LEWIS, THE ROBBER
AND OUTLAW.
Local History and Romance.
Continued from last issue.
To resume, after this digres
sion, the young married couple
started from Albany for New
York City. Still fearing pursuit,
at first they avoided the well trav
elled highway but Malinda's feet
caused her trouble, and they de
cided to seek the highway in hope
of engaging passage for her in
sonie, wagon heading for New
York. A Yankee wagon was stum
met and passage engaged to the
city for Malinda while the owner
and Lewis walked. Lewis found
the man shrewd and intelligent.
The Yankee advised him to steer
clear of New England, but urged
him to gointoPennsylvania where
the great part of the population
were easily imposed upon, being
credulous and unsuspecting.
He stated that his traveling breth
ren made out better in that State
than any other and when their
plans and tricks succeeded with
out.discovery, among themselves
they called it "lifting Germany."
In New York, wandering about
late at night, Lewis soon found
congenial friends bent on the same
mission as himself. It was hot
long before he had evolved out of
his brain apian for an Association
to enable these fellows, who prey
ed on society, to actin concert and
share together the plunder. The
association was formed on the
same principlesand with the same
officers as a bank. Certain rules
and regulations were adopted and,
to make them more binding, it was
suggested that they be written in
the blood of the members. The
suggestion was acted upon and
these outlaws gathered at their
rendezvous at an hour when hon
est men were asleep. Kneeling
in a circle and clasping hands, a
vein in the arm was pierced and a
basin, held by a member, caught
the dripping blood.
It was a gruesome sight in the
weird light, and what a character
study these faces of hardened
criminalspledging their faith
and honor with their life's blood.
There were twenty-one mem
bers and among them some des
perate, blood-thirsty villains.
Fictitious names were given the
members, and that applied to Lew
is was "Harry Hurricane." The
fruits of 1 robberies, burglaries,
thefts, frauds and all crimes com
mitted by the gang-were debit
ed in a vault, a record kept of them
and on every Sunday night, at
Official Vote of Fulton County,
November ?, 1899.

midnight, a distribution was
nuule. The gang did a thriving
business and were successful be
yond all expectations.
Lewis, on one occasion, did a
neat bit of shop lifting. There
was a swell ladies auction room
on Broadway. Lounging about
with eyes open on the main
chance Lewis noticed a carriage
drive up, and recognised Mrs.
John Jacob Aster, whose wealthy
husband he had heard was very
liberal in supplying Madam with
pin money. She entered the auc
tion room .and he soon followed
and, "dressed like a gentleman,
he saluted the ladies with all the
graceful ease of an old acquaint
ance." Mrs. Aster purchased
and placed in her velvet bag valu
able lace and jewelry and careless
ly threw the bag on a bench, in a
remote- corner of the room. She
was soon surrounded by a crowd
of admiring friends, and in 1 he an
imated conversation that took
place, thelittle bagwas quiteover
lM)ked. Lewis sauntered leisure
ly around to the bench, picked up
the contents, deftly thrust it in
the bosom of his coat and cooly
walked out. This rich prize was
the cause of his leaving the asso
ciation. A misunderstanding a
rose on account of a small piece
of lace hehad given his wife, which
finally resulted in a row during
which Lewis was badly beaten by
the gang and he quit them.
He proceeded to New Bruns
wick, N. J., but the place did not
oifer a favorable field for his oper
ations. Hearing of Princeton
College and that many students
were from the South, he conclud
ed there must be "many empty
heads and full purses, " especially,
as Christmas holidays were com
ing. For the benefit of the Prince
tonians present I will give in
Lewis' own words his exjierience
at their Alma Mater and at the
same time will be revealed the
versatile character of the subject
of this sketch: "As soon as Ma
linda was able to leave her room
and attend to her domestic con
cerns, I set out in the first stage
that offered. for Princeton, and
having assumed the character,
the airs, and consequence of a
Georgia planter, I soon succeeded
in introducing myself to the pro
fessors, and in order to further my
schemes, I gave out that my ob
ject was to procure a berth in the
college for my brother, whose ar
rival I expected immediately aft
er the expiration of the holidays.
I sought every opportunity to
court the society and gaiu the
good opinion of the young men
with whom I contracted un ac
quaintance. Passing for a man
of fortune, singing a good song
and being able to 'crack a bottle'
with the best of them, I was invit
ed .to most of their convivial part
ies, at which cards being intro
duced, I was a voluntary loser at
first, and apparently played with
so much carelessness and ignor
ance that the jioor youths began
to boast of their plucking the
Georgia pigeon.' But alas, in
less than three nights, during
which our sittings were from five
o'clock in the afternoon to five in
the morning, I not only recovered
all I Viad lost, but won at least
three hundred dollars of the mon
ey which their foolish parents had
remitted them."
