Two “Nice Guys” Abscond
With $114,500 From
Virginia Bank Vault
NEW MARKET, Va., OP)—A self
styled ex - sheriff and a former
mayor of this Shenandoah Valley
town faced charges Friday they
cleaned out the vault of a bank
where they were officers and fled
across the Canadian border with
$114,500.
One of the men returned later.
The money has not been recov
ered.
News of the FBI charges against
the hitherto respected pair swept
through town with teletype speed
and caused folks to scratch their
heads in amazement.
Former Mayor Theodore Roose
velt Beahm, Sr., 56, who has re
turned here, was “just about one
of the nicest guys who ever saw,”
a local police office said. Beahm
had been with the town’s only
bank about 20 years and had risen
to the posts of vice president and
cashier.
Don R. Simpson, 55, a bank di
rector, was a comparative new
comer “But he seemed real plea
sant,” police said. Officers said
Simpson came he^e 2Vz years ago,
bought a fashionable estate and
told folks he was a former sheriff
in Somerset County, Pa.
Both Beahm and Simpson were
charged with bank embezzlement.
Accused of aiding the two men to
flee to Canada is Simpson’s neph
ew, Charles R. Simpson, 30, de
scribed by town officials as a
“nice lad.”

Woman Attacker
Sought By Angry
Dallas Citizens
DALLAS, Tex., (ffi — Hundreds
of angry Dallas residents, irked
by a series of attacks on white
women by a Negro prowler,
formed a vengeful posse yesterday
and searched for the killer of a
young mother.
The slaying Wednesday night of
Mrs. H. C. Parker, 29-year-old
dime store clerk, climaxed a series
of beatings and rapes upon white
women by a prowler who had
terrified Dallas women for
months. Police said the pretty
woman was literally “cut to
pieces.”
Reinforced beefed - up police
patrols thrown into the crowded
business and residential area near
Reverchon Park and Lemmon
Avenue in North Dallas searched
in vain for the terrorist. Police
Chief Carl Hansson warned angry
citizens to be careful of their aim.
He said he feared innocent per
sons would be injured and killed.
Women slept with lights on and
rifles by their beds. Husbands dug
old six-shooters and army wea
pons out of trunks and closets.
Bird guns were loaded with buck
shot.
Harried police were receiving
dozens of calls each night even
before Mrs. Parker was killed.
Chief Hansson had put dozens of
extra police on duty hunting the
prowler who has terrified women
in several parts of the city.
