The sudden death of Ilobert A. Plnker
. Ion tho other day whlla on a . health

lar Interest In the big penitentiaries rf
the United States. There la no federal
prison In the country, and hardly a state
prison which ' does not hold one or
more prisoners who owe their, rapture
. more or less directly to him. "Pinker
ton Is dead!" ran from tier to tier, and
the big criminals heaved a sigh of te
ller They hope to get out some day,
and the fear of Robert A. Plnkerton vtn
stronger in their breasts than the fear
of the law. They will still have his
brother, William, to reckon with, but of
tho two sons of Allan Plnkerton, the
famous elvlt war' secret servleo man,
Robert was the moat feared. His knowl
edge criminal faces was almost un
canny la Us ettnt .and accuracy, and
his keeaneas In ' determining the work
of old bands from the way the Job was
don was almost as if. they had left
their buslaesa cards behlad.
The big 4etectlvo Jobs which Robert A.
Plnkerton directed and participated In
the overthrow of the Molly Magulres and
th Homestead riots, for Instance hav
been revived In public memory by the
obituary notices recently published.
There are, however, scores of Instances
of "Bob's" personal daring and per
sistency' which have never been nul
llshed. Sentence of death had been
passed on him times without number by
criminals whoa arrest he bad accoro

sponsible for most of these robberies, and
that their bad example caused other wild
youths to form train robbing bands.
After the Reno Band.
"Robbery after robbery occurred," said
William A. Plnkerton recently In discussing
this phase of their activity, "but the
powerful Influence of the henos and des
perate Intimidations made conviction next
to Impossible. Farmers supposed to be
Inimical to the band and their' friends
were terrorised, had their cattle poisoned
and maimed and their homes .and barns
burned, until practically a reign of terror
existed all over southern Indiana."
After the Reno brothers had robbed the
county treasurer's office at Gallatin, Mo.,
of $:t),0Cl, Robert A. Plnkerton evolved a
scheme which resulted In their first Water
loo. John Reno, lAjder of the band, had
returned to Seymour, Ind., not fearlag ex
tradition from his stronghold. Plnkerton
had a detective decoy him to the railway
station by a ruse. A train came In on
which were si deputies of the Missouri
sheriff. They pounced on Reno and pulled
him aboard the train. There was no time
for habeas corpus or any other legal for
mality to prevent his removal. The wires
were cut so that no detaining dispatches
could get ahead of the train and Reno
was kept on the Jump until he was finally
landed In Jail at Gallatin. He was sen
tenced to twenty years in the penitentiary
and served every day of his time.
On of the most dangerous bandit pur
suits which Robert A. Plnkerton led In
person and which will long be remembered
at th Plnkerton headquarters followed
th first raiding expedition or the James
arid Younger brothers.
It was on June 3. 1871. that the combined
band of outlaws visited Corydon, Wayne
county, Iowa, having learned that the
county treasurer had a large store of re
cently collected taxes. Jesse James en
tered th treasurer's otllce, asking for
change fr a $100 bill.
"Th treasurer has the combination of
the safe," said the man In charge, sus
pecting nothing, "and he's attending a
meeting gut .in the grove. They're talking
over th building of a new school house."
Jam was going out arter the county
offlrlal when th clerk remarked that a
new bank had opened across th street,
and that, h could probably get chang
ther.
James led the gang across th street,
and at ' th point of their revolver got
$18,000. half th bank's capital, which had
Just been deposited. As they wer going
out th door they met a negro preaoher
coming lnto open an account: He had his
money In VI hand, and they made him
drop It Iqlo tnelr saddlebags.

