Henry Starr
Henry Starr (1873–1921) was an American horse thief and train robber. He was also convicted of murder once, in the killing of U.S. Deputy Marshal (Floyd Wilson ) on December 13, 1892. Starr claimed in court to not have known he was a U.S. Marshal and only to know that a man had opened fire on him without provocation. Distantly related to Sam Starr, husband of Belle Starr, he was the last in a long line of Starr family criminals. Twice sentenced by Judge Isaac Parker to hang for murder, he managed to escape the noose due to technicalities and went on to form a notorious gang that terrorized and robbed throughout northwest Arkansas around the start of the 20th century. He was imprisoned in 1915, wrote his memoirs and even portrayed himself in a silent movie, 'A Debtor to the Law' in 1919. He was killed by W.J. Myers with a .38 caliber Winchester rifle (1873 model) while attempting to rob a bank in Harrison, Arkansas, in 1921. Henry Starr was the first bank robber to use a car for his getaway in the United States, in Harrison. For decades afterward, Starr supporters targeted the by-then blind W.J. Myers and his family. Myers' grandson was targeted for kidnapping and ransom.
