35 YEAR OLD ROBBERY Paul Grimes, city marshal, received a letter Wednesday from Lawrence Grady of Little Rock, Ark., asking for information concerning a robbery which occurred here some 30 or 35 years ago. Mr. Grady did not say that he at one time lived in Greenjcastle, but he was asking for information, concerning the whereabouts of the man who was robbed of between $600 and $800. The man robbed was a German by the name of Henry Greers, a tailor, who was employed by the late Frank Cannon, who at that time conducted a tailor shop in the basement of the old First , National Bank building, , corner of Indiana and Washington
streets.
j Mr. Greers carried all his savings i on his person, being more or less afraid of the banks and as a result, the person robbing him got all he had. Mr. Grady asked in his letter that he be given the name, and Mr. Grimes secured the information from John F. Cannon, who easily recalled the ! robbery, saying it was about 35 years j ago. Greers lived in Cincinnati, O., | and so far as is known here, no in- j formation concerning his present j whereabouts ,-r the fact that he may | be dead, is known.
