can extend the harvest over several
weeks. If you can plant corn on the north side of the garden it will prevent it
from shading nearby crops. I plant my rows north and south.
You can always plant turnips, and a more beets, carrots, lettuce, and
radishes.
After
the middle of the month which is usually after Mother’s Day, I plant tomatoes,
cucumbers, squash, peppers, pumpkins, and limas. I save the
watermelon and muskmelon plants and sweet potatoes towards the end of the month
(Memorial Day).
Transplants
benefit from started fertilizer. Apply fertilizer in the water that
plants receive after planting. Sometimes I just work 10-10-10 into
the ground around the transplant and water well. Remember
plants will need about 1 inch of water per week.
Harvest
the first radishes, lettuce, and green onions. Keep picking the
rhubarb and asparagus so they will keep producing. When the
asparagus spears diminish in size, stop picking and let the plants grow.
Rhubarb will produce all summer if it has enough water and fertilizer, so I
give it 10-10-10 every month.
Black
Raspberries need to get their second feeding of plant food this month
also. They should start producing around July 4th.
Gardening has been such a big part of the family tradition that I thought I'd better get as much information written down from mom and dad as soon as possible to pass on.

Source: Kokomo Daily Tribune, Kokomo, Indiana, Saturday, April 4, 1925, p. 1.
IS HAYES INNOCENT OF CONNECTION WITH BANK HOLDUP?
Belief Expressed That Suspected Man Had No Hand In Robbery
Now Said That Only Four Men Staged South Kokomo Holdup - Two Suspects Are Still Being Earnestly Sought By Police - Story Comes To Light Telling in Detail Just How the Crime Was Committed - Claim Evidence Connects Quartet With Three Other Recent Bank Robberies
That not more than four men participated in the robbery of the South Kokomo Bank the afternoon of March 27 seems to have been established by the Kokomo police.
This has been the theory upon which Captain Omer L. Main of the Kokomo police department has worked from the first. Captain Main, though, says that all along he admitted the possibility of a fifth bandit being mixed up in the matter somewhere along the line. That this has been proved not to be so is one of the newest developments in the case.
Just how the police have obtained their information that pieces together all the circumstances leading up to the sensational robbery they will not divulge.
Whether either or both of the two men under arrest and held here at the county jail has confessed or admitted any participation in the crime, local police headquarters will neither affirm nor deny. Captain Main said that there had been too much talk and newspaper speculation about the case already and that there was nothing new to give out.
It was admitted, however, that both of the prisoners are "hardboiled" and the impression was imparted that they showed no signs of weakening in making a denial of their connection with the robbery.
Whether Miss Louise Brunner is in any way connected with latest developments also could not be directly ascertained, but the fact that she is not in the county jail and no one seems to know her whereabouts is taken as significant as to the importance with which her relation to the robbery is regarded in police circles.
However through different sources that may be taken as authentic, it may be accepted that the Kokomo police department no longer believes that John Roscoe Hayes, known here as "Whitey", and erstwhile singer with the Sullivan entertainers, participated in the robbery, and this in spite of the fact that he is said to have been identified by "Chick" Nelson and by A.E. Gorton also perhaps.
Furthermore it has been developed that the strongest kind of evidence has been accumulated that connect Harry Pierpont, one of the men held here, and Everett Bridgewater, directly with at least three other bank robberies or attempted bank robberies of recent months.
These are the ones at Noblesville that was frustrated, the robbery of the State Bank of Upland, and the robbery of the bank at Marion, Ind.
Bridgewater is one of the men charged with the Kokomo robbery for whom the policy are searching.
No linking of the fourth man's identity, or even whether the police know who he is, has been given out.
According to the story of the robbery here, said to be established as fact, Pierpont, Skeer, Bridgewater and a fourth man, drove into Kokomo about 12:30 p.m. the day the robbery was committed in three automobiles. One was the stolen "blue Moon" car that figured so conspicuously in the case, and the other two were, respectively, a Ford coupe and a Ford sedan. This procession drove straight down Washington street, past police headquarters and to the entrance of the city park.
Here, at a point where the driveways diverge, the Ford coupe was parked, headed east, its occupant climbing into the Moon car.
This machine and the Ford sedan then proceeded west to a point about two miles south of Melfalfa park - where the Moon car was found abandoned - where the Ford sedan was parked and its occupant also climbed into the Moon car.
The party now circled back to the city and arrived at a point about a block west of the South Kokomo bank at approximately 1:30 o'clock on the afternoon of March 27. The Moon car, driven by Skeer, continued east in Markland avenue and halted just clear of the alley east of the Hotel Markland, which was about 100 feet east of the bank. Skeer then went back and joined his confederates and the robbery was perpetrated as already described.
That there was no other car in the neighborhood connected in any way with the robbery seems also to have been established.
In making their getaway the bandits drove south in Union street dividing the loot as they went. Division had been effected by the time they arrived at the park. Here two men left the Moon car with their share of the booty and reentered the Ford coupe in which they made for the Range Line road by the most direct route, the other two in the larger automobile returning to the spot where the Ford sedan had been left. The Moon car was abandoned here, having served its purpose, and the two remaining bandits drove away in the Ford sedan.
Whither?
