Op April 5, 1920, Frederick Charles Smith, ook bekend as “Die rooikop-Bandit”, geloop het in die Easton-Taylor Trust Company op 4474 Easton Avenue. Smith het 'n rewolwer in elke hand en geld van die kassier. Vrees vir sy lewe, die klerk het dadelik afgesak $15,309 in 'n sak.

George Hackenschmidt (1877-1968) was a world record holding weightlifter and World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion before wrestling was prearranged and lifters were using steroids.

I previously wrote about an incident in which a Detective Sergeant for the St. Louis Police was shot during a robbery attempt. Unlike a number of other incidents in Gilded Age St. Louis geskiedenis, Detective Sergeant James Martin King’s home in January 1920 still exists.

Ek het baie tyd spandeer om verskillende rangstelsels te bestudeer.

On Thursday, Junie 12, 1919, Earl Hunter en Charles Bergman, a parolee and ex-convict, held up the Meramec Trust Company shortly after it opened at 07:00 voormiddag. The robbery was not well planned and even more poorly executed. The corner of Virginia Avenue and Meramec Street was one of the busiest street car blocks in the city. The robbers had
