George Robins (attempted robbery suspect)
Robins and Huber were seen lurking near the bank in Silver City before the Boyles departed with $2,300 in mine payroll funds [2]. Huber told the boy, “Well, kid, let us go,” and they mounted saddled horses kept in a vacant lot [1]. The pair attempted the robbery near Half Way Rock [2]. On Thursday morning a relative accused Robins of participation, and after telling a rambling story he agreed to show officers the trail [3].
