Police Capture
Fugitive Wanted
For 1956 Murder
Des Moines, Iowa-(UPD-A va
cancy appeared in the list of
the. FBI's "10 Most Wanted"
criminals today with the cap
ture of George Edward Cole,
32, an ex-convict wanted as a
police killer in San Francisco.
Cole, wearing a mustache
as a disguise but with a tell
tale heart and the words
"mom" and "pop" tatpoed on
his left forearm, was seized
Monday at a service station
where he was manager and
where he had worked for two
years.
He put lip no fight, but in
sisted his name was James
E. Walker and denied his true
identification until he was fin
gerprinted. Girl Friend Arrested
Arrested a short time later
and jailed with Cole was his
girl friend, Yvonne Conley,
45, San Francisco. The FBI
held her as his accomplice.
The FBI had sought Cole
on a charge of unlawful flight
to avoid prosecution in con
nection with the 1956 slaying
of Sgt. Joe Lacey, a San Fran
cisco policeman, during a tav
ern holdup.
An FBI spokesman said an
"intensive investigation" led
agents to the service station.
The agents drove up and asked
an attendant to fill lip then
automobile tank. They found
Cole in the office.
"He gave us no trouble and
said nothing except that he
denied his identification," the
spokesman said. He added that
Cole admitted his identity
when he was confronted with
fingerprinting.
Cole was unarmed when
the agents approached him.
Officers later found in a car
at the station a .22 caliber
pistol which they said be
long to him.
Miss Conley was arrested
when she arrived at the sta
tion a short time later to see
Cole. The FBI said the pah-
lived in a mobile home at a
trailer court.
Agents said that Cole had
served prison sentences in
California and Missouri for
grand larceny and armed rob
bery but had a "clean" record
here.
The 6 foot 1 inch fugitive
had an eight-point star tat
tooed on the back of his left
hand in addition to the tattoe
on his forearm.
San . Francisco police said
Cole was named by a compan
ion, Thomas Hamrick, as La
cey's killer. Lacey, off duty,
was sitting in the tavern
when Cole and Hamrick tried
to hold it up. Lacey tried to
stop the holdup, police said,
an.d was shot down. Hamrick
is serving time in San Quen
tin for the robbery.
