Tom, I've seen the Ford sedan they were in. It's absolutely amazing, the number of bullet holes that are in that car. I've always heard that Hamer was using a Remington Mod 8 in .35 Rem. And the Deputy had a B.A.R. Have never heard a diffinitive explanation of what they actually used. Mostly just gun shop, "Well ya know...!"
In those days, you did'nt want to "P.O.P". My Dad's uncle was the Chief of Police of Montrose CO., back in the 20s and 30s. A local tough guy he had run ins with. Ambushed him late one night. Killed him with an axe handle. My Dad's cousin, who was on the force,dedicated himself to tracking the guy down.
They found his body in the Gunnison river with a .38 in his head. The local Magistrate, ruled it a hunting accident.
Attitudes on justice were alittle different,back then.