From Princeton Lewis went to
Philadelphia and for a short time
(Iterated in the same manner an
he had done in New, York. Ho
was planning to kidnap Mr.
Girard, but was called to New
Brunswick by the dangerous ill
ness of his little daughter, much
to the disgust of his companions
in the Girard plot.
After remaining four weeks he
left his wife and child to join the
army headed for Canada, under
Gen. Smyth, not for patriotism,
but for the plunder and booty in
sight. ,
On the road, he himself went up
against it, as a crowd of fellows,
leagued for the purpose, buncoed
him out of all his money at cards,
but I surmise that he was in the
same condition us some of the

Princeton students and that his
brain was befuddled by liquor.
He was evidently addicted to its !
use. H( was compelled to ask em- j
ployment of a rich farmer and he j
was hired as a teamster. The j
team was soon pressed into the)
United States' service and Lewis j
drove it to the army. There he j
plundered officers and men. It j
was not long until the campaign i
ended and the team was 'given to !
him to be returned to its owner. ;
Instead of justifying the conli- j
denceof hisbouofactor by return- i
iug the team, he started with it
for the Allegheny mountains, in
Pennsylvania, whore he disposed
of it and kept the money. He at-
tributed this ungrateful actyj
which for a long time occasioned
him many a pang, to the strong
desire he had to gratify his appe
tites. He then fied to a cave, and
from this time dates the begin
ning of his career as a robber aud
counterfeiter in this section of
Pennsylvania. It covers the per-,
iod from about 114 to his death
in 18LU
Lewis found in this regio.i un- '
usual opportunities forexercising
his two great accomplishments, j
that of counterfeiting and high- i
way robbery. He manufactured j
counterfeit bills and passed them I
with apparent ease. The Pitts-;
burg pike threaded its way j
through these mountain passes, !
full of traffic and travelers, and '
as it was a common custom in
those days to carry money on the
person, it alfordod a veritable bo-1
nanza to the highway robber.
Lewis and his band hovered a
round this pike as sea gulls follow
a vessel and it was the scene of
most of his operations and gave to j
him mauy a rich jn-ize. !
Lewis was a born leader among j
the criminal class. He was al
ways at the head of his band, sug
gested and planned their opera
tious and directed their move
ments. ,
His exploits and cleverness as
a'crimiual made his Jiiine famous j
and Lewis the Robber was soon i
known throughout this whole
region
I copy the following account of
him: "In IS 18 a band of brig
ands infested Pennsylvania, oper
ating in all parts of the state.
One of the most during bauds was
c.immunded by a desperado,
known as , Robber Lewis. Ho
was a daring fellow, but was nc -er
known to shed blood, although
his followers Connolly and Mug
uire were ready nt any lime to
take life. It seems RoL ber Lew
is did not deserve all ihe con
demnatory reports iu circulation
about him. Many instances of
kindness and a dispo.itioti to help
the needy and distressed by con
tributing to their wants, eharae-1
terized his career."
Lewis began his career in Penn
sylvania by gathering together a j
counterfeiting baud in Somerset
county He came over the moun
tains to Chambersburg, to buy
suitable paper for baak bills
from John Shryock, a. paper
maufacturer, but Shryock for
some reason, declined to sell him
any, Lewis believing that he ins
pected the use that was inionJ.H!
to be made of it. When Shryock
turned his back to speak to a
' party j after n fusing the paper,.
Lewi picked up a sample of the
kind he wanted and went into
i
Virginia and obtained it. Re-1
. r. ... i
lurmng to Somerset tney manu
factured different bank notes and
dividing up what they had made,
started out to pass it, separating
and going into different states,
Lewis however remaining in this
region.
Lewis, on a later occasion,
erected a hut along the South
Mountain, iu Cumberland county,
and with his gang struck off bills
of various denominations, princi
pally on the Philadelphia bank.
He passed off a one hundred dol
lar' bill on a Mr. Anderson, of
Laudisburg, another on a Mr.
Geese, of Newville, both mer
chants, aud passing through
Strasburg, Roxbury and Fau
nettsburg, passed about one
thousaud' dollars of counterfeit
bills. He traded horses at Burnt
Cabins aud gave counterfeit bills
for boot money. When he reach
ed Bedford he deposited tll'teou
hundred dolia:-s in the bank aud
set out to "blow in" the balance.
