BecauseMargaret'swork is writtenso well
and expressedbetter than I could do I quote the followingfrom her work:
"MichaelScheiffle,who arrivedat Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the Palatine
Ship,the St. Andrew,October27. 1738,is consideredour immigrantancestor.
The St. Andrewwas one of sixteenshipsthat arrivedthat year with 119 men
passengers.Althoughthe commanders hadbeenorderedto listalsothe women
and children,and to givethe placeof domicileplusthe adults'occupations, very
few did. Commander JohnStedmanof the St.Andrewwas onewho didn'tfollow
the order,unfortunately.Therefore,we do not knowwhetheror not Michaelhad
a wifeand/orchildren."
"Accordingto Strassburgerand Hinke in PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN
PfONEERS, VOL l, pp 238,239, Michaelsigned,October27. 1738,at the
Courthouse in Philadelphia,
the Oathof Allegiance to the BritishCrown,and the
Oathof Abjurationand Fidelityto the Proprieterand the Lawsof the Province.In
VOL. lll of GERMANPIONEERS, pp 244,246, Michael'ssignature writtenin
GermanScript is MICHAEL SCHEIFFLE. No other were
Scheiffles listedon the
St.Andrew."
"The immigrantssoon movedout into other areas, particularlythe York
Countyarea of then LancasterCounty,Pennsylvania.York Countywas settled
chiefly by those Germans of the Lutheranand Lutheran Reformedfaiths.
Michaelprobablytraveledto LancasterCo.,thenabout75 mileswestto Wrights
Ferry taking the MonocacyTrail throughYork County,Adams County,and
southwardto Monocacyin FrederickCounty,Maryland. From my readings,
Monocacywas locatedseveralmileswest of the MonocacyRiverand aboutten
mifesnorthof the townof Frederick.ln 1740,MichaelSchauffle was listedas a
memberof the MonocacyLutheranChurchCongregation.(PENNSYLVANIA

DOROTHEA,was born March 9. 1740 and was baptizedAugust 10. 1740.

hadarrivedat Philadelphia in Oct 1737."
From MargaretSmith'swork it is known that MichaelScheifflehad,
besidesthe daughterEva Dorthealistedabove,the followingchildren: John
ChristianSchauffle, bornOctober25, 1746;JohnSchaufele, bornApril 14, 1749;

Seatedat the wheel of an automobilein front of the Cilizens'SecurityNationalBank of Everett

six sub-machine gun menwho robbedthe bankof $44,300on September 15 posedsmilingas a numberof

One man did so positivelyand a numberof otherssaid he closelyresembledthe driverof the
automobilein whichthe gangstersfled afterthe robbery.
Fred Lawrence,Everettpatrolman,declaredhe was certainShivelywas the man. Lawrencewas
the onlypoliceman whoapproached the bankwhilethe hold-upwasgoingon.
RanTo Scene
He was not on duty at the time,but seeingsomething was amiss,ran to the bankwith revolver
drawn.A gangster witha submachine gunmethimat the doorandcommanded:
'Dropthatgunand upwithyourhands."
Lawrencedid so and, handsin the air, starteddownthe street,takingnote,he said,of the manat

He said at that time the driverof the car was Shivelyand to furtherclinchhis identificationwentto
Shively'sroadhouse, the BlueOx lnn,at Hoodsport on HoodCanal,wherehe madecertain,he said,that
the proprietorwas the gangstersuspect.
It was at the inn yesterdaythat Shivelywas arrestedafter Lawrencehad spentmost of the night
there. The placingof Shivelyin the car in frontof the robbedbankthis morningwas for the purposeof
makingthe identification stillmoreconclusiveinvestigate

Seattleofficialsmeanwhilewere conductingan investigation into an alibi Shivelyclaimswill wholly

Matron'sStory
"Thematronof the women'squarters,Mrs.GeorgiaBarconier, sayssheremembers Shivelycalled
to talk to a womanprisoneron one day duringthe lastweek of the Lyle-Whitney trial. She is tryingto
remember someotherincidentthatwouldfix in her mindjustwhatday it was,butso far hasbeenunableto
do so. We knowShivelywas at the jail on two occasions, onceearlyin the month,whenhe camewith a
womanand somebundlesand I sawhim myself,and onceagainon Thursdayof the finalweekof the Lyle-
Whitneytrial.'

