| Summary | "From Boniface to Bank Burglar; Or, The Price of Persecution" by George M. White is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around George White, a successful businessman who, through a miscarriage of justice, becomes entangled in a notorious bank burglary, leading him to experience the dark side of the legal system and societal betrayal. The story is framed around White's reflections as he recounts his life from prosperous hotel owner to accused felon, illustrating the perils of wrongful accusation and its toll on one's life and reputation. At the start of the book, George M. White begins by introducing his life’s story during a time when he faced imprisonment for crimes he did not commit. In the opening chapter, he returns to his hotel after a brief absence, unaware that he is about to be swept into a series of unfortunate events involving a deputy marshal and his dubious associates. White's initial days are marked by his contentment in the hotel business, which rapidly descends into turmoil after being arrested based on circumstantial evidence linking him to a significant bank robbery. The narrative elaborates on his deepening sense of injustice as he portrays the legal battles he faces, emphasizing themes of persecution and the psychological anguish that accompanies being wrongfully accused.