He began too freely to get rid of
all his manufactured stul,! and
was jailed. He. could easily have
escaped, but his lawyers assured
Mm of an acquittal aud, as he did
net want to lose the fifteen hun
dred d-'liars in bank, ho stood
1 rial. He was convicted aud sent
to the penitentiary in Philadel
phia for ten years, but was par
doned at the end of a year. I re
late this to show what an expert
he was i u manufacturing counter
feit money, stl'ie success with
which he passed it and the ease
with which presumably intelli
gent people wore hoodwinked.
From the names mentioned by
Lfiwis lie did not confine himself
to "lifting Germany" but suc
ceeded also in "throwing down"
the wiley Scotch Irishman as
well.
Lewis combined with counter
feiting, as I have mentioned, that
of highway robbing.
His name was a terror iu all
the re.'- ions oi the State in which
he operated, and when darkness
overtook a traveler on the high
way carrying money, a dread
possessed him lest Lewis might
suddenly spring out in front of
him and demand his money, for
his whereabouts was always a
mystery.
In 1Hir, a German, by name
Simmons, was crossing the
mountains from Belle lout to Lock
Haven. It was a lonely road aud
the houses on it few and far be
tween. He had about two hun
dred dollars on his person, night
overtook him aud visions of Lewis
seized him, aud he imagined that
every clump of bushes might
conceal the dreaded bandit. He
became' paralyzed with fear and
concluded to stop at the first
house he came to. He soon no
ticed a small hut in the woods,
aud on knocking at the door a
handsome man opened it and he
was cordially welcomed in. There
were three other men inside the
room. After a hearty supper he
was invited to smoke with them
around tlu:ir open fireplace, blaz
ing with logs. He became confi
dential and told how much money
iio carried and the dread ho had
of the desperado Lewis and his
gang. The men smiled when ho
mentioned the bandit's name.
After a good night's rest and a
sumptuous breakfast, Simmons
asked what ho owed. His host
replied, "Nothing sir, but you
can inform your friends that you
were the guest of Robber Lewis
and his colleagues." The hut
belonged to the bandits and was
frequently occupied by them.
A number of incidents of this
character, showing his kindness
of heart and generosity, are re
lated. These incidents were but
bright spots iu his character aud
threw a sort of glamor over his
otherwise wild and lawless life.
One of the principal hiding
places of Lew is was the cave I
visited at iJoubling Gap. At the
present time the cave is filled up
nud'thero is not much to identify
it beyond the shelving rocks, but
i;i Lewis' day it was large enough
to accommodate four porsous.
The f; inhabitants in the Gap
welcomed llie arrival of Lewis.
Ho was a gxmiul, jolly, good na
tured fello w and fond of his cups.
Ho eutertained thrun at the little
taveru in the Gap, just below the
cave, and iheir drinking bouts
lasted far into the uiglit. The
tavern keeper had a Hag, Which
could be seen from the cave, and
with it ho would iaform Lewis
that the coast was clear or warn
him of danger.
From this cave ho was accus
tomed to make incursions iuto
the Valley, for after committing
some crime it was an easy matter
for him to regain his hiding placo.
At one period he used to go to
Newville and, under the disguise
of a well-digger, frequented the
; taverns to find out who were the
! richest men in that vicinity in
order to rob them. Ho camo to
! the conclusion that Cant. Sharpe,
I Mr. Clerreat and Mr. McKeehan
j were about the richest men in the
J neighborhood. Ho was told that
Sharpe put his ready money into
laud, Sterrett put his iuto bonds,
so he concluded to rob Mr. Mc
Keehan, who was well advanced
iu years. This old gentleman
was a fine type of Scotch Irish
manhood that in earlier days was
seen in the Valley. Large of
frame and broad shouldered,
with a benevolent, kind face and
wearing, as was his custom, a
ruffled shirt and knickerbockers
with gold buckles, he was a strik
ing figure and attracted attent ion.
Lewis formed the plan of waylay
ing him as he rode homo from
church and the meeting as relat
ed by Lewis is interesting: "I
meant to carry him into the
woods, tie him aud threaten him
with violence until he told me
where his treasure was lodged;
on obtaining this information, my
plan was to go to the house and
alarm the family by making them
believe I had just left the old man
dying in the road about a mile off
and that he had begged me to
send every one of them to him di
rectly. I concluded that the in
telligence would occasion great
distress and confusion, and that
in their absence I might have
time enough to rille his chests
and break open all his drawers.
