Over the Cigars. The brothers settled down to wait and passed the time by fleecing eleven men who wandered, one by one, into the white frame bank during the robbery. Hugh, the local paper reported later, "spying a box of Mr. Noblitt's cigars . . . passed them around to the held-up depositors, and bade them smoke, later bidding them cease in their enjoyment and throw the cigars away...
Irish Pennants & Beards. Manning drives himself as hard as his men. He keeps his sturdy (5 ft. 7½ in., 160 Ibs.) frame in tiptop shape by boxing every day (he used to spar with ex-Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard), and does not smoke or drink. On board his ship, he wakes up every morning at about 6:30 for coffee in bed, takes a quick look topside before a breakfast of orange juice, eggs, toast and more coffee.

His accent, a resonant blend of broad a's, clipped consonants and superbly rounded r's, is the same accent he used for credit in Manhattan speakeasies 20 years ago. He cannot be libeled by caricature. The close-cropped, greying hair, the imperiously immobile face, the thin mustache and the prominent nose that terminates in a kind of bulb are even more...
