Short summary
Based on the detailed description given by banker Sloan, Earp and Hal are sure the man who robbed him on the stage was Henry Harrison Hammer, the Imitation Jesse James from Crawfordsville. He has never been convicted because he supposedly only robs the wealthy. Later Sloan spots the robber's horse in front of a saloon where Earp finds Hammer and arrests him. At the trial the other passenger and stage driver refuse to identify Hammer as the thief so he is released. Flush with money he spends his time gambling in Dodge City with Hal and others watching him closely. A reformed crooked gambler Mr. Wilson arrives on the stage. He sells kitchenware now after Earp suggested a career change in Wichita. Upon hearing about Hammer he suggests letting him take on Hammer to break him. He succeeds so Earp sets up a trap to catch Hammer but it fails. Some of Hammer's "friends" soon come to regret their actions as Earp and Hal track Hammer.
There really was a Henry Harrison Hammer. But, he was born in Winchester, Virginia, USA on 1759. And he died in 1842 in Rockingham, Virginia. He had five children: Abraham, William, Isaac, Jacob, and Sarah. No sons named Henry.
