A bank robbery occured in Idabel OK on Feb 14, 1946. There were 4 men enter the bank, which had been left open by an employee of the bank. Her name was Elizabeth Dooley. The 4 men were tried and convicted, but I can't find any information on the out come of Mrs. Dooley's trial. The trial would have been convened in Muskogee OK. I would like very much to know what happen to Elizabeth Dooley.
The 3 men Duncan, Pack, & Larson were sentenced to El Reno and Moss was sent to Levenworth prison.
I have some newspaper articles on the men and the county docket, but not the trial transcript yet. Will share any info I have.
Thanks, Judy McElyea

... the names of those involved & their punishments were:
Jack Gibson MOSS, 36, Idabel *15 yrs on charge of entering the bank with the intent of commit burglary and 10 yrs for theft of cash from a bank
John Thomas DUNCAN, 24, Big Springs, Texas *2 10 yr sentences to run concurrently for theft of cash from a bank
Everett Roscoe PACK, 28, Fort Worth *2 5 yr sentences to run concurrently for theft of cash from a bank
Joseph Junior LAWSON, 20, Fort Worth *2 5 yr sentences to run concurrently for theft of cash from a bank
Mrs Elizabeth Dooley, 31, Idabel *posted $5,000 bond on a conspiracy count & remained at home, after being jailed in Antlers. No public indication as to her final sentencing.
Mrs Dooley's relationship with MOSS was described as a "nightime club" friendship. She stated she had been duped by her boyfriend, Moss, who had duplicate keys made of the vault and such.
Mrs Dooley had recently been divorced and was the mother of a 10-year old daughter. She had worked at the bank three years; and was born and reared in the Idabel area.
...I hope this helps out a little... :-))
