 Twenty-six years old, Hamby looks the thoughtful student. Yet. accord ing to his own tale, he has robbed many banks and stores in typical Wild West manner, and has killed several men who tried to frustrate him.
 After the shooting and robbery at the Brooklyn bnk Hamby remained two weeks in the city and then went to Tacoma, Wash, stopping at the home of Robert Davis, 8 shipHard worker on strike. FIamby and Davis were engaged at revolver target practice. An argument arose regard ing the efficacy of shooting from the holster as compared with shooting from the pocket.
