Trial of Leonard C. (Peg) Stock-
ton on charges of robbery with fire-
arms growing out of the robbery
of the Graford bank two months
ago, is set for Monday, July 10, and
is expected to be one of the most
widely publicized trials in the coun-
ty for many years. Stockton waiv-
ed a special venire and will be tried
before a regular jury. Judge Rus-
sell appointed Roy Creighton to
defend Stockton.
Stockton, according to charges,
obtained more than $600 at pistol
point from Miss Mae Divinney, as-
sistant cashier, in a daylight hold-
up, and then fled west. He was
captured in Stephens county fol-
lowing a gun battle with Sheriff
Freeland and returned to this coun-
ty. The robbery followed a wild
night of crime in which Stockton
also is connected in Oklahoma with
kidnapping a man and woman,
murder of the man, and later with
kidnaping another man and with
theft of a car.
