I think the third holdup undertaken by these men was the most remarkable that ever occurred in all the history of train robberies.
I do not mean that the result of it was so remarkable or that it was attended by peculiar adventures. But the cool nerve exhibited by Mooney-his deliberate assumption of enormous risk, and his plan to draw the attention of the authorities from his confederate-marks the affair as without equal. The plan, too, to get away with what was taken in the robbery was wholly original. In all record of criminal methods I have never known this plan to be adopted by anybody else.
