highbinder

It was something of a relief to recognize him now, nevertheless it is never safe to trust a highbinder, for murder and robbery is their trade.

And Boss Tolley, Tom Hicks, and them other highbinders can sulk in their dens and suck their paws.

"But them highbinders want thirty-two dollars and twenty cents, American gold."

So I wasn’t going to have Beatrice’s husband a cutthroat and a highbinder as he would have to be if he had turned the whole trick.

Petey was highbinder of the gang that year and was very far gone in crime.
