Hope Valley Rhode Island Great Bank Robbery of 1909

In looking back, The Great Hope Valley Bank Robbery of 1909 was much like a Abbott and Costello comedy. The bank robbers put forth a great effort and received little in return. The villagers that gathered during the bank robbery heard the robbers arguing and cursing at each other. The villagers that did show up forgot to bring a gun. The villagers quickly found humor in that nights event.
