Diamond Fields Robbery Turned Deadly Showdown
In South Africa Ned Girard and I flee from diamond fields with a six horse coach. A gang led by the outlaw McArthur robs us of a rose diamond worth 20,000 and more. A brutal exchange ends with McArthur killed and the colporteur Mr Smith revealing the killer’s true identity, the famed William Hardy, pursued by London authorities.