That is a part of the story that remains to be told. When police are scouring the countryside for an automobile as conspicuous as was the big blue Moon, it is easy for a Ford or even two Fords, to slip past unnoticed.
Other details, however, tend to show that Skeer and the unidentified fourth member of the band were unfamiliar with Kokomo, but that Bridgewater and Pierpont had the lay of the land all mapped. It was these latter two, it is believed, who engineered the affair and that in doing so spent considerable time in Kokomo prior to the holdup.
In this connection, a brand new Nash coach found by the police in Patterson park two or three weeks ago has been traced to the bandits. It originally carried a dealer's license and at the time it was stolen at Terre Haute had been driven only 400 miles. When found here the speedometer showed a mileage of 3,300 miles.
Also an Oakland car belonging to Ot Pearcy and stolen from the alley back of the salesroom on the west side of the courthouse square about three weeks ago is said to have been used by the bandits at least on one trip into Kentucky where it was believed a quantity of liquor was procured. The car was found abandoned at Indianapolis.
That Hayes will be brought back to Kokomo as soon as the Detroit authorities are through with him, seems certain. But whether he will be held for trial charged with participation in the robbery appears doubtful. Why such positive conviction prevails that he was not one of the bandits has not been revealed, but Capt. Main expresses confidence that he was innocent of any connection with the Kokomo bank robbery.
In this connection, it is said that the nearest Pierpont came to making any sort of admission was when Hayes' connection with the robbery was mentioned.
"He doesn't know anything about this case," Pierpont is reported to have said.
Police say this is the only comment Pierpont has made touching the robbery.
Skeer is said to have expressed surprise that Hayes was placed under arrest and to have declared positively that he never heard of Hayes and never saw him prior to the arrest in Detroit.
The re-entry into Kokomo of two men suspected of being members of the bandit gang that held up and robbed the South Kokomo bank a week ago Friday was more imposing than their swift departure after the robbery.
Heavily manacled and handcuffed to two Kokomo policemen and escorted by an armed guard of eleven men in three automobiles, the party arrived from Detroit about a half-hour after midnight this morning.
The suspects, who have been positively identified as members of the robber gang are Thaddeus Skeer, 23 years old, and Harry Pierpont, 24, both of whom are charged with the robbery of the Kokomo bank on March 27 and who are also suspected of numerous other robberies of a similar type.
With the party was Miss Louise Brunner of Ft. Wayne, 21 years old, sweetheart of Skeers, whose journey to Detroit Wednesday from Ft. Wayne, was the direct means of leading the police to the rendezvous where Skeer, Pierpont and Roscoe C. Hayes, known here as "Whitey," were captured.
Hayes was identified as a member of the bandit quartet engaged in the holdup in South Kokomo, but is said to have been held by the Detroit police as a material witness in a murder case there.
Officers Archie Thompson and Rosenbrock were the two members of the Kokomo police department who were detailed to go to Detroit and fetch the prisoners to Kokomo after recovery of bonds constituting part of the loot of the South Kokomo bank robbery had been recovered.
A.E. Gorton, cashier of the bank, "Chick" Nelson, golf professional at the Kokomo Country club, and Vernon Shaw, a victim of the bandits, accompanied the two officers to Detroit and lent cumulative strength to previous suspicion by positively identifying the trio as three of the men engaged in the robbery in this city.
Furthermore, the case against the prisoners is said to have been still further strengthened by a subsequent search of their rooms, as a result of which Liberty bonds amounting to $900, identified as part of the booty of the Marion bank robbery some months ago, are reported to have been found.
Every precaution was taken to safeguard the prisoners, and not to take any chances that confederates might attempt to rescue them, the guard was strengthened when the party arrived at Peru on the homeward trip, which was made by a secret, circuitous route from Detroit.

Spring Rummages & Family History
Spring is here and time for the rummage sales to begin. For the past few years, mom and dad have been downsizing since retirement. They've even been able to get me into the act, as per my previous post. These rummage sales seem to turn into a family event, with the grandkids (my nieces) eager to help out. Though my preference is an auction, rummages still hold a special place. Our town's rummage date is always the third weekend in June.
Mom shared with me in an email some thoughts on rummages :
Mom shared with me in an email some thoughts on rummages :
(P.S. I've inherited the same 'bug', just take a look at my garage. Need to declutter myself....)Every spring many people start cleaning out and holding rummage sales. I remember the many rummage sales my mother and I organized for the church. We would have one in the spring and fall. They were very popular. We had a fun doing them and then it seemed that after awhile, churches stopped having rummage sales. I imagine it was because they are a lot of work and no one wanted to organize or help with them. They have been reappearing in a few churches in the recent years.We decided to do one this year and it got to me to thinking about the difference in generations. My generation (baby boomers) collected and accumulated things possibly because of the way our parents were raised. My parents were children during the depression and therefore, they didn’t throw anything away unless they couldn’t figure a new use of an item. I can remember my mother would always remove buttons, zippers, elastic, and usable trim from a garment before she threw it away. She would figure out how to make something new out of an item even if it she only painted it. She would upholster furniture instead of buying new. So I guess I continued on with the way I was raised by accumulating and redoing instead of throwing items away. I’ve noticed that today’s generation don’t accumulated or collect. I'm trying to be like today's generation and getting rid of all this stuff that I no longer need or use...wish me luck.
