Innocents (gang)
The Innocents were an alleged gang of outlaw road agents from Montana that operated during the gold rush of the 1860s. According to the early chronicler Thomas Dimsdale, the gang attempted to steal gold while it was being transported and killed many travelers who resisted. Sheriff Henry Plummer of Bannack, Montana was accused of leading the group, and was executed by a group of vigilantes along with several other alleged members in January 1864.
==Criminal activities==
Early historians, originating with Dimsdale, stated that the gang consisted of over one hundred members at its height. Their headquarters was supposedly located at the Rattlesnake Ranch, twelve miles outside of Virginia City. The gang allegedly killed over one hundred people (only eight deaths can actually be confirmed by historical documentation) and stole a significant amount of gold while it was being transported the seventy mile distance between Virginia City and Bannack. The gang is believed by many to have been split into units in order to rob groups in different towns. Watchmen were allegedly placed in mine offices and gambling offices to determine when gold would be shipped. The members of the gang were believed to have secret code words to recognize each other, and were believed to use a particular secret knot in their tie. Many residents soon became frustrated by the amount of crime that was occurring. In 1863 they formed a committee of vigilantes (the Montana Vigilantes) to combat the rash of murders and robberies.
