The Daily Dispatch: December 11, 1860., [Electronic resource], The young mail Robber. (search)
The young mail Robber. --The train boy who was arrested at Chicago for robbing Western mails of $10,000, assumed the name of Wm. H. Hudson, in order to shield his relatives from the disgrace of his present condition. He is the son of a retired Scotch clergyman, residing in Michigan. His parents are pious and excellent people, and have striven by every means in their power to check the waywardness of their son, who left them some three years ago to carve out his fortunes for himself, runHe was drunk on the discovery, and so less cautious, and the other events have followed. He makes a full confession, and, indeed, everything is too clear against him to admit of a defence. He is entirely broken down by his terrible position, and wept bitterly, pleading that his fictitious name of Hudson might be kept up, in order to shield his friends, and particularly his mother, from a knowledge of his inevitable fate, doomed to pass long years of his young manhood within prison walls.
