Doc Holliday Conflicts

Butch admired Cassidy and wanting to be like his friend but not disrespect the family changed his name to Butch Cassidy (D). The young boy apparently started rustling, eventually forcing him to leave home during his mid-teens under a cloud of suspicion (C). By all accounts Butch was a charming thief, who was well liked and who never, it’s believed, killed anyone (D). For several years, he moved around the west using the name Roy Parker (C). On June 24, 1889, Butch committed his first serious crime, robbing a bank in Telluride, Colorado, for more than $20,000 (C). After purchasing a ranch of his own in Dubois, Wyoming, in 1890, Cassidy continued his life of crime (D). In 1894, the law caught him, and he spent 2 years in jail for the crime (D). Despite his criminal background, Cassidy always kept his word (D). As one story goes, on the night before he was to begin his sentence, Cassidy asked to be released, promising he’d return to jail the following day (D). The authorities took his word for it and let him go, and Cassidy returned to them the following morning (D). After serving for two years in the Wyoming Territorial Prison at Laramie, Cassidy was pardoned (C). With several other outlaws that were called the Wild Bunch, Cassidy embarked on what is considered the longest stretch of successful train and bank robberies in

Several days after Till flirted with the young store owner, the youth was abruptly awakened by Roy Bryant and his half-brother JW Milam. Much to the protests of Moses Wright, Till’s uncle, the two men kidnapped Emmett Till and threw him in the back of their pick-up truck. Although their first intentions were to merely scare the youth, the night took a turn for the worst once Emmett began to resist the men and their attempts to subdue the boy. They brutally beat the boy and hit him several times with their guns. Bryant and Milam dragged the boy near the Tallahatchie River while making Emmett carry a cotton gin fan. Stripping Till of all his clothes, the men shot him in the head and sank the corpse in the river with the gin fan around his neck. Then the two men quickly escaped the crime scene.

In the movie Hang em’ High, Clint Eastwood plays the main character Jed Cooper. A group of men accuse him of stealing cattle and killing one of their neighbors. When he can’t prove to them his innocence, they hang him. It just so happens that a U.S. Marshall was in the area and he saved Cooper’s life. Then the Marshall brought him to the judge to see if he is guilty. Eventually, it was discovered that Cooper was innocent, and had bought the cattle from a criminal who killed the owner then sold the cattle to him. Cooper was finally released, but he now wanted revenge on the men who tried to lynch him. The judge tells Cooper to give their descriptions to one of his marshal’s and they will try to find them, but Cooper feels that it’s not enough. The judge warns Cooper about taking the law into his own hands. When he told the judge that he was a formal law man, and he knows the law, the judge offers Cooper a job as a Marshall, and he takes the job. After accepting the job, he goes around and tried to gather up all men that tried to hang him. Along the way he has many side adventures, and tests the limits of right and wrong.

Do you think billy the kid (Henry McCarty Jr.) took a stand?Most people wouldn't think he does because he kills and he robs places. But that’s why because people don't see the good side of him like how he stood up for his boss or how when he stole butter as a kid he did it for his city. Billy the Kid moved to Arizona briefly before joining up with a gang of gunfighters called The Boys to fight in the Lincoln County War. Known as “The Kid” Billy switched to the opposition to fight with John Tunstall under the name “The Regulators”. Barely escaping with his life, McCarty became an outlaw and a fugitive. He died on July 14th, 1881 in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. He was born November 23, 1859, in New York City. Billy the kid had sandy blond hair and blue eyes and wore a signature sugar-loaf sombrero hat with a wide decorative band. He could be charming and polite one moment, then outraged and violent the next, a quixotic nature, he used to great effect during his heists and robberies.”

Corral gunfight, was when Billy was caught riding Wyatt’s stolen horse. Ike Clanton, born in 1847, was also involved in the O.K. Corral shootout. Ike’s involvement in the shootout started when “Doc” Holliday offered him $6000 in reward money to help find, or kill, the men involved in the “stage-coach murders”, and he declined. Then when Doc was accused of murder in Tombstone, Ike openly expressed his thoughts when Doc was found innocent. All these events led up to the famous gunfight. The date was October 26, 1881, 2:30 p.m., and the setting was a vacant lot officially known as lot number two, block 17, in Tombstone, Arizona (internet, #5). Nineteen year old Billy Clanton, thirty-four year old Ike Clanton, and Tom and Frank McLaury face Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, along with Doc Holliday. The O.K. Corral Gunfight last 30 seconds, Frank McLaury was dead from a bullet wound to the stomach fired from Wyatt’s gun, Tom McLaury was dead from Doc Holliday’s shotgun, and Billy Clanton was dying from chest wounds (internet, #6). Ike Clanton escaped by running into Fly’s Photo Studio nearby. Billy was rushed into a nearby house screaming in pain. Dr. N. S. Gibberson shot Billy full of morphine to ease the pain. As crowds gathered around Billy’s bed, his last words were documented, “Drive the crowd away”(internet, #4). Jonas V. Brighton murdered Ike Clanton six years later on June 1, 1887 near Springerville,

