This little gem was found in the Lynchburg Daily Virginian and was published on March 22, 1856 meaning the robbery probably took place on or about March 15, 1856. That amount of money would be over $250,000 worth in today's money. At some point I might need to dig through the local newspapers and see what comes of any of these cases.
The original publication can be found here and was considered worthy of the front page.
