Daws Knick pleads guilty to robbing Chatsworth post office (1912)

Daws Knick pleads guilty to post office robbery in a 1912 article:

 "...and the plea of guilty of Daws Knick, who acknowledged to robbing the Chatsworth postoffice.
  "Knick was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, having also entered a plea of guilty to larceny. It is probable that the government will handle him for the postoffice robbery."
