Officers Search in Vain for His Pal
Robbery at Fulton
Victim of Police Guns Buried at Prescott Tuesday
AUTO TIRES STOLEN $150 Worth Seized in Raid on J. B. Shults Store at Fulton
Wounded when he resisted arrest in connection with a series of robberies, Henry O. Hutson, 50, Prescott carpenter and fugitive, died at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning in Julia Chester hospital from a bullet that entered his back and emerged through, the abdomen. While funeral services were being held Tuesday afternoon at Prescott, officers in Hempstead and Nevada counties sought Otis Bean, a companion of the dead man who escaped in a volley of shots after officers had trapped the two on a highway viaduct, one mile east of Hope Monday afternoon.
Bean Believed Shot
Both men are residents, of Prescott. Officers said they believed Bean was wounded when Hutson was shot. An emergency operation was performed on Hutson Monday night in an attempt to save his life. The shooting occurred when Hutson and Bean fled after recognizing officers as they approached the bridge on foot. Hutson and Bean have been sought for weeks for filling station and store robberies in Nevada and Clark counties. Hutson was a carpenter and night watchman at Prescott for several years. He was a World war veteran. He and his wife separated two years ago. He has a seven-year-old son by a former marriage.
