The Quimby anniversary book did not say anything much about Charles White, but a little about Hicks; ......Mrs. E.Bowers.....visited Hicks at the jail (Cherokee) . They (Hicks and Bowers) wanted to get married, but as they had no witnesses to speak for them, it was impossible for the clerk to issue a license..... (Mrs. E. Bowers was also reported to be the wife of a Sheldon (IA) blacksmith. (So evidently Hicks had been around that area anyway, Sheldon is north of Sioux City on Highway 75--maybe 50-60 miles.)Cherokee and Quimby are north and east of Sioux City. Hicks was headed south on his way to Omaha and Kansas City later after the robbery to get away, and had taken Mrs. Bowers with him to Omaha, then had her returned to Sioux City, and he went on to Kansas City where Hicks was arrested. In one of Hicks pockets was a letter directed to a woman in Sioux City giving a description of the tools wanted and how they could be worked into the jail. (for escape purposes) Hicks said they had "come out of Sioux City, IA...before the robbery, and afterwards, he and White had gone back to Sioux City, Ia. Dunning, one of the robbers, received a letter from his mother and sister saying they had moved from Yankton, SD to Sioux City, IA since his arrest. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= >I have Hicks and Whites in the family.
