He received his inj s while perpetrating a robbery, and his sensational career is soon to end. He has for years plundered the country round, has acted as a fence for other robbers, and possessed one of the finest kits of burglars’ tools His daring ree- ever turned out. “ ord has seldom been equaled in the annals of romance. A ruthless robber by nights, he became in the daytime apparently an exemplary citi- zen. He took a leading part in the de- velopment of local affairs in Sheffield, and his contributions to public enter- prises and churches enabled him for years to conceal his true identity and to carry on his nefarious business al- most with impunity. As the force of habit grew upon him he became bold- er, and finally was shot in one of his burglarious exploits. The grand jury has returned ti indictments against Ably and fixed bail at $15,500.
