      Curious though is once he told them of the hidden money, they could have indeed hung him, then retrieved the $600 without fear of retribution if the truth ever came out. The way I figure it, the only way George could have pulled off this deal is if he took the law to where the stash was hidden and then was let go by the unarmed law (another stipulation of the deal.) George was no dummy and insured himself a clean getaway. This makes more sense and the wagon driver had to have been in on it too. What do you all think about my theory?

      My father in law is George E Cunningham and he originally from NC, he’s dead and gone but I have to wonder if they were kinfolk somehow

      I guess drink at your own risk, right? I want to say, JD, how much I enjoy these stories and appreciate your bringing them to the forefront. Truth is indeed stranger than friction. …. Does remind me though of one of my favorite Gunsmoke eipisodes. A troubled young man was in jail awaiting his date with the gallows. And he was about to go insane with fear. His father asked the hangman to talk to him, on a religious basis if I recall properly. Anyway, after a consult the young man calmed down immediately. People later remarked on the change in him, how bravely he faced his end. Then the hangman confessed he'd told him that he would arrange just about the same ruse as George had, so all would be well. But that was a ruse in itself, as the hangman said a comforting lie was the only mercy he could offer. …. I always found that so touching – and unexpected from a hangman. But people are people, and even the hangman might have mercy of a sort. It's certainly not a job I'd ever want.
