...Sentinel's pictures, spread all over Page One one morning last week, were all the evidence Milwaukee police needed to arrest John Allen Thomas, 44, a Brink's guard assigned to collect nickels from parking meters under a contract with the city. Tipped more than a month ago that most of Thomas' take was winding up in his own pocket, the Sentinel called in the police. Together they worked out their plan for trapping the coin pilferer with Conklin's camera. Confronted with graphic evidence of his guilt, Thomas confessed stealing nearly $500 in nickels...

As a SNCC worker, he must have known the dangers he was facing in Mississippi; Allen witnessed the killing of a fellow SNCC member, Herbert Lee, in 1961. Last March four other voter registration workers were wounded by gunfire...
