The story of the Crime

On the night of March 27, 1900, five
men beat Night Watchman Clayton OF
the Standard Oil company, into insen
sibility at the office of the company
in the outskirts of Birmingham and
blowing open the safe robbed it OF
several hundred dollars. Shortly af-
ter midnight that night Policeman ].
w. Adams and G. w. Kirkley arrest.
ed two men in the heart of the city on
suspicion of being two of the robbers.
While enroute to jail the suspects
broke away from the officers and fred
upon them, killing Kirkley and fatally
w0lnding Adams
A few days later two of the robbers
were arrested in Admission and three
In Chattanooga, former member OF
the gang having meanwhile informed
on them. Among those arrested were
Frank Miller and Frank Duncan, both
of whom were identified by Policeman
Adams just before he died as the mur.
derers. They were tried first for the
murder of Adams, Miller getting a
death sentence and Duncan life impris.
onment. Miller was hanged June %,
1901. Later Duncan was given a
death sentence for the murder of Kirk.
ley, but escaped from Jail here in Jan.
uary, 1902, while his appeal was before
the supreme court. A few weeks ago
he was recaptured in Florida, where
he had just robbed a bank and was
brought back here and re-sentenced.
Both Miller and Duncan, while not de.
nying participation in the safe robbery,
protested their innocence of the two
murders laying them to one New
York Harry" an elleged member of
their gang, it being admitted that Mil.
Ter was with New York Harry at the
time, but only fired his pistol in the
air
Miller and Duncan were known to
the police all over the country and
were said to be noted safe-bIowers.
Duncan was paroled from the Illinois
penitentiary in January, 1899, where
he was serving a term for burglary.
John D. West, Tom Fay and Frank Ed.
wards, three other members of the
gang, were given long terms in the AL.
ALBANIA penitentiary for their part in
the standard oil safe robbery. Because
Of the desperate character of Duncan
and covert threats from friends on the
outside, great precautions were taken
at his execution.
