Cheyenne, Wyo.,
Nov. 18. – Local officers who had much to do with the
“Hole-in-the-Wall” and “Robbers’ Roost” gangs of outlaws
in this State during the past five years and who are acquainted with
every member say they are almost certain that the man under arrest
in St. Louis for attempting to pass bank bills taken by the men who
robbed the Great Northern train at Wagner, Mont., in July last, is
no other than Harry Longbaugh.
Old residents of
the State who have known Longbaugh since he was a boy say the
description of the prisoner answers that of Longbaugh. United States
Marshal F.A. Hadsell knows Longbaugh well and feels certain he would
be able to identify him.
Ex-Warden
McDonald of the State penitentiary says he believes the prisoner is
Butch Cassidy, the noted train and bank robber, who served a number
of years in the Wyoming penitentiary. |
