Hcdycpcth, the train robbcr who led

sentenced to twenty-five years i'll til"

adorlls this tale is well worth reading.
1t is the old story: "Bc sure your SIN

He got the lions share of SlS,nop. So

over Il thousand miles from til" scene
of his crime. 1t seems that the very
walls of the houses that sheltered him
cried out against him. He was an
enemy of society and. though he WAS
unknown. society unconSclously ap-
prarcd to treat him as such. 1t was as
though society had conSpircd to ban
iSh the unruly member. Since his cap
turc llCdgrpeth has made Il hard fight
to avert the descending sword of jus
ticr. He was eighteen months max
ing the fight. but it resulted in his de-
feat. 1t was Hcdgcpcth single handed
battling with the civilized society of
the world. Even his attorney desert
ed him at the last, and only his wife
stood beside him in the courtroom
when the sentence fell
As it was with Hedgcpeth. so it will
be with others who are tempted to
fight against law and order. Train
robhing at the first blarc of the trum-
pet does not seem an easy way of ac-
uuiring money, vet of all the mcrcc-
nary crimes it is the most hazardous.
The wave of highway robbery which
seems now to be SubSiding will carry
so many convictions in its wake that
il will he many years before bandits
will venture out again. Already the
thieves are getting their deserts. The
st. Joseph robbers were met with JUS

bandits are in custody. and only Il few
months intervene between them and

In fact. of i'll the hghwaymrn who
have shocked the people of the country
