The Escape

Finally, the three raiders in the bank leave, after killing the teller, Joseph Lee Heywood.  Mr. Heywood was the hero that day.  He refused to open the safe.  There is still some uncertainty about who fired the shot that killed him.   It is fascinating that Mr. Heywood's ancestors still live in the area.  And, a stained glass window is in the church he attended, in his memory.
 


The robbers mount up and being to flee.


All of the Younger brothers were wounded but managed to escape.  Clell Miller and William Stiles never made it out of town.
