Investigation to Probe 1868 Cattleman Murder Ring
Attorney General Cosson assigns Robbins to lead the probe into the 1868 murder of a wealthy cattleman and his son by counterfeiters. The group used a cave as a rendezvous and killed a man during a planned visit for cattle buying. A 14 year old girl witnessed men loading a body into a well and a chest into a wagon while bandits forced her to stay secret. Investigators trace the crime to a five man counterfeit ring active near Saint Louis with ties to land near Saved Anderson and the Dark family. Continuous pursuit links the planned victim to a distant farm, with the couple allegedly ambushed on a road near a locust grove.
