The Gault saga has many bizarre elements I didn't have space to include in my original story, but will include in future articles. For example, Gault had successfully robbed a bank in Auburn 17 months earlier (getting $30,000 - the equivalent of almost $300,000 today). A native of Ohio, he had lived many years in a town in New York and first opened a chiropractor practice in Tuskegee (and also lived briefly in Theodore near Mobile, before buying a chiropractor practice in Prattvile). Albert Scarbrough was quoted in The Messenger as saying he saw Gault casing out a Troy bank a few weeks before Gault tried to rob the Ozark bank.
Thanks, Kevin. I hope this site eventually starts getting more reader comments (besides my own). This "free speech" forum is one of the best features of Substack imo.

Thanks Bill. I don’t think I ever heard about this.

Well done, Bill. Reads like a detective movie script. But this one’s real.
