I read this info on an Old West Site. No details or contact person.

Has anyone seen this info? Do not know what state, etc. It was posted, had to come from someplace.

Anxious to hear the rest of the story! Thanks

Miner’s next associate in crime was a farmhand named Arthur Pond. On September 1, 1880, they stole $50 and two mail sacks in Ohio city. On October 14, they held up a stagecoach on the Del Norte route, and hit a jackpot of $4,000. To elude authorities, Miner and Pond changed their names to William A. Morgan and Billy LeRoy. The authorities were not fooled. Pond was soon caught and sentenced to 10 years, although he escaped. He met first with his brother, then Miner, and a new spree began. The Del Norte route was attacked on May 15 and again on May 18, 1881. While Miner was buying supplies with this new money, the Pond brothers were caught and lynched by a mob of angry citizens outside the jail house. The loss of these boys did not derail Miner.

Thanks for the reply. I will search for the book as suggested. Mary

Berry, I found the book, "A Gathering of Wolves" and it was very interesting. I was interested in finding out about Arthur Pond alias Billy LeRoy. Where he came from and etc. I am still curious but certain I will never know, where he picked up the alias. I am researching LeRoy's from LA to TX to TN. We are at a deadend, so you try everything. I find no connection with this story. Thanks, for sharing the info for research. ML

Thanks for sharing this info with me.
