You are not forgotten. I have invoked your story several times to remind certain people that
the two people that viciously gunned you down were not folk hero nor were they ever. In fact they
killed 8 other Law Enforcement officers and wounding more officers and deserved the death that rained
down upon them May of 1934 outside of Gibsland Louisiana. Not to mention the civilian victims that suffered
and died from the out laws.
