Description

The single article (1934-10-31) states the Sapulpa State Bank is 'now closed' and references a 1927 robbery. The article does not describe a run or a suspension event explicitly nor reopening; therefore I classify as a suspension leading to permanent closure (suspension_closure). No cause for suspension is provided in the text.

Convict Told Bankers (Continued from page Unless plans are changed over night, Kimes ended his "goodwill" tour Tuesday night. "We have given everybody who wants to protest chance to have their say,' White said. "Now we are ready to have the matter come to a head." While Kimes was reviewing press notices of nis parole effort in Oklahoma City, and finding them "not as bad as they could be," a "hold" order and warrant for his arrest in connection with one of Oklahoma's big. gest bank robberies, were mailed to the penitentiary from Sapulpa. The warrant charged Kimes with a robbery which, earlier in the day, he is reputed to have confessed to Gum. Kimes: admitted to Gum that he participated in the robbery in 1927 of the Sapulpa State bank, now closed. The loot in that raid, $41,953, was the largest ever taken from an Oklahoma bank up to that time, Gum said.
