Three men visited Kingston September 24, 1919. The men drove into town in a Buick-Six touring car. They were all dressed in hunting clothes, which wasn't unusual given the area and the time of year. But they didn't seem to be in any hurry to do any hunting. Instead, they hung around town, walking the streets, standing next to their car smoking, and talking. Finally, a little after noon, they ambled into the local café and had a bite to eat. Stretching their dinner out as long as they could, they paid their bills and walked back to their car. They got in and drove out of town. About a mile out of town, they pulled over, got out, and removed the car's license plates. Jumping back in, they turned around and headed back into town where two of the men were deposited at 1:30 pm in front of the Kingston State Bank, the only bank in town. The third man stayed in the car.
