1890s Train Robber/Lawyer, Pardoned by Teddy Roosevelt, Tells His Story

This is true story of Al Jennings, a lawyer in the 1800s who turned into a train and bank robber in the 1890s for revenge on the justice system. Finally caught by the law, he was sentenced to life in prison, but later was freed with the help of Senator Mark Hanna (Ohio) and then President of the United States William McKinley. Later, after McKinley was assassinated, Jennings was granted a full pardon by Teddy Roosevelt.
