Description
The Bank of Pevely, Pevely, Missouri, a federally insured bank, was, in the early afternoon of July 27, 1954, robbed of approximately $40,000 by two armed men in coveralls, one having much of his face covered with what looked like a babys diaper, and the other wearing sun glasses. They came to the bank in a stolen car, driven by an accomplice, and left with their loot in the same way. As a result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local authorities, Robert Michael Hickman, Robert Theodore Weaver and Carl Hunt were, on October 13, 1954, charged, by an indictment of a federal grand jury, with having committed the robbery. Each of the defendants entered a plea of not guilty. Each was represented by counsel of his own choice. They were tried to a jury, which found each of them guilty. From the judgments and sentences imposed by the court upon the jurys verdict, each of them appealed. Their convictions were affirmed by this Court on April 9, 1956, in Hunt v. United States; and Hickman (and Weaver) v. United States, 8 Cir., 231 F.2d 784.
