It would probably be prudent to do more pointed searches on certain subjects once identified but I prefer to wander in my searches while compiling information.
Returning to the five bandits who broke into the Yondotega Club and held Adolph Noe prisoner while they ransacked the place, we find an updated list of goods stolen and one of the masterminds behind the plot.
Henry Pace (aka Phiz Dickson) was captured and released on unrelated charges but before being let go the officers noticed that he had priors for hi-jacking and brought in Mr. Noe to see if he could identify the suspect in a lineup. He did and Pace was charged and plead Not Guilty.
The booty was close to $1,300 ($32,000 today) but mostly in specially monogrammed cigarettes and cigars. Considering that a pack of cigarettes cost around 10 cents and cigars were about 20 cents that's quite the stash.
