The Working Class Union, a violent group of radicals, were believed to be behind the state's skyrocketing bank robberies--Oklahoma led the nation four to one in such crimes. Above, Henry Starr was known as "Oklahoma's King of the Bank Robbers." > > Thought you all would be interested in this tidbit. Clara in Emporia, Kansas >
