The Way It Was: Wheelbarrow load, 1958
Burglary at the Statehouse! This photo shows a West Virginia State Police trooper returning bundles of money to the state Treasury after it had been stolen by a burglar who hid it in the trunk of his old car. Note a young Gov. Cecil Underwood at right. I don't know how much time the crook spent in jail, but the public spent more time laughing than they did demanding a stiff sentence. -- Photo from Richard Andre