The life of Johnny Ringo has been widely disputed. In the beginning of Tombstone, Ringo is seen shooting a Mexican priest. However, this particular incident never even happened. Ringo happened to be in California when the well-known gunfight at O.K. Corral occurred on October 26, 1881. Almost a year later, Ringo arrived back at Tombstone. He began drinking quite heavily for over a week. Less than two weeks later he was found dead underneath a tree from a gunshot wound to his head. Johnny Ringo’s cause of death is still unknown (“Gunfighter John Ringo Found Dead”). Therefore, this scene in the movie may or may not be accurate. At the time, his death was ruled as a suicide.  Conversely, many theories have aroused arguing that Ringo’s death was actually a murder, which was staged to look like a suicide (Gatto). One reason for this belief is because Ringo’s gun that he supposedly shot himself with was verified as being fully loaded (Weiser). Later, Wyatt Earp admitted to allegedly killing Ringo. However, there is no substantial proof to corroborate either of these allegations, therefore it leaves the truth about his death to be unknown (Weiser). Ringo’s body was buried just a few yards away

Straying the frontier, Earp drifted from saloons and brothels. In Arkansas, he was jailed for stealing a horse, only to escape. In 1876 he trekked to his brothers brothel in Wichita, Kansas. There in Kansas, he established himself as a part-time police officer. Working hard, Earp was eventually made city marshal of Dodge City, Kansas. While in Kansas he met his good friend Doc Holliday. Joining his brothers Virgil and Morgan in tombstone, Arizona, December 1879, they hoped for silver wealth. Hopelessly finding no silver, Earp was forced to return to law work. Seeing tombstone as a wild horse needing to be tamed, he took the challenge to bring order to the order less town.

Sheriff Tate might have some of the traits and qualities of a good sheriff. However, would a good sheriff lie, bend the law, or tamper with evidence. When Mayella claimed she was sexually abused Sheriff Tate didn’t take her to see a doctor. He claimed “No sir-” when Atticus asked “But you didn’t call a doctor? While you were there did anyone send for one, fetch one, carry her to one?”(224). Mayella could’ve been hurt and they could’ve had more evidence, but instead he decided not to get her a doctor. Sheriff Tate also tampered with evidence when Bob Ewell was killed. He switched the knives around and took the one that killed Bob Ewell. Then he insisted “Bob Ewell fell on his

"We really would like to have a police chief who can focus solely in the Village of Horseheads. Mr. Schrom is in charge of the county jail, he is the Undersheriff and the Sheriff's Department has just gone into an agreement with the City of Elmira because of the concerns that they have. That's spreading someone a little too thin," explains Louise McIntosh.

Towards the end of the film, inconsistency in characters seems to develop. In the scene, where herb shows up at the jail house ready to fight along side Kane changes his mind after he finds out that it will be just him and Kane fighting against Miller and his posse. Herb states, “it isn’t that I don’t want out…I volunteered but this is not what you

Local law enforcement was having little to not success in stopping them. A year later Doolin took control after most of the Daltons was killed in a raid on two banks in Coffeyville. A sting of heist followed for the newly consolidated Doolin. Doolin and his gang were quite good at alluding capture. In fall of 1893, marshals finally closed in on the Wild Bunch when they learned that the Bunch was using the town of Ingalls as a hideout between raids. The afternoon of September 1, 1892, the gang was found inside George Ransom’s saloon. The lawmen moving in for the arrests were headed by Deputy Marshal John Hixon, who bought four other deputies with him- Lafe Shadley, Tim Hueston, Dick Speed and Jim Masterson. The show down started when Hueston was fired upon and dove for cover. Doolin shot and killed Speed as the deputy tried in vain to join Shadley, who was concealed behind the body of a horse. Then Shadley saw one of the outlaws fall wounded, he moved in but Dalton shot him in his tracks. Masterson later threw dynamite into the outlaws’ hiding place and captured Jones one of the members of the Wild Bunch, but the others fled southeast out of town (Government). The escaping outlaws halted at the top of a nearby ridge long enough to fire some final shots at the lawmen, and one of those bullets killed Frank Briggs, an innocent bystander. This pretty much
