ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — A closer look through the history of St. Joseph’s infamous criminals will be the focus of an upcoming program at the East Hills Library.

On Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. Dr. Kim Schutte will share details on St. Joseph’s lesser-known version of Bonnie and Clyde from the 1930s: Clarence and Juanita Spargur.

Much like Bonnie and Clyde, the Spargur’s exploits made numerous headlines in the Midwest throughout the mid-1930’s.

The upcoming presentation is intended for adults 18 and over. It will be held at the East Hills Library located at 502 N. Woodbine Road.
