Irish Jimmy Involved i'm Confession.
Even this array Of robberies sinks
into inSignifiCanCe when compared to
that with which Irish Jimmy's"
name was connected when West
Philadelphia nh"nv made his now
famous "snitch, or squeal, while an
inmate Of the Vermont State Prison.
In confessing to the crimes IN which
he had participated Johnny" in
volved Jimmy" "Portland Ned" and
others.
Following this bank raid detectives
and post office inspectors were so
close on the trail Of the band that
they split up, each going in a differ
ent direction, and several weeks
elapsed before they got together
again. A meeting was arranged for
Whpra nd
from the sale Of the stolen stamps
were equally divided between the
participants. Irish Jimmy" Char
ley" Cross and "Portland Ned" then
met by appointment in Townsend,
Del, where three stores were enter
ed. The trio was in search of the
post office and as no lookout or loca-
tor had gone on ahead they had their
nights work for naught. Although
the safe in each store was blown, lit
tie or no cash was found and the
stock that was stolen amounted to
little.
Better luck attended the band in
its next effort. Connecticut Shorty"
portland Ned" "Charley" Cross and
Irish Jimmy" met in Sandy Springs,
Md, Jimmy having located" the
bank of that little town as a promis-
ing candidate for blowing. Ned"
blew the outer door Of the vault and
1T fell with crash, almost knocking
the soup operator senseless. The
inner door was "jimmied" and a few
hundred dollars procured when a
warning cry from the stick ups" on
the outside came in time for "Ned"
and Shorty" to climb out Of a rear
window. The first blast had aroused
a dweller in the vicinity, who, in
stead of sounding an alarm, quietly
set to work to call few neighbors
to aid him in an attempt to round
up the band. The attempt proved
futile, for all escaped after a run
ming fight in which there was a lively
interchange of shots.
From then until the bank and post
office jobs in New York State result
ed in "Jimmy's" capture, he and
Charley" Cross operated alone,
steering clear of Portland Ned" and
Mccarthy. They made many rich
hauls and had many narrow escapes,
but luck attended them and Jimmy"
was heard of no further until his SEN
sational outcry in the Federal court,
when he was turned over to the
North Carolina depu', for a long
term in prison.

about two weeks ago when Jake Ma
