William Robinson has hired as a Pony Express rider by Bolivar Roberts to ride the 140-mile route between Merced and Mariposa. One of his most famous rides involved carrying a judge's order to Mariposa so that the sheriff there could hold one Johnny Edmonds for trial for the murder of a bank teller. The ride had to be made within seventeen hours or the sheriff would have to let Edmonds go. Not only was the route through Indian country, but the Edmonds gang was lying in wait to intercept any dispatches. All was well until about twenty-five miles from Mariposa where he was ambushed by the Edmonds gang. Monroe was able to avoid capture and delivered the judge's order in time.
