Great story. Wonder why the film and TV people never gave Bass a spot like Jessie James or Billi the Kid. Always wondered about how people knew what was being said between people like these robbers.

I suppose I spent too much on CCF if my first thought upon reading this was "I wonder which mint these coins were from"

but the messenger was unable to open it due to a time-lock,


So how does a time lock safe in 1877 work?
