Y YOUNG, Jerry Lynn Alabama-born in October 1942, Jerry Young joined the marines in February 1961, but he found military discipline too rigorous. Convicted of robbing a Richlands, North Carolina, bank of $4,359, he received a dishonorable discharge in March 1962. The rap also carried a six-year federal prison sentence, but Young was paroled in August 1963. He was discharged as a free man on March 1, 1967, upon successful com¬ pletion of his parole. The next day. Young raided a bank in Asheville, North Carolina, brandishing a shotgun as he looted the cages of $13,671 in cash. Threatening to kill any pursuers, he fled in a stolen car, firing pistol shots at an employee who briefly gave chase. On April 14 he struck again, robbing a bank in Olive Branch, Mis¬ sissippi, of $14,919. Identified from photographs, Young was declared a federal fugitive on bank-rob¬ bery charges, and his name was added to the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list on May 12, 1967. One month later, on June 15, FBI agents were waiting when Young and accomplice William Webb left their room at an Akron, Ohio, motel. Mindful of Young’s boast that he would “never be taken alive,” G-men were ready when he reached for a pistol. Confronted with superior firepower, he swiftly reconsidered and surrendered with¬ out further incident. Conviction on outstanding charges subsequently sent Young back to federal prison.

Bandit Jerry Young began to rob banks while still a teenage member oPthe U.S. Marine Corps. (FBI)

YOUNGER Brothers

Cole Younger was among the earliest recruits for Quantrill’s raiders and one of the band’s fiercest warriors, though he later resigned in disgust at Quantrill’s increasingly brutal methods. Years later, in his autobiography. Cole described the change that made him reconsider his allegiance to Quantrill:

YOUNGER Brothers Natives of Missouri, the outlaw Younger brothers were four of 14 children born to affluent parents before the American Civil War; the entire brood included eight sons and six daughters. Clan patri¬ arch Henry Washington Younger was a county magistrate, the holder of several U.S. mail con¬ tracts, and one of Missouri’s richest planters, with several farms held in his name. He was also a proSouthern slave owner, but he opposed secession from the Union until violence from “Bleeding Kansas” spilled over onto his own home turf. The sons who later turned to banditry included Thomas Coleman “Cole” Younger, born in 1844; Jim Younger, born in 1848; John Younger, born in 1851; and Bob Younger, the baby of the family, born in 1853. Trouble began for the Younger family in autumn 1860 when Kansas “Jayhawker” guerrillas raided their homestead, stealing 40 horses and four wagons valued at $4,000. That crime was still unavenged on April 13, 1861, the night after Fort Sumter was shelled by Confederate artillery, when Cole Younger quarreled with a leader of the Kansas irregulars— one Irwin Walley—at a local dance. Bystanders sepa¬ rated the men, but Cole’s opponent later led a lynching party to the Younger farm in search of him. The mob was disappointed because Cole had already left home to join WILLIAM CLARKE QUANTRiLL’s guer¬ rillas, raiding into Kansas with first cousins FRANK and JESSE JAMES. Before year’s end, 10-year-old John Younger reportedly helped brother Jim kill four Union soldiers in Clay County. Union forces were suspected on July 20, 1862, when Henry Younger was ambushed and murdered near Harrisonville, $500 stolen from his corpse. (The killers missed another $2,200 hidden in a money belt.) Cole blamed his old enemy Irwin Walley for the murder but later explained his failure to retaliate in a letter written from prison:

Where at first there was only killing in ordinary battle, there became to be no quarter shown. The wounded of the enemy next felt the might of this individual vengeance, acting through a community of bitter mem¬ ories, and from every stricken field there began, by and by, to come up the substance of this awful bulletin: Dead, such and such a number wounded, none. —

