POLICE THINK HICKMAN
VISITED LAWN GARAGE
Authorities of Lebanon and other
surrounding counties are of the
impression that the recent gas sta-
tion hold-up and fraud committed at
Lawn in October when William E.
Hickman passed through Pennsyl-
vania, was the work of the notor-
ious “Fox.”
Due to the fact that the work at
the Lawn garage here was done in
a fashion similar to Hickman’s prac-
tice, and that the man was traveling
in a stolen automobile at the time,
led local residents and authorities
| to believe that it was Hickman.
Mr. Gingrich, proprietor of the
garage however, insists that it is
his belief that one of the men, and
especially the man who “hooked”
him was Hickman, because in his
opinion, although he was of a simi-
lar type and build of the descrip-
tion of Hickman, he appeared to be
about 45 years of age, while Hick-
man is but nineteen.
