Industry
Early on October 14, 1872, bank robbers entered this building, roused the cashier, and forced him to open the safe. After binding and gagging all occupants, they left with half a million dollars worth of cash, securities, and jewelry. Once they were caught, tried, and acquitted, some of the booty was recovered by compromise. The jurors then enjoyed a banquet by the kindness of the liberated leader.
