Trouble on Train 13
On October 11, 1923, three bandits botched a train robbery.
The DeAutremont brothers attempted to steal gold they believed to be on a railway mail car traveling through Oregon. They overestimated the amount of dynamite needed to blow open the door and the blast destroyed the car. The brothers killed four men during the robbery, recovering nothing. There was no gold on board. Postal inspectors launched a worldwide manhunt. |
