Repudiating Pinkerton’s view of the train robbery

Allen Pinkerton, the detective, in speaking of the James boys in connection with the recent train robbery, makes the wholesale charge that the people of Clay and adjoining counties would harbor and shield them from law. Pinkerton, as you safely and easily sit in your cosy office hundreds of miles from here, writing your dirty lies about the people of this section, do you ever think of telling the public about that murder you and yours committed in Clay county several years ago? How you, in cold blood, murdered an innocent child who never harmed you, and at the same time blew off the arm of a defenseless old woman! Let us have it all, Pinkerton, while you are at it.