«

While it lasted, though. Cole Younger threw him¬ self into the guerrilla war effort with total commit¬ ment. Once, it was claimed, he disguised himself as an old woman to spy on Union troops at Indepen¬ dence, Missouri—ridirtg sidesaddle with a basket of fresh produce—but his six-feet height and 170 pounds soon betrayed him, sparking a gunfight in which he killed one Yankee before escaping under fire. Cole was present on August 21, 1863, when Quantrill’s band sacked Tawrence, Kansas, leaving 185 men and boys dead in the ruins, but reports that place 10-year-old brother Bob at his side are cer¬ tainly erroneous. The Younger home in Clay County was among those evacuated and burned by Union forces in retaliation for the Lawrence massacre, Bersheba Younger departing with four children and two black servants for the relative safety of Texas. The Confederate surrender at Appomattox left Dixie in turmoil. Missouri had never left the Union, but tempers ran high on both sides of the slavery question, and wartime damage in the “burned-over district” adjoining the Kansas state line was as bad as anyplace below the Mason-Dixon Line. Many of Quantrill’s guerrillas had entered the war to settle private scores, and their blood debts did not disap¬ pear with the cease-fire. Others had learned a habit of casual violence that proved impossible to break. John Younger, barely 15 years old, shot and killed a man who slapped him with a fish in 1866; jurors agreed with him that gunning down an unarmed man was “self-defense” and set him free. Brothers Cole and Jim, meanwhile, were reunited with their wartime cronies in a veritable band of brothers— Frank and Jesse James, Ed and Clell Miller, Wood and Clarence Hite, George and Oliver Shepherd, with others—to pick up where their wartime raiding had left off.

In relation to Walley I will say: if I were what the world paints me, there could be no excuse except cowardice for my neglect to kill him. During the war I did every¬ thing in my power to get hold of him, but failed. . . . When I returned home from the war ... I could have killed Walley nearly any time, but only by assassina¬ tion—slipping up to his house and shooting him through a window. Some people might have perpetrated such a deed, but I could not pollute my soul with such a crime. ... I could not shoot him like a dogj especially when I knew he had a wife and children.

YOUNGER Brothers

The goal this time was profit, though they some¬ times dressed it up in politics or seized an opportu¬ nity to kill old foes encountered by chance. The gang robbed its first bank at Liberty, Missouri, on Febru¬ ary 14, 1866, escaping with $15,000 in gold coins, some currency and silver, plus $45,000 in bonds that proved worthless. Riding out of town, one of the gunmen casually murdered an unarmed college stu¬ dent, 19-year-old George Wymore (or Wynmore). Cole and Jim Younger were identified as members of the 10-man raiding party. Spring found Cole Younger in Texas, visiting his mother near Sycene. One of Bersheba Younger’s neighbors was'another transplanted Missourian, saloonkeeper John Shirley, whose teenage daughter Myra caught Cole’s eye. The fact of their romance is indisputable, but its outcome remains controversial. Myra Belle Shirley later named her first illegitimate child Pearl Younger, insisting the girl was Cole’s daughter, going so far as to name her later homestead in Arkansas Younger’s Bend. Cole, for his part, denied paternity for the rest of his life and apparently shunned further contact with the woman who entered Western history as “Queen of the Bandits” Belle Starr. The James-Younger gang was back in action on October 30, 1866, stealing $2,000 from a bank at Lexington, Missouri. Seven months later, on May 23, 1867, they hit a Richmond, Missouri, bank for $4,000 in gold. Townspeople opened fire as they fled, but guerrilla training served the bandits well, enabling them to kill Richmond’s mayor, jailer B. G. Griffin, and Griffin’s 15-year-old son as they rode out of town. Warrants were issued for seven suspects in that case, with several arrested and later con¬ victed, but indictments overlooked the James and Younger brothers. A year after the Richmond holdup, on May 20, 1868, Jesse James and Cole Younger entered a bank at Russellville, Kentucky, seeking change for a $50 bill. Informed the bill was counterfeit, they cheerfully agreed and drew their pistols, demanding real cash in exchange. James and Younger were bagging their loot—$14,000 in gold, silver, and currency—when a cashier ran for daylight, raising the alarm despite a parting bullet wound. Outside, as vigilantes gath¬ ered, one of the outlaws wounded a second man to discourage the rest and they fled without pursuit. It was a good score but a costly one as PINKERTON detectives were employed for the first time to track down the gang.

