James C. Thomas and the Nebraska Bank Holdup of 1931

Mr. Monty McCord of Hastings, Nebraska, along with the History Press, have published   The 1931 Hastings Bank Job and the Bloody Bandit Trail. This 160 page paperback was published in 2013 and recounts the story of the men and women, including +James Clyde Thomas, who robbed the Hastings National Bank. In Chapter 12, titled “Jim Clyde, Dr Hunt and the Texas Rangers,” Mr. McCord  adds the story of the Dr. Roy Hunt murder to Jim’s dossier, and reveals the fate of Jim Clyde Thomas in Chapter 14. Several  previously unpublished photographs of Jim Clyde Thomas  were provided by Jim Thomas relatives presently living  in Texas, and Mr. McCord has revived photos from the Hastings Tribune. Anyone interested in the Hunt murder saga and Jim Clyde Thomas will want to add this book to their true crime library. We ordered our copy from History Press. The complete story of the Dr. Roy Hunt murder, Clovis Road II, can be purchased from Highgate Publishing LLC, 6257 Highgate Lane, Dallas, Texas 75214.
