CAPTAIN BRoNAUGH'S WORK.
Missouri Man Worked for Young

Captain Wall c Bronaugh OF Clinton.
No, for quarter OF century spent time
and money In persistent effort to secure
delivery OF Cole and Jim Younger, who
had been confined IN the saltwater Peniten-
tiary for the Nor1hfeld bank robbery, and
had at last succeeded.
Actuated by a friendship born Of 4 com
radeship OF the Civil War Captain Bronaugh
sacrificed not only his time but a great deal
OF his own private fortune in the effort
in behalf of the Youngers-
He was the rs; man to grasp the hand
OF the two memberS Of Quantrelrs famous
band after the Minnesota Pardon Board
had granted them parole. T. Ess consid-
cred BETTING that their lifelong friend
should have been first to break the s.7d
tidlngs TO the men who had not enjoyed
liberty for twenty-five years
Undaunted by repeated failure. Captain
Bronaugh had perss;ently brought petI-
lions from three Missouri legislatures in
behalf OF the YOungers. and had obtained
letters Of appeal from prominent men in
Missouri politics. in business. In law and
from ali szelKious creeis.
Captain Bronsngh,s battle for tbs free
dom OF his friends began shortly after they
were sentenced and lasted until the Peni-
tentiary gates opened and the Younges
were once more in the open air.
Among the reasons in the appeal for the
pardon OF the Youngers was that they had
been in prison for more than twenty, years:
that during this entire period their beha-
vior had been excellent; that every inten-
tion OF the law had been fulfilled in that
the punishment for the violation OF Il had
been ample and complete; that. II restored
again 10 freedom, almost the entire popu-
lation OF the State OF Missouri would stand
secure for their becoming law-abidIng citi-
Eens; and that they were now old men.
and that Il was believed that the spirit OF
Christian charity and mercy had suggested
that they be permitted TO spend the few
remaining days among their friends and
relatives. many OF whom are numbered
among the best families OF Missouri
The petition was penned by Major John
y. Edwards and placed in the hands Of
Captain Brenaugh. who secured the sigma
ture Of the State Legislators. and was carried
by him personally 70 the Governor.
During his quarter Of a century OF i'm
prisonment Cole Younger was the center

vented by the Pardon Board.

actress. made many visits to the Jail to see
the prisoner. and II was generally under