333

Known for long lulls between holdups, the JamesYounger gang pulled its next verified job on Decem¬ ber 7, 1869, when Jesse, Frank, and Cole Younger robbed a bank at Gallatin, Missouri. The take was a disappointing $700, and Jesse executed cashier John Sheets, a former Union officer, before the bandits fled in a hail of vigilante gunfire. On June 3, 1871, the gang did better, lifting $45,000 from a bank at Corydon, Iowa. Ten months later, on April 29, 1872, they scored a pitiful $200 from a bank at Columbia, Kentucky, killing cashier R. A. C. Martin in the process. Bob Younger entered the scene that year, joining the James brothers on September 26 to steal $10,000 from the Kansas City fairgrounds. A bank at Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, was the target on May 23, 1873. Two months later, on July 21, the gang pulled its first TRAIN ROBBERY, derailing a passenger train east of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and stealing $7,000 from the passengers. Fleeing, they left engi¬ neer John Rafferty scalded to death in the ruins of his locomotive and the fireman clinging to life with painful burns. No target was too large or small for the James Younger gang. On January 15, 1874, they stopped a stagecoach near Malvern, Arkansas, and robbed the passengers of pocket change. Two weeks later they invaded Gads Hill, Missouri, and commandeered the railroad depot, robbing the inbound train of some $2,000, leaving behind a handwritten press release that described their latest exploit as “The Most Dar¬ ing Train Robbery on Record!” It was too much for the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Spies were dispatched to Missouri in the guise of livestock buyers, infiltrating bandit territory in the Ozark Mountains. One of the agents, John Whicher, was ambushed and killed by persons unknown on March 15, 1874, while en route from Kearney, Missouri, to the homestead occupied by Jesse James’s mother. One day later, detectives Louis Lull and James Wright, led by ex-lawman E. B. Daniels, met Jim and John Younger on a backwoods road in St. Clair County. When the gunsmoke cleared, Daniels and John Younger were dead and Lull mortally wounded. James Wright and Jim Younger escaped from the battle unscathed. Twenty months passed before the gang’s next veri¬ fied outing, stealing $60,000 worth of cash and valu¬ ables from passengers aboard a train at Muncie, Kansas, on December 13, 1875. Another stagecoach fell prey to the gang on May 12, 1876, between San Antonio and Austin, Texas; the gang bagged $3,000

YOUNGER Brothers

asking Cole to put brother Jim out of his misery, and the cousins split up, Charlie Pitts remaining with the Younger team. At 2:00 A.M. the next day, Pitts and the Youngers fought their way past guards on the Blue Earth River bridge and shook off a posse that rode in pursuit. Skulking near Mankato, the fugitives were reduced to stealing chickens for their dinner, a cir¬ cumstance that made them feel “real mean,” in Jim Younger’s recollection. On September 21 one of the gang approached a farm 150 miles 'northwest of Northfield, trying to buy bread and eggs, but his stiff walk and barely hidden guns prompted a report to Sheriff James Glispin at Madelia. A posse sur¬ rounded the bandits in a nearby patch of timber, killing Charlie Pitts in the first barrage of fire and inflicting further wounds on all three Youngers before they surrendered. Cole was hit 11 times, while Jim had stopped a to^al of 10 slugs; Bob, the sole brother still able to stand, was better off with only a half-dozen wounds. The brothers all defied physicians’ expectations by surviving to stand trial. All were convicted and sen¬ tenced to 25-year prison terms. Bob died of tubercu¬ losis in prison on September 16, 1889, but his brothers survived to rhake parole. Jim Younger stayed in Minnesota and later committed suicide in a ST. PAUL hotel room. Cole Younger published his memoirs in 1903 and joined Frank James as star attractions with a Wild West show, but the old wounds from Northfield were still painful, and the cousins were soon estranged once more. Cole tried religion next, preaching sermons with “his own mis¬ spent life as a text” until he died at Lee’s Summit, Missouri, on March 21, 1916. Legends still circulate about the Younger gang, some claiming that a por¬ tion of their loot—$500,000 in some sensational accounts—lies hidden, waiting to be claimed on some Missouri homestead or among the limestone caves once used as bandit hideouts.

