Dantankerous Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Interested fella, for sure. A violent man in a violent time BUT we'll never know his true motivations or proclivities for what he did, nor what all he actually did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 But did he really kill that kid that got him hanged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 i dont think he did it - i think he was a useful guy that outlived his usefulness for those that were running things , that said , it is possible he was a contract killer that took that contract - funny they never looked for the contractor - no prosecution of them , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 He had actually escaped from jail, taking a pistol with him. When the posse caught up with him, he tried to shoot at them, but couldn't figure out how to take the safety off! Born to hang, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 What kind of pistol would he have had on him in 1903 that would've had a safety? Not a Peacemaker of course, unless it was one of those special Hollywood editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
