Rare photo of barrow gang member RAYMOND HAMILTON.

Ray graduated to "Major Crime" when he met Bonnie and Clyde. During an escape
from Prison, Joseph Crowson, a guard was slain. For that crime, Raymond was to die
in the "electric chair." He did, on the evening of May 10, 1935 Raymond and fellow
inmate Joe Palmer, were both to die that evening. Because of Raymond being so upset,
Palmer agreed to go first. Raymond finally composed himself and followed.
Just before the current was applied, Raymond turned momentarily to the assembled
witnesses and said, "Well...goodbye all".
