Description
CHURCH DEACON IN DAYLIGHT EFFICIENT BURGLAR AT NIGHT
Minneapolis, Minn., March 19.óHereís the double role played for
the last ten years by George Hyatt, according to his alleged confession. In daylight, a printer, deacon of the church, Sunday school teacher and popular model for the boys at
Anoka, Minn. At night, a bank robber, stick-up man, porch climber and all around efficient burglar. Hyatt is in the city jail awaiting arraignment on the charge of attempting to rob the Champlin, Minn., State bank last week and beating Miss Hazel Flynn, cashier,until she was unconscious. The girl still is in a precarious condition. Authorities today took a wagon load of loot from Hyatt's home to distribute among residents. He has
confessed, the police say, to a large number of robberies and attempted holdups and also to arson, having burned a home to destroy evidence of looting.