counties. Just before the miiifI im.
was reached all the posse except an Iowa
sheriff decided they had had enouarh hard
riding and returned home.
The sheriff and Plnkerton rode on In.
gether as far as Cameron Junction, a
crossroad station. There, on the excuse
of getting more help, the sheriff turned
oacK. Plnkerton rode on alone Into the
heart of the bandit country. With his
life in his hands he followed th band to
the home of the James bovs. In Clav
oounty, determined where they had crossed
the Missouri river after separating and lo-
oatea the old Blue mill, where they all
came together again. Having Identified the'
robbers', Plnkerton decided to wait for a
more favorable opportunity for their cap
ture. Three years later Joseph Wltcher, oneof
Plnkerton's most trusted detective., was
captured by Jess James in th vicinity,
bound with ropes and killed while bound.
"Bob" Plnkerton never let up on the mem
bers of this band, and the three Younger
brothers wer finally surrounded in a
swamp, captured and sentenced tq life
Imprisonment at Stillwater. Minn. "Bob"
Younger died In prison In and Cole
and "Jim" Younger were pardoned In
1901. Cole committed suicide In St. Paul a
year later. Jesse James was shot In the
back by "Bob" Ford, a former member
of the James gang. Ford was sentenced
to tieath. but was pardoned by the gov
ernor of Missouri and received the S10.C00
reward which hung over Jesse James'
head. Frank James gave himself up and
was acquitted of the Gallatin bank j-obbery.
Governor Crlttendon refused to surrender
him to the Minnesota authorities, and the
last "Bob" Plnkerton heard of him ' was
that he was leading an honest life In west
ern Missouri.
One of Robert A. Plnkerton's narrowtsl
escapes from death followed his captura
of Levy Farrington, one of a band who
had held up and robbed a Mobile & Olilo
express train near Farmlngton, III.
Plnkerton took his man to fnlon City,
Tenn., for trial. A "bad man" name.
Toler, one of tho members of the suns,
attempted to rescuo Farrington. lie bl.ot
at Plnkerton, who had the bandit In
charge, but the bullet struck and kilUJ
an assistant ctty marshal. In an en
deavor to escape Toler killed a railroad
watchman before he was finally cap
tured. A vigilance committee wa rpecdlly
formed to lynch Toler and the trln
robber. Pinkerton determined to rescue
th men, and did succeed in getting t)
of the band out of town. The vig
llantes.however, shot and killed Farring

Plnkerton was Instrumental In run

a complete confession from Fly, who de
clared he had met the other members of
the band while serving a sentence In the
Missouri penitentlsry.
Once He Was Pooled.
"Bob" Plnkerton had perhaps the largest
collection of threatening letters ever ad
dressed to one man in this country. He
saved many of the Interesting ones and
shoved them to his friends. No matter
how 'dire a fate the letters pictured he
wa never disturbed. Among others who
threatened hi Ufa In letters wa "Pat"
Crowe, who became notorious as the kid
naper of Eddie Cudohy, son of the Omaha
packer, for which crime he was acquitted,
through some strange miscarriage of west
ern Justice. Crowe blamed the Pinkertons
for his imprisonment for robbing a Chicago,
Burlington A Qulncy train, near St. JoHcph.
He wrote from the Missouri state prison,
but like most of the writers, never followed
up his threats.
Possessing a ken sense of humor, "Bob"
Plnkerton loved a Joke, and U'd not hesi
tate to tell a stoty on himself. Shortly
before he sailed for Europe he related this
tale of a hoax played by four young men
who were fellow pussengers on a train from
Chicago.
"My attention was attracted to the
quartet In the smoking compartment of
the Pullman," said Mr. Plpkerton, "because
three of them wer carefully pouring the
drinks which they took from a quart bot
tle Into the cuspidore when th fourth was
r.ot looking. This fourth fellow had a
great deal of valuable Jewelry about his
person and was obviously very drunk. I
watched their maneuver quietly for soin'.
time.
'.'Finally to my surprise and Indignation
I saw on of trier, take a vial from' hl
pocket and pour ten drop into tho drink
which was Intended for the chap with the
Jewelry. It was the most brax"n and
daring case of 'knockout drops' I h;id ever
encountered.
"Now. you might suppose that It was up
to mo right then to 'rut 1n," but It wasn't.
A man can't r t the full punishment for
'knockout drops' until they have actually
been administered. So I kept my hand o.it
of the business Until I could see the end
of the play.
"The youth who had handled the vial
handed the 'doped' drlr.k to the intoxliated
chap, who drank It ereedlly. Then he
gradually sank Into a stupor, yielding to
the effects nf the drug. . His mouth hung
open and he was nelpless. Then the threi
actually began to atrip their victim of the
Jewelry.
"I reached th door of the smoking com
partment In three Jumps.
" 'Pretty coarse work, sons." I said, Just
showing them th gun I had In my hands,
but not levelling It at them. 'I am sur
prised that you are so foolish as to think
that you ran get away with th goods In
such a fashion. My name Is Plnkerton.
and th three of you can consider your
selves under arrest.'
"Th young fellow who was being robbed
lumbered on. with hi mouth wide open,
and th other three looked terribly alarmed.
