iFrom the 'Se,crtt Band of Brothers; br the American Out
laws," a wo.k by J. II. Green, thafteformed Gambler, now in
piess, and shortly to be published. : .
T have frequently, in the course "of my work, had
to notice the very intimate connections which those
concerned in the adminlstralion'of Justice, or os
tensibly in the suppression of crime, had with
those who perpetrate it. Tn all our Yaroe cities-
. , o '
this occasionally forces itself Into publifc notice.
Anxious as the authorities always are to conceal
any thing of -this kind, it accidentally leaks out.
xThe opportunity for concealment, and the advan
tages afforded by official station, have not been
overlooked bv'the' Brothers, and the police of eve
ry -city- contains several of-'t Ho 'fraternity: ' Tn all
fairness, h6vvcv'er, lhe great mass of crime con
nected with "such establishnieiits'Bught hot to be
laid to their Charge! The very wish to be connec
ted with, the police, indicates a morbid disposition
of tho mind a desire to be familiar with crime :
for it is necessary to detect it successfully, to come
in contact frequently, with the criminal. Incon
sequence, by familiarity,-clime loses, ils. enormity,
the police officer sees how seldom the perpetrator
is detected; how often, when detected, he escapes
unwhipped of. justice; -he' connives it'sdine "petty
offence, in the.'hope of entrapping the criminal in
some inore flagrant act, and tampers with crime,
till the little moral sensibility he had when he en
tered the service is destroyed. This is obvious
ly a true picture of human, nature; but 1 must pro
cecdjwith ther story which suggested these, remarks.
... In no city of the Union has the depredations of
the, Band pfBro.thers been more extensive. :than in
Cincinnati, Ohio, yet there, seems to bet a prevail
iiig wish, entertained even by those who have wit
nessed their ravages, to doubt, the existence of any
such organization. NTor am I surprised at this in
credulity the' thought that we are surrounded by
hundreds of individuals, sworn to protect arid as
sist one another.in their ravages'upon our lives and
property is "no . very' pleasant prospect for contem
plation. Sincerely I wish it were, inerely a dream
of the night, but the unaccountable and sudden
downfall of some of the most respeqtable and tal-j
ented families of that city convince that it yet ex- j They were arrested and identified by the mangled
istsin .txll its awful realities. . In confirmation ofjdroVer; and the citizens, knowing the desperate
thi3 I will introduce the history of one family, character of the elder brother,' who had served ah
"guarding myself as much as' possible from saying
any tiring-that might hurt the feelings' ofany oft fie
'relatiys yel living. It consisted of five boys at I hung them both. . Thus ended t'he'life of tli.e el
'lcast that number is all that h'as come under : my dest of the bVothers ! the 1 third Wlid had suffered
notice; the eldQst. ai.ihe'aoe of.sjxtecn, connected
himself with bad associates, was committed to; the
jail on a charge of theft, and. convicted. In
time the next brother followed in the same
iamLsharcd the same fame. The remaining. chil -
dreh were yet young, and to preserve .them, from
the vicious habits, of the. elder oriesi the father-kept
them at hard labor every day. We are not inti
.mately acquainted with the bharacterof thefath'er,
ustry and could hot be suspected of training
them in dishonest practices. The eldest son was
pardoned, or served his time out, we forge.l which, j
and came home to his fathers house; but was soon
but never heard any thing laid' to his charge but. we are quite within the mark, if we attribute p'rie
that he' was a dissipated, and :sd far; an immoral 'eighth of the robberies committed in large cities,

: This same year of his death the third brother
got into 'difficult)', and was'serifenced to iiie Pen
itenti'aryl foV three years. Before the expiation of
his se'nterfcpjlie fourth was convicted. The'fifth
boy at this .time was about seventeen, and he too
was' caughr stealing, convicted, and received his
sentence,. about the time the, -fourth regained his
libertv,. r, v . - , , . . .
Tile third brother, after serving the specified per j
riod in what is called the Penitentiary, tOok: his
Vay south vhere lie'vvas again committed for rob
bery, and sentenced to five years' confinemetit in
the Louisiana State Prison. At the expiration 'of
that period he started for home, but when near the
island of Sixty-six on the Mississippi, he conclu
ded to take a trunk nhd' jump 'over-board. This
feat he accomplished successfully' but unluckily
for him, it wa ih the ame yUar ili'tvhich so many
outlaws were put to death by the citizens, and
having connected himself with a band who wine
at that time flooding the river with counterfeit coin,
negro-stealing, and ibdulging in all manner of vil-
lany, he was taken by a company and with about
forty others put to death, some being shot, and
others tied up in sacks ahdt thrown into the Mi's
sisstppt. The fifth brother wasnriwTn the Ohio' Peniten
tiary, tho fourth in the" r Indiana State Prison, but
the' eldest brother was released from confinement,
and returned td'Cincinnali. His long confinement',

trace' of the thieves could be found, by which they
could be detected. The most vigilant mea'ns were
used, and many were sent to the jails and peni

those committed at this period, was the fifth bro

The lawyer unscrupulously pockets a fee, which
he knows has been obtained by the plunder of the
citizens. TsTdt a few of them hang about our jails,
prying into the means bi" the prisoners, and divide
with them the 'spoil,' sheltering themselves from
communicating any' disclosures they make under
their judicial privileges. But irjus'tfce be the end
