Neat, pleasant, soft-spoken.” Those words did not ex press all the perplexity in ihe mind of State Bureau of Investigation Agent William V. O’Daniel, instrumental in the capture of the Angier bank robber. John Charles Jackson, 34 year-old former Dunn man just recently returned from Fresno, California, had vis ited friends, family and gone to the movies since Monday when a sudden strike on the Angier bank relieved it of $33,000. The robbery had occurred at 2:15 p. m.—a little after the bank’s closing hour. Twenty minutes after he had herded the six employes of the bank into a vault, Charles was back in Dunn and acting like a normal citi zen. Roadblocks that closed in behind him were too late and the officers were looking for the wrong make of car in any case.
