On September 81 the four others

October at Faribault, where, being adj
]vised that they could not be sentenced
to death if they pleaded guilty, they
did so, and were sentenced to penal
servitude at Saltwater for their natur-
al lives.
Two years ago the state senate
passed bill granting the Youngers a
parole, and it would have passed in
the house had not the friends of the
dead cashier of the Northfield bank
protested against this clemency. 1t
was never established that any of the
Younger brothers were responsible for
the death of any of the victims of the

now and ever since their incarceration
they have been model prisoners.
