In the early 1900s, two families in Scurry and Kent counties in West Texas united in a marriage of fourteenyearold Gladys Johnson to twentyoneyearold Ed Sims. Billy Johnson, the father, set up Gladys and Ed on a ranch, and the young couple had two daughters. But Gladys was headstrong and willful, and Ed drank too much, and both sought affection outside their marriage. A nasty divorce ensued, and Gladys moved with her girls to her fathers luxurious ranch house, where she soon fell in love with famed Texas Ranger Frank Hamer. When Ed tried to take his daughters for a prearranged Christmas visit in 1916, Gladys and her brother Sid shot him dead on the Snyder square teeming with shoppers.One of the best lawyers in West Texas, Judge Cullen Higgins (son of the old feudist Pink Higgins) managed to win acquittal for both Gladys and Sid. In the tradition of Texas feudists since the 1840s, the Sims family sought revenge. Sims soninlaw, Gee McMeans, led an attack in Sweetwater and shot Billy Johnsons bodyguard, Frank Hamer, twice, while Gladysby now Mrs. Hamerfired at another assassin. Hamer shot back, killed McMeans, and was nobilled on the spot by a grand jury watching the shootout through a window. An attempt against Billy Johnson failed, but a threeman team shotgunned the widely respected Cullen Higgins. Texas Rangers and other lawmen caught one of the assassins, extracted a confession, and then prompted his suicide in a Sweetwater jail cell. Number Nine: A.C. Greene Series
