12th Attempt On
Life Of Gambler
Noble Successful
DALLAS, (JP)—A blind sheriff
and the famed Texas Rangers
joined hands in seeking the killer
of gambler Herbert (The Cat)
Noble.
Their clues were few: a blue
pick-up truck seen speeding away
from the spot where Noble was
blasted to death Tuesday, a bat
tery, and a few strands of wire.
“But that’s more than we usual
ly have to go on,” said Ranger
Captain Bob Crowder.
Denton County Sheriff W. O.
Hodges, blinded by a change of
buckshot a few years ago, said
“We know a party who has a
pick-up truck like the one which
was used.”
Noble had cheated death eleven
times before Tuesday’s 12th and
successful attempt on his life.
The silver-haired, self-styled re
tired gambler was killed as he
stopped his car at a rural mail
box near his fortress-like ranch.
The killer—or killers—hid in a
scrub oak thicket some 75 yards
away, then touched off a devil
ishly-hidden land mine.
The blast underneath Noble’s
automobile left it a crumbled
wreckage and scattered bits of
the 42-year-old gambler’s body
over a wide area.
It was at least the fourth at
tempt to kill Noble by explosion.
The first killed his wife by mis
take. That was late in 1949. Mrs.
Noble was killed when she step
ped on the starter of the auto
mobile her husband normally
drove. A bomb exploded.
