They would have been released on parole a good deal sooner than they were if it had not been for the strenuous opposition of the Norrthfield people, who to the last resisted any attempt at clemency. As a sort of an aftermath, along about 1898, two youths tried to copy their example and looted a bank at Sherburn, Min nesota, shooting a clerk. They were promptly pursued.
