February 1855, making sure that the copied keys work perfectly.
Certain unexpected events over the next few months cause delays.
Finally the actual robbery is scheduled for May 22nd, but Pierce's plans
are again disrupted when "Clean Willy" suddenly turns "nose" (police
informer). Pierce's cabby Barlow murders Willy before he can reveal the
most crucial information, although Willy has told enough to cause Edward
Harranby, a very senior Scotland Yard detective, to deduce that a major
robbery is planned. Through careful manipulation of a "blower"
(informant) Pierce diverts the police's attention to an alleged robbery
of the transatlantic cable company's payroll in Greenwich, leaving the thieves free and clear to finally strike.
On the eve of the Great Train Robbery, another unexpected
development occurs: a new railway policy requires the baggage van doors
to be locked from the outside and prohibits anyone except the guard from
riding in the baggage van. Determined not to further delay the theft,
Pierce smuggles Agar into the baggage van inside a coffin, then risks
his life by climbing across the roof of the train during the journey. He
unlocks the door from outside, thus allowing them to drop off the gold
at a pre-arranged point. By the next day, much of England is in an
uproar upon the discovery of the robbery, with every organisation
involved in the gold shipment blaming each other, few leads as to the
true culprits and no idea how it was done. The members of the gang drop
out of sight.
Eighteen months later, Agar's mistress, who has been caught in
the act of robbing a drunk, informs on Agar to escape imprisonment.
Agar, who has been arrested on an unrelated charge, turns "nose" after
being threatened by Harranby with transportation to Australia. Pierce
and Burgess are arrested at a prize-fighting event in Manchester, and
all three are ultimately convicted. Pierce is sentenced to a long prison
term, but escapes while being transported from court (presumably
arranged by Miss Miriam and Barlow) and disappears.
