GUNNER OF WEST

TALKS OF BERT CASEY
Former U. 8. Attorney for Oklahoma
Tells How Marshal Fossett Inspired
Three Desperadoes, His Prisoners,
With Respect by Rare Rife Shot.

Guthrie. Okla.-"It has been the case
frequently that 1t was possible to
identify the slayer in outlaw days IN
Oklahoma and other sections OF the
southwest either by marks on the
body of the slain person or the posi-
ton in which the dead body was
found" says Judge Horace Speed OF
Guthrie, who was United States at
torney for Oklahoma for sixteen years
and prosecuted many outlaws and gun
men.
Speed was first appointed when Ok
lahoma was opened to settlement, In
1889, by President Harrison. and later
served under several other admins
trations. During his days as CHIEF
prosecutor here for the government
he was active against members Of the
Dalton. Doolin and other outlaw gangs,
and studied their ways and method
as a means of helping himself In
prosecutions Of criminals.
Nearly every outlaw who was o
killer had a different method Of treat.
ing the bodies of his victims" says
Judge Speed.
"As a rule, the outlaw was very su
perstitious. and 1t was for this rea
son mainly that he would show the
greatest respect for a victims body
in many instances performing the last
rites In truly ministerial manner
Other outlaws, and these were always
of the most wicked brand, would NAL
treat and disfgure the bodies Of their
victims. and 1t was easy for an officer
who understood these things to tell
at q glance who the killer had been.
The most bloodthirsty man that
ever came under my observation was
Bert Casey, one of the last outlaw
leaders in the southwest. He was al.
ways with his boots on always ready
to kill, and invariably he marked the
victims bodies in q manner that never
failed to reveal that Casey was the
killer.
"Casey's mark was q kick In his
victims face. He would turn q dead
body over after having killed in order
to kick the face. leaving heel i'm
print on his victim. This, in my opin-
ion, was because Casey was SO thor
oughly wicked.
His victims, too, we're many, and
the list included not only some Of the
hravest officers In the country. but al.
so members Of his own band, for
Casey was also treacherous. II 1t hap
pened that he did not like some mem.
