From the November 4th, 1931 Times-Tribune, more on the crook who tried to pull a fast one on Mark Dalrymple when he bought the City Bakery in Grant City in 1931 with a bad check, operated it for two days, and then cut and run. Subsequently, Ed Trusty, the con artist who pulled off this stunt, proceeded to Edina (MO), where he bought a bakery there. He operated it for one day, told them he was going to Greencastle (MO) to pick up his wife, and then failed to return. It turned out that Ed Trusty had drawn funds on the same nonexistent bank account in Eldora (IA) that he had done when he conned Mr. Dalrymple.
Subsequently, Mr. Trusty was arrested in Kirksville on Worth County’s warrant and Sheriff I.M. Willhite left to bring him back to the Worth County Jail. It turned out to be one fast one too many.
The November 18th, 1931 issue of the Times-Tribune subsequently reported that Mr. Trusty had pleaded not guilty and that the court had appointed attorneys for him. Bond was set at $1,000, and he was committed to the Worth County Jail.
