James Allen (1809-1837), also, known as George Walton, Jonas Pierce, James H. York, Burley Grove, was a Massachusetts highwayman in the early 19th century.〔(True Crime Compiled by Adam Gaffin )〕
One man, fought back when Allen attempted, to rob him and that, was John Fenno. After a prolonged life of banditry, Allen was eventually, imprisoned in the Massachusetts State Prison, which opened in 1805, in Charlestown, Boston, Massachusetts. He died in prison, and is remembered for delivering a deathbed confession to the warden, in 1837, one copy of which, was bound in the author's skin.
