On April 12, 1924, San Marcos, Texas, was shaken by a daring bank robbery that left authorities scrambling to apprehend the culprits. In the early hours of the morning, a brazen thief, reportedly aided by accomplices, broke into the local bank and made off with an undisclosed sum of money. The getaway was facilitated by a breach in the pen, a nearby structure, which allowed the thieves to escape with ease.