"In pursuance of this premed
itated scheme, I did meet the old
man one Sunday afternoon as he
was returning home from church
but my heart failed me. I was
so struck with his venerable
form, his benevolent countenance,
his republican simplicity of man
ners, aud his patriarchal appear
ance, that I became confounded;
my feet became riveted to the
ground, my tongue motionless,
my heart appalled, and my eyes
fixed in amazement, so that I
could not find courage to proceed
or touch him with the finger of
violence. On meetiug him in the
highway he rode on after bidding
me good-day; when he passed by
I looked back at him and said,
what is the meaning of this? O,
honesty, there is sometimes a
charm eveu in the external appear
ance sufficient to stay the hands
of the robber himself; there is a
majesty in virtue which often ap
pals vice itself, and strikes the,
guilty couscience with terror and
dismay. I returned to the cave
that evening without committing
any depredation, aud slept better
than I had clone for several nights
before."
This escape of the venerable
old grand-father, whom they all
worshipped, from violence at the
hands of the notorious robber
was regarded in the McKeehan
family as a direct intervention of
Divine Providence. Riding up
the road the old gentleman spied
Lewis and divining his purpose,
concluded that the robber meant
to kill him or do him serious bod
ily harm. Being a sincere and
devout believer in God, in prayer
he committed himself to His pro
tectiugcare. The incident proved,
too, that all appreciation for tho
good and noble had not been en
tirely extinguished in the breast
: of Lewis.
: With all his shrewdness and
adroitness, Lewis did not always
avoid the clutches of the law or
escape looking out from behind
the iron bars of a prison. But
few jails held him any length of
time as he would either breakout
or trick the jailor. He did this so
frequently that he became famous
as a jail-breaker.
He escaped from our old jail
hero in Chambersburg on one oc
casion. Ho attempted burglary
in tho lower part of Cumberland
county and being intoxicated, was
captured. Oa account of his rep
utation tho jail iu Carlisle was re
garded not strong enough to hold
him and ho was sent to Fort Pen
singer, where it was supposed he
would bo secure.
He did not remain long in con
finement here. The jailer forgot
to lock and bar a door properly in
his hurry to witness a fight going
on iu the street: The prisoners,
by an ingenious contrivance,
worked a loop arouud the key and
succeeded iu gaining possession
of it; they then liberated Lewis,
who had been locked in a separ
ate cell. Lewis then took a hand
and sprang the lock of the door
leading iuto tho yard and finally
that of the gate ojicniug into the
street and, with four criminals ef
foctedhisescapeabout two o'clock
iu the morning, undetected. His
hobbles became troublesome and
they stopped in a pine thicket,
half a mile from tho town, to re
move them. While engaged with
an axe and cold chisel in tho work,
suddenly the violent ringing of
bells burst on their ears. They
knew that their escape had been
discovered and the citizens were
being aroused to go in pursuit.
Lewis states that he laughed
heartily at the thought of the dis
apiHiiutment and chagrin his es
cape would cause the wise citizens
of Chambersburg. The next day
he hid in a rye field and that night
made his way to the cave at Doub
ling Gap.
There was one jail, however, out
of which he could not break and
one keeper whom ho could not
trick. The jail was mortality that
confined his body and the keeper
was death whom he could not
trick. H(J yielded his body to the
one, his life to tho other and it
happened iu this way.
Lewis, Connely and Maguire, a
trio that had been associated to
gether iu many a crime, had cap
tured a wagon load of goods near
Belief onte. The robbery was so
bold that the whole country be
came excited and turned out to
run down the outlaws. The rob
bers succeeded for several days
in eluding their pursuers, but the
chase was hot. Maguire was caiv
tured, Lewis and Connelly took to
the hills.
The next afternoon, st ill fleeing
from their pursuers, they came on
a party shooting at mark. Proba
bly to quiet suspicion, they stop
pod and joined iu the sport. Sud
denly a pursuing party appeared
aud recognizing Lewis aud Con
nelly, called on them to surrender,
stating that they would rocei.'o
kind treatment. Connelly, who
was a desperate and vicious fel
low, ripped out an oath that be
fore he would surrender he would
blow them all to the place next to
Hades and immediately opened
lire. The party returned the fire.
Then Lewis joined in without tak
ing aim, iu the hope of checking
the pursuers and making his es
cape At the next volley Lewis'
right arm fell limp and helpless
at his side, by a bullet. Connelly
ran and was subsequently found
concealed in a tree top with a
wound through his groin. They
were taken down tho river in a
canoe and on Sunday, the 55rd of
July, landed near the Big Island,
in Lycoming county. Here they
wore attended by three physicians
and a minister. The physicians
could not save Con noil y's life and
the minister failed to interest him
iu the subject of saving his soul
aud that night he died iu gloomy
sullenuess. Lewis was tenderly
removed to tho jail at Bellefouto,
as soon as his wound permitted.
He would not allow hjs arm to be
amputated and preferred to die
rather than live without it. Gau
greue set iu and ho died on the
ll-ith of July, IHL'9, having finished
his confession tho day before.
So lived and died Lewis the
Robber.
