Parks who were charged after tell
ing police they took $3,055 from two
Houston men while trying to solve
-the unreported burglary so that

that time, said their recital of hnw
they came here In solve a major
ourglary lor a big story was
fantastic. I
Police have said that Kicks had
no connection with the Denny bur
glary. Tivjuy Race Horse
Kckert. who was arrested April
Jf . told officers he had sold a Cad
illac automobile to Hamlett a few
days after the Denny burglary and
