Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A League of Justice: Or Is It Right to Rob Robbers? Four men met together in the garret where one of them lived. They were the trusted clerks of great commercial houses. Through the hands of each passed daily sums equal to fortunes. They were men of devoted honesty; not one but would have died rather than take for himself a penny of his employers´ funds. The salary of two of these men was nine hundred dollars a year. The others received one thousand each. They were also allowed a vacation of two weeks in the summer. With families or friends to support, their salaries did not take them far from the town during this resting time. They were not old men, but a look of age was upon each of their faces, and all were prematurely gray. They spoke with grave faces. Evidently they had come too far in life to act from ill-balanced enthusiasm. They took no oath of fidelity to one another, nor to the cause they were undertaking. An oath would not have deepened their loyalty. One of them said: "If we are skillful and do not take amounts too large, we may hope to escape detection five or even ten years.
