Atlanta Evening News January 8, 1907
Just as Tom Hamilton, William Oliver and Joe Byrd, who yesterday afternoon 
finished a three years' term of imprisonment int he federal prison on the 
charge of cracking a postoffice safe at Anderson, S.C., three years ago, 
stepped out from the great walls into an atmosphere of freedom, they were 
arrested by officers from Anderson, who last night carried them back to that 
town.  They will be forced to stand trial by the state of South Carolina on the 
same charge for which they were sent to the federal prison.

Three years ago the postoffice safe, which is in the store of W. P. Cook, was 
burglarized.  In order to reach the safe the men had to break in Cook's store. 
It is for this offense that they will be tried when taken back to the Palmetto 
state.  They were sent up for five years by the federal authorities, but owing 
to good behavior this sentence was cut down to just a little over three.
