From the Watertown Daily Times of February 28, 1911. Attributed to the Louisville Post.
"It was a dark and stormy night. Around the campfire were seated brigands large and brigands small. 'So our dear brother Antonio has retired from the profession independently rich.' said the chief."
The joke continues on another theme, but the quoted section seems clearly to allude to our subject.