without firing a shot. Two months later, on July 7, they netted $15,000 from a train holdup at Otterville, Missouri. The gang’s last hurrah involved a foray to the north, far removed from the Missouri farms and wilderness where they could count on friends and relatives for shelter. Jesse James was counting on sur¬ prise to help them loot a bank at Northfield, Min¬ nesota, without difficulty. Cole Younger opposed the plan but went along when brothers Jim and Bob out¬ voted him. Frank James, Clell Miller, Charlie Pitts, and Bill Chadwell filled out the ranks as the gang started north, riding 300 miles to their target. The Northfield raid of September 7, 1876, was a bloody fiasco. Cashier J. L. Fleywood was killed for refusing to open the safe; teller A. E. Bunker was wounded in the shoulder by Bob Younger as he fled crying for help. Outside, one of the raiders shot and killed Norwegian immigrant Nicholas Gustavson as armed vigilantes appeared on the street, blazing away with rifles and shotguns. Clell Miller was the next to fall, blasted dead from his saddle. Bill Chadwell was blinded by birdshot and then drilled through the heart by a rifle bullet. Jim Younger was shot in the face, his jaw shattered. Brother Bob’s horse was killed and his own right elbow smashed by a bullet as he ran for cover. Cole Younger, already hit in the shoulder, rode back for his brother and hauled Bob up behind him to ride double. Every surviving member of the gang was wounded by bullets or shot as they rode out of Northfield through a withering crossfire. Nor was the bad news over yet. With nothing but fresh wounds to show for the holdup, the gang was surprised by a posse near Shieldsville on September 11, another of their horses killed before they escaped with four men riding double. They had traveled only 15 miles from Northfield in four days with vigilante patrols manning every major road and bridge in the district. Jesse James went too far on September 13,

ZAYADA, George Jailed for the first time in March 1933 at age 17, George Zavada spent nearly four years in the Ohio state reformatory before his release in January 1937. Fourteen months later, on March 21, 1938, he was sentenced to 25 years on conviction for three armed robberies in Cleveland. Between 1938 and 1961 Zavada logged time in the Tennessee state prison, plus federal lockups at Alcatraz, Atlanta, and Leav¬ enworth. Released from the latter prison on October 24, 1961, he drove west to renew his acquaintance with hoodlum Howard Jensen, a crony from his days at Alcatraz in the 1950s. In the early spring of 1963, Zavada and Jensen teamed up to rob a supermarket in Whittier, Califor¬ nia, making off with $2,633. In May they were joined by ex-convict Clarence Kostich in robbing a motel and another supermarket. Zavada was emerg¬ ing as the brains of the gang, plotting their raids, and his partners soon dubbed him “The King.” Zavada grew so fond of the nickname that he had it embroi¬ dered on his underwear. On June 4, 1963, “King” George led his subjects into a Culver City savings-and-loan office, bagging $3,034 at gunpoint. A month later, on July 9, they relieved a Los Angeles bank of $10,049, making a clean getaway. Raiding the United California Bank in Canoga Park on July 26, Zavada vaulted over the teller’s cage to retrieve $33,771 in cash. Throughout the crime spree, Zavada lived in San Francisco, traveling south when a holdup was sched-

money at a Hollywood motel. The outlaws tried to bluff their way through questioning, but a telephone number found in Jensen’s room led police to Zavada. Arrested in San Francisco, Zavada was returned to Los Angeles and there confessed his role in the holdups. On December 23, 1963, Zavada failed to appear in court for his trial. “The King” was otherwise engaged with an abortive bank heist in Reno, Nevada. Working with ex-convicts Joseph Anderson and Thomas Lombardi, Zavada was frustrated by a bank manager who refused to open the vault. Fleeing with small change, the outlaws sideswiped an oil truck in their haste to get away. Zavada and Lombardi fared a little better in their next outing on January 20, 1964, lifting $7,696 from a savings-and-loan office in Los Angeles. On March 13 they tapped an L.A. bank for $4,478, rebounding a week later with another bank job, net¬

ting $13,000 for their effort. By that time, the FBI was hot on Zavada’s trail, and agents nearly bagged him on April 17, settling for Tom Lombardi when they missed their prey by minutes. Lombardi and Zavada were charged with three counts of bank robbery on May 6, 1964, and Zavada made the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list the same day. On June 12, 1964, following a Sacramento bank heist that netted $73,000, Zavada’s car was spotted outside a house in San Jose, California. Federal agents surrounded the house, closing in as Zavada emerged, but “The King” chose to fight for his free¬ dom. Drawing a pistol, Zavada had no time to fire before a well-placed shot laid him out on the lawn. Pleading guilty to all counts in federal court on Octo¬ ber 26, 1964, Zavada received another 25-year term at Leavenworth. He died in prison of natural causes in June 1965.
