EASTER ROBBERY ENDS IN DEATH
Night Watchman Kills Burglar at McAlester
McAlester – Charles Belville, 18, is dead and Otto Giguer, 19, is in the county jail as the result of an attempt to rob a South Main Street Store early Easter morning. Homer Noel, a third member of the gang, escape. The killing of Belville and the arrest of Giguer was effected by James McCully, night patrolman. McCulley saw them inside the store from a front window and ordered them to surrender. Noel ran, while the other two attempted to hide behind boxes and McCulley, expected trouble, fired. When Belville fell mortally wounded, Giguer yelled his capitulation.
