Ray tries to come off as a John Dillinger,same smooth style of bank robbery. Barrow sort of comes off as a Baby Face Nelson type,quick on the trigger and probably a sadist as well. It was interesting to note that Ray often recruited for his "jobs"the residents of Depression Era hoboe camps,indeed he stayed there himself many times.there was alot of unemployed desperate people there ripe for any opportunity to make some real money or(depart from the world in a hailof bullets.)Of course Ray liked to keep a suitcase with a nice dress suit with him,ready to change skin like a chameleon.When he finally takes his place on the chair,he wants everyone to know,"I never killed anyone".from reading the book i believe he studiously tried to avoid gunplay.The book also shows well how the life of a fugitive is so expensive with different pay-offs to safe houses,etc. so if anyone out there is looking for Hamilton's unrecovered stolen loot,I can say from reading this book,it was spent before Hamilton got his 6 billion amps.Not only that but Hamilton was probably robbing banks to pay his fugitive bills.If only his girlfriend hadn't had such a flat face,who knows where he could have gone! ![]() Dallas Desperados Youth AFL Home Replica Jersey - X-Large (18-20) $40.99 Suit up just like your favorite Arena League Star in this Dallas Desperados Youth AFL Home Replica Jersey from Russell.
