that would hide it,” said the SB1
agent.
Yet Charles seemed to have ta
ken few pains to hide things about
himself when he visited the An
gier bank His ehief piece of de
ception was to call himself "Gary
Moore of Denson."
Gary Moore he was not, but he
had lived in Benson at times —;
and Bens< n was the town where
his adventure was to end. quietl>
and without ruckus, exactly like
the quiet and ruckus-less robbery
of the Angler bank.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 4.r> o'
clock. Charles .lackson went to the
Parrish Motor Company in Benson
to pick up his car. He had order
ed an eight-cylinder engine to re
place his six-cylinder motor Wai
ting for him were Agent O'Daniel
and two FBI men. Harry V .Tones
and John Bassett of Fayetteville.
They had a federal warrant
Charles surrendered without
fuss. A good-looking man. a
friendly man — a fellow who had
been liked by nearly everybody
when for 12 years, he drove a
milk route for a dairy in Dunn.
They always say, don’t they.
‘‘I don't know why 1 did it"'’
Charles said this, too, but in his
case the officers were just as mys
tified as he professed himself to
be
How many bank robbers do you
know with four thousand honest
dollars in the bank’’
Charles readily told officers that
he had sold his interest in a Cal
ifornia service station for this
amount and that he still had the
money in the bank.
The stolen $33,000 was locked in I
the trunk of his ear, some of it in
a suitcase and some wrapped in
a sport-coat, and it was virtually
untouched Only $200 was gone.
In the trunk, too. was the 32
caliber, nickel-plated Colt pistot
w hich had enforced his quiet words i
to the bank employes that they j
lie on the floor
Yes. he told O’Oaniel and the i
others, the request for a loan at
the Angier bank had been an hon
est one. He had tried a Coats bank,
several individuals around Dunn
and elsewhere — trying to get two
thousand dollars to help him go
into business
“It’s hard to get a loan.” he told
the officers.
He had gone back to the bank,
he said, determined to rob it if
they did not grant him what he
wanted.
This confirmed the hank’s cash
ier, Haywood Hall, who said he
had a feeling that the youth real
ly .wanted a loan-and was not me
rely casing the bank, as some
were wont to suspect.
Why had he fait impelled to
steal money if he already had the
sum of lour thousand dollars in
ino nank
"T don't know,” said O’Danie
"There was no damn sense in :
in a lot of ways.”
The SHI agent, who lives i
Dunn, and his two fellow officer
from the FBI, Jones and Basset
| picked up the scent on Jaekso
! and broke a case that had dozen
of officers on the lookout
O'Daniel said that suspicion wa
cast on the former dellveryma
through "a tip given to mysel
and the two FBI agents.” Jone
and Bassett, said O'Daniel, ar
“two of the best — we were dig
ging pretty hard.”
"We knew it was mm and w
knew he was around Dunn somi
where in this area." said O’Dai
iel, "but we couldn't just put oi;
hands on him,”
The oddest thing was that Jacl
son in his milk-route days, was
familiar figure in all the town
around here — even Angier En
ployes at the bank had not bee
able to finger their quarry bn
all agreed, said O'Daniel, "thei
was something familiar about hir
—they had seen him before.”
When his photo was shown, on
of the ladies at the bank remenr
bered.
"He used to drive a dairy truck,
she said.
A brother’s home; the home r
his former wife. Ada Jackson; th
home of his present wife in Smitt
field, and the home of his fathe
in Wilmington were all watchec
And they found the car in a Bet
son garage.
“We wanted to catch him wit
the money.” said O'Daniel.
Not explaining their presence
the three officers took up quarter
at the garage and waited until h
came.
Jackson is now in jail in Fay
etteville awaiting federal trial. A
a preliminary hearing last nigh
before U. S. Commissioner T I.
Hon he said, "i say I'm guilty
I'm here to take advice to d
whatever will make it easiest fo
you ”
His bond was set at $25,000
and if the proceeds of a robber;
only belonged to the robber, h
would have been able to make i
easily. Jackson is awaiting hi
trial in jail
Motive? He told officers he ha<
no outstanding debts — wasn’
driven to the Angier bank by fear:
that apparently motivated his pre
deeessor. Worth Whitaker.
Only two weeks ago. his forfne
wife had gained a non-suppor
judgement of $35 a month in Dunt
court: she had already receive*
the first check.
She had supposed — as all wh<
knew him supposed — that then
was no reason for him to rob i
bank Yet. as she watched "Queei
for a Day” on her television se
yesterday afternoon. Ada Jacksoi
heard her ex-hubby suddenly nam
ed in a special news bulletin a
the Angler robber. Why had h
done it?
"I don’t khow.” Ada says.
'1 don't know," says 'Agent Bil
O’Daniel.
“1 don’t know.” says Jacksoi
himself
That’s where it will be left un

"In fact," declared Wendy, "it

Expressing keen diaapp«£tt

a prior engagement for "the art

that same afternoon and that "the
former commitment has to take
honorable precedence over the la

He said he “dolefully” recalled |
the former commitment.
Along with expressing regrets,
the celebrated author also did a
little personal reminiscing about
his boyhood visits to Dunn.
"You were very kind to invite
me,” wrote Green. “It’s always
a pleasure to be back home and

little boy my father and 1 u.itu

LITTLE NOTES: Arrest of Chajl
es Jackson of Dunn as the Angier
bank robber has been the talk of
the town since The Daily Record
hit the streets last night. About
the surest way to land in jail is
to rob a bank . . . It's bad enough
’ to have the FBI after you and to
have SB1 Agent Bill O Daniel on
11 your trail also adds up to double
s trouble Those boys have plen
' ty of time, plenty of manpower
™ and all the money it takes to catch
you . . . (The FBI Is the only
s Federal agency with unlimited
1 spending authority.) . . . They
f work fast, but they've also got
s plenty of patience ... If the;
, don't get their man today, they'll
get him tomorrow, or next year
or 10 years from now . . . It's al
I lie same to them. . . But it was
Dunn's own Bill O’Daniel who
[ cracked this bank robbery and
got bis man! Dunn had been lit
erally crawling with FBI agents
since Bill put the finger on Jack
, son . . . One fellow said five 01
s them descended on him at on<
time to ask some routine ques
t tions . . . Bill and the FBI ag
( ents worked smoothly and inetho
:> dlcally, leaving no stone unturn
, ed . . . Jackson was tailed Iron
e bank robbery, he could do as mud
- as 30 years in a federal prison
Sentences of others who tried the
same bank — all have been cap
tured and convicted — have aver
f aged, according to O’Daniel, ten
’ to 15 years.
i- it would be hard to find a bank
i‘ robber who has had so many nice
things said about him as Charles
Jackson. O’Daniel speaks well of
him. Former friends thought high
1 ly. And the bank employes them
selves found him considerate, ap
• ologetic and nice-looking,
s Not like that bad bandit Jimmy
B Murchison.
That’s the story — until a feder
- al court adds another chapter.
