The Garber of a Famous Criminal
Four men faced Dan Noble at Centre Street Police Court. Auburn Prison officials identified him as the long‑time escapee from 1873, last seen after a hole in the wall. Noble denied guilt while seeking to avoid prison time. Born 1834 in England, Noble's career spans Elmira robberies and Paris diamonds, with multiple escapes and international arrests.
Noble in Tombs as Court Weighs Return to Prison
The robberies linked to Noble stretch back to February 5 1867 when $100 000 was stolen from Leonard W Jerome Bliss and Co Pine Street. Bonds were moved by Phil Furlong and Ned Lyons with profits withheld from the plot’s promoters. Noble’s gang pursued their share for three years before pay. A City Magistrate Meade will conduct the hearing next Tuesday to decide if Noble must resume a sentence nearly 25 years overdue.
