Philadelphia (PA) Inquirer, April 4, 1867, p. 2. DARING ROBBERY AT JEFFERSONVILLE, IND. The Railroad Cashier's Office Robbed of $20,000 [From the New Albany, Indiana, Ledger, March 21 (difficult to read)] This morning about two o'clock, one of the most daring and successful robberies ever perpetrated in this section of the state was committed at the office of the Jeffersonville Railroad Company at the foot of Wall Street, Jeffersonville. During the past three days, Paymaster Sanders has been busily engaged in preparing the payrolls of the employees along the line of the road and had finished his labors at a late hour last night, placing the money in a large tin box ready to go out on the pay train this morning. Before leaving his office everything was securely locked, and as he passed out between eleven and twelve o'clock, the night watchman, Patrick Dean, was on duty as usual. About two o'clock, a man in a disguise with a carpet sack in his hand rapped at the door of the lobby which was opened by Dean when the man inquired if the house was a hotel. Dean, thinking him a benighted traveler, opened wide the door and stepped to the threshold to direct him when four men, who were secreted near the door, sprang upon him and threatened his life if he gave the alarm. The watchman, although in their power, was inclined to make a noise, but a blow over the head with a pistol felled him to the floor, and the thieves then proceeded to bind, blindfold and gag him. After this was done, he was carried upstairs and, while two stood guard, the others, supposed to be six in number, went to the paymaster's room on the second floor. They endeavored to pry open the door but, failing in this, they broke open the window on the north side and gained an entrance. The first object that attracted their attention was the tin box that they broke open and robbed of about $20,000 and some records and memoranda. The records and memoranda being taken, the paymaster is unable to tell the exact amount stolen, but the above figures are supposed to cover the loss. The watchman says the party was not over three quarters of an hour accomplishing their purpose, and the party who stood guard over him called him by name and asked at what hour Mr. Sanders left the office. The voice of one was familiar to him, but the disguise of the party was so complete, all being in black and wearing soldier overcoats, that he could not call to mind who any of them were. After securing their booty, the scoundrels left Dean bound and gagged on the floor. In about an hour one of them returned and partially unbound his arms and then fled. Dean soon released himself and went out in search of a policeman whom he soon found, and instantly a search was instituted. In an open lot about one square from the scene of the robbery, the tin box, several overcoats and two sledge hammers were found. In the paymaster's office, the robbers had left a cooper's axe, a screw driver and a chisel that had been taken from a cooper shop. The rascals evidently were prepared to blow open the safe, but the money found in the tin box seemed to satisfy them and, consequently, that strong box was left uninjured. Officer Blythe of Louisville, Marshal Akers of New Albany and Marshal Baxter of Jeffersonville have the affair in charge and will do all in their power to bring the guilty parties to justice.