and escapedto Shively'sroadhouse in a fast speedboat,and eighteen-footer with powerfulengines,that

But it was not there,norweretheyableto findanyof the Everettbanklootor any of the weapons

Fearingthe par$ mightbe waylaidand attackeden route in an attemptto liberatethe prisoner,
SheriffStevertook a circuitousway. He avoidedmain highwaysand led the caravanover less frequently

'No,"he said,"l don'tthinkl'll putup bail. I don'tthinkit willbe necessary."
A momentbefore,as he emptiedhis pocketsand handedover to the jailer his watch,papers,

"**Diagram (Map)ShowingSuspected RouteUsedto FleeScene****
This map shows the supposed route of flight of the robbers of the Everett Citizens' Security National Bank and the territory
covered by Snohomish County officers yesterday in the capture of Clarenee H. Shively, suspected leader of the
gangsters. According to the authorities theory, the bandits automobile, in which they escaped was driven by Shively
south to Silver Lake, thence west to a shack on Puget Sound, where it was abandoned,to be picked up later by a woman,
the robbers embarking in Shively's speedboat and hurrying to the Blue Ox Inn on Hood Canal, where he was anested
yesterday.

Outlaw, Price On Head, Sought As Everett Bandit
HarryStone,NotoriousThug, HuntedAs MemberOf SubmachineGun Band;ShivelyAccusersIncrease
(Picture of Harry Stone)
Harry Stone, notorious Pacific Northwest outlaw with a price on his head for murder, was being sought to day
as one of the six submachine gun bandits wanted for the $44,300 robbery of the Citizens' Securily National Bank at
Everett.
Swiftly following the arrest of Clarence H. (Dick) Shively, former Seattle policeman, and his idenlificationas the
driver of the bank robbers' automobile,word was broadcastto authoritiesthroughoutthe country today to look for Stone in
company with another ex-convict also wanted for the Everett hold-up.
Notification came simultaneouslyfrom Vancouver, 8.C., that it had been learned two white men, a few days
before the Everett holdup, had aftempted to buy submachine guns from a Seattle Chinese underworld character. The
same Chinese is believed to have had a hand in the "passing" of $14,500 of the Everett curensy at the Royal Bank of
Canada last week.
A short, stocky ltalian with a peculiar "spider-like"way of moving about like a prize fighter in the ring, was one of
the robbers particularlynoticed by those in the bank. This man, officers suspect, was Stone, whose true name is said to
be George Rossi, and who formerly was a pugilist.
12 ldenti! Shively
No less than twelve witnesses, il was reported by Sheriff George l. Stever of Snohomish County, have now
identifiedShively as the man who sat at the wheel of the bandits' machine outsidethe bank while the robberywas in
progress.
At the same time operatives of the \A/illiamJ, Burns lnternationalDetectiveAgency here said Shively's alibi that
he was in Seattle at the time of the Evereft bank hold-up had been shattered.
Bail Set At $10.000
Shively's lawyer was in Everett last night conferringwith the prisoner. But the attorney did not get Shively out of
jail, if that was his intention,bail havingbeen increasedto $10,000,and amountShivetywas said to be unableto raise.
Search continued for an 18-foot speedboat which authorities suspec{ was used by the bank bandits to escape
from a beach near Everett afier the robbery. Such a boat, Sheriff Stever was informed, had been seen near the Blue Ox
Inn, where Shively was arrested, both before and after the hold-up.
The boat, it is believed, may furnish important clues to the whereabouts of the six gangsters who were inside
the bank while the man identifiedas Shively waited outside in the automobile.
Its disappearance is believed suggestive that lhe robbers have a secret rendezvous somewhere on Puget
Sound where they are hiding, probably well fortified and provisioned and can keep the speedboat comptetely concealed
for use again at anothertime.
Four men of a type resemblingsome of the bank bandits were reported to Sheriff Stever to have been seen on
the Shivelyranch near Sheltonin Mason County as late as last Friday. This was the reason,it was said, that the ranch
was searchedby a posse under his directionat the same time on Sundaythat the Blue Ox Inn was searchedand Shively
taken.
But, in view of lhe disclosurethat Shively had been 'tipped off that he was under surveillance,the officers said
today it is not strange that they found the ranch deserted and could find non evidence of any kind.
