>From "Memoirs of Old Princeton" by Harrison W. Straley, II: "I remember distinctly the occasion when Frank James came to Princeton for the purpose of robbing the Bank of Princeton. I can now close my eyes and see the man distinctly, and I even remember the texture of his overcoat which was of the reversible kind, as was worn in those days. the Bank of Princeton was saved from robbery in the first place, because it was so insignificant and dilapidated in appearance that Frank James doubtless considered that an attempt to rob such a pigmy of a bank would be a reflection upon his skill as a burglar; and the second reason was, not doubt, the fact that Judge Johnston*, vice president of the bank and a Civil War veteran, invited Frank James to his home for dinner and the James brothers uniformly refused to rob a banking institution presided over and owned by an ex-Confederate soldier." *Judge David E. Johnston, son of Oscar F. and Elizabeth Straley Johnston) was born in Giles County, VA, April 10, 1846 and married Sarah E. Pearis, 1868-69. He enlisted in the Confederate army when 16;: Company D. Ninth Virginia Regiment, and served through the war. Wounded at the battle of Gettysburg. Rebecca Beeman Shumaker
