The Saint of Stillwater Prison From cellblock to sainthood
"The closest the surviving Younger brothers ever got to heaven was a prison guard who may be declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
“Barney” Francis Casey—now known as Venerable Solanus Casey—befriended Cole and Jim Younger in Minnesota’s Stillwater prison, where the outlaws were serving a life sentence for their part in the ill-fated Northfield bank robbery attempt with Frank and Jesse James.
The teenaged guard was remembered as a “people person” who found it hard to say no to prisoners. He obviously made an impression on the Youngers, since one of them made him a small wooden chest in shop class. After he left his prison job, Casey continued visiting the prison, and presumably kept seeing the Youngers..."
Would like to see some serious evidence of this claim.
