Griswold Flees With $10,000 After Stage Heist in New Orleans
Kenneth Griswold, a social rebel turned would be writer, robs Bayou State Security president Andrew Galbraith of $10,000 then escapes on the Belle Julie. He disguises as a tramp to aid a dying deckhand and impulsively chooses a river town as his future home, contemplating a fictionalized romance with Charlotte Farnham as inspiration.
