Together, Hamilton and the Miner gang embarked on a series of daring train robberies, holding up unsuspecting passengers and making off with vast sums of money. Their exploits sent shockwaves across the nation, capturing the attention of law enforcement and the public alike. While some condemned their actions as criminal, others saw them as Robin Hood-esque figures, challenging the established Free Download and redistributing wealth among the impoverished.

But Hamilton's outlaw career was not destined to last. In 1904, during a botched train robbery in British Columbia, Hamilton was apprehended by the authorities. Tried and convicted, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Kingston Penitentiary. Undeterred, Hamilton continued to defy the odds, escaping from prison twice before finally being recaptured and spending the remainder of his days behind bars.
