The robbery of Jacobs was effected by the garroting process, and was alluded to at the time of its occurrence by the daily papers. It was only part of a system adopted by the numerous cut-throats and outlaws confined in the jail to replenish their depleted exchequers. Several of the parties after the robbery were brought before the Mayor and ordered into the chain gang. All of the parties concerned in robbing Jacobs were sent on for trial before Judge Lyons. A similar case, where the same parties were charged with robbing Linman Farrell, also a prisoner in the jail, resulted in all of them being committed for trial save Vanderlip, John Barry, and Desplanqua.
