regular rifle practice, shooting at

rode for hours, holding their weapons,
not to have them ready for action, but
simply to get the training.
1t was member of the Bert Casey
band whom | prosecuted who told me
that Casey was one of the best shots,
the quickest and most accurate of all
his men. He said also that Casey was
absolutely devoid oil fear and con-
science, thinking no more of Filling the

experts. as were most of the members
of their bands The Daltons undoubt-

through the cracks with such good aim
as to do more execution than all the
other, citizens IN the fight cofftpined.
Ordinarily. the Daltons would have
made good their escape.
1t is the opinion of Judge Speed that

marshal was for years tie most rear

make them fear him, he knew, was to
