Tom Casey Died Wednesday, March 16 - Tom Casey, well known here among the 
old-timers died at the Folsom Prison in California, Wednesday, March 16th, 1932, 
at the age of 73. Tom Casey started as a young lawyer at Clinton and then went 
into the banking business with his father-in-law, George Y. Salmon in Clinton in 
1896. In 1905 the crash of the old Salmon bank came. George M. Casey was known 
as the "cattle king of Missouri" and was the father of Tom and it was through 
trying to save his father by switching of accounts that sent young Tom to prison 
in 1906. Tom's father died in 1903. After getting out of prison in Missouri, Tom 
Casey went to Huntington Park, California, and started another Trust Company, 
and was making good, until old friends threatened to expose him if he did not pay 
them their losses of years ago, and it was in trying to pay these losses that 
caused him to again steal, and for which he was convicted and sentenced to 
Folsom Prison January 7, 1932. His last sentence was from one to ten years.
