The Fleagle Gang, consisting of Jake and Ralph Fleagle, George Abshier, and Howard “Heavy” Royston, held up the First National Bank of Lamar, shot and killed the bank president and his son, and escaped with an unspecified amount of money. The robbers were eventually tracked down due to a single thumbprint they failed to wipe from the driver’s side door of the car they had used to commit the robbery.
