The front page of the Harrisburg Daily Independent, 19 March 1901, featured a story on the beginning of the trial proceedings against Keiper and Rowe, accused of a murder that was committed during the Halifax Bank Robbery that took place on 14 March 1901 in Halifax, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
The headline reads:
