Louise Showalter
Toronto Daily Star, December 18 1931
A search turned up a few old newspaper articles related to Ms. Showalter:
- She later admitted to taking part in five robberies, and stopped insisting that she was 17, not 16. This meant that she would be tried in juvenile court rather than as adult (which, at the time, could have led to the death penalty).
- The total number of offenses later went up to "numerous burglaries and 7 holdups" in a month.
- She was eventually sentenced to five years in a state industrial school for girls.
