Well He's Gone

He's gone. I don't know where. I know nothing about the person I've spent so long with and so long hiding from. I know how he must of felt. I can only hope he's moved to Chicago.

Gibsland - Sailes Louisiana community interact with B/C?The Coles part in the Bonnie/Clyde story:1.Did Methvin rent He ask Cole at Store Sailes La near John Coles Cabin or Coles allow Ivy,b-c,Methvin,to stay John Cole abandon farm house.At time 1934(house vacant3yrs)the house livable.Of course no run water (pump outside)and outhouse (toilet)outside.But Clyde Dad Henry Starr gas Station didn't have them either & clyde lived under a bridge/Shantytown camp ground til moved Eagleford rd -Clyde/Bonnie used to this?Bonnie/Clyde last meal (canfield cafe) Gibsland near Gus Cole Store Sailes Louisiana.Theory1:1:when Otis Cole heard that someone had been seen at his father's old (john cole place) house near Sailes, Louisiana, Otis and his young wife Odie set off through the woods to this abandoned farmhouse to investigate. There it's said the Coles encountered Ivy Methvin on the front porch of this Cole family home. Ivy was noted to have been drunk or acted like it. The story goes that Ivy asked Otis, if he knew anyone who was bootlegging-- someone he could get a drink from?? When Otis answered "I don't fool with that stuff" (otis earlier story). Theory2:2:Mildred Cole said:Mr Methvin was sitting on the porch,and hews the one,that talk to Otis Cole and the house belonged to his father. Uncle John Cole.what we called him. it was house abandoned for yrs it was just grown up just a perfect hide out,you could hardly get a car in there.and my daddy (otis) said that he knew that must be from the description ,that he had to wait on them,at the store there.The Country Store there and there always when they ,stopped at the store,(clyde or) Bonnie went in the store (other stay car) clyde stay in the car.Bonnie went into the store,Groceries,was a few things,They bought, and clyde stay in car. Bonnie came in the store she did have noticeable limp, my father,had mentioned that to us about that.how she looked. We knew Bonnie and clyde was in the area .We had discussed it before with,we said,probably it was, bonnie(parker) and Clyde (barrow),we knew someone was hiding out there in my uncle john's house. James Cole said: My father, went up to my uncle Gus (augusto) had a little country store,516 intersection 154,and my father, went up there, just before dark, and in the evening,and I don't remenber the exact date, sometime before they were (bonnie/clyde) killed,and there was a man old man (ivy) Methvin down at the coaster ,was there.and He asked daddy,for John Cole House was vacant? Daddy told him ,yes they were,owning what they were called pole truck back in those days.He said there wasa woman,sitting on truck,and a man ,in overalls,a little bitty fella he had the keenist black eyes he had ever seen.Also standing back up against the door,with his hands,(a gal sit over)Methvin went inside,and daddy went on in with him.(Oldman Ivy Methvin Talk to Coles about John Cole cabin at store) B/C jan16,1934 Eastham help release prisoners prison then Henry Methvin hook up with bonnie/Clyde? So it is understandable that B/C took Henry to Ivy (jan17-18-1934)then Methvin allow B/C to stay with them ,til got idea find hideout, John Cole cabin,Then Ivy knew Coles,ask about it and probarbly got permission ?Ivy Methvin seen countless times at Gus Cole store 516 intersection 154 -mile Sailes Lousiana.In 1934 ambush Rd fka La Rte 154 gravel road hwy 418,arrive crossroads Sailes Corner intersects La418 (hwy Rte516) wind road. Turn off 1/2 miles long road,being Mamie Murphy Road, Mamies House , Otis Coles house, John Coles House ,at time of Bonnie /Clyde?

I was with them on Monday night,they killed them on Wednesday Morning (5-23-1934).Mr Robert Brunson claim he talk to bonnie/clyde he accidently met them near his (Brunson) boyhood home while squirrel hunting his dog bayed them,at their hideout in the woods (5-21-1934) Mangham La.Interview Percy Methvin and Willie Methvin both confirmed that bonnie&clyde met Henry Methvin on black lake on the night of either Monday or or Tuesday (5-22-1934). Memo _ _ _#26-31672:it was learned Bonnie/clyde with some of the Methvin (family)members,Had staged a party (food/booze) at black lake,Louisiana,on the night of May,21,1934. Percy Said: So Uncle Ivy (methvin) Henry's Daddy,Give em' away,and that's when (posse) Bienville parrish (posse) they shot killed Bonnie&Clyde them right there,That's right, They let Henry(methvin)go.Footnote:1.ted Hinton claim he tied Ivy to tree.2.Alcorn undid tire made look Ivy flat tire trouble.3. B~C slow down to stop ,Ivy said ,Bonnie do have a drink for me.4.Prentis Oakley did 1st shot ,Henderson Jordan all rest posse start shooting as well Gault/Hamer.

Get back,clearly,B~C left black lake,night 5-21-1934 camp out near Mangham,and plan return Bienville parish next dayto meet Henry Methvin at his parents home,(old john cole place).So in B~C car tent/blanket-etc?Definitely showed that B~C didn't quite trust Methvin Family? Ivy sons Cecil /Terrill both lived Bienville parish area so wouldn't Ivy want stay Old John Cole place to be closer to his son's? Avie went to all Henry Methvins court cases even testify that Henry tried to get away from B~C?So B~C fatal mistake was to trust the Methvin's?Or was Cecil/August Cole (Saile La) as Mildred Cole/Lavohn Cole said Ivy came to uncle store talk to daddy about Old john Cole place. That B~C both came to Uncle Gus Store Sailes La bought gas/groceries even gave kids a pop and Coles all knew B~C was in area and even seen Bonnie limp?

(remenber Bonnie -Clyde died May 23,1934)At about 9:15 a.m., as Bonnie and Clyde approached from the north, in a stolen 1934 Ford Sedan, they apparently spotted Methvin's truck and began to slow down, probably to see if they could be of some help. Suddenly, the lawmen sprang from their positions. Whether someone shouted "Halt!" or not is uncertain. Regardless, before Bonnie and Clyde could reach for their guns, the officers opened fire with automatic weapons. The ambush site lies on the west side of Louisiana Hwy. 154.
Frank Hamer said He located their hideout on Feb 17,1934.I can not give the name of the parish, because of what followed, because I was out of texas,it was desirable for me ,to take (talk) the local officers into my confidence,(hamer) I learned that the Sheriff of this parish, could not be trusted and so it was arranged to have (clyde barrow) hideout moved into a parish, where the officers were more reliable.In a comparatively short time the hide out was established in Bienville parish,at a place known to me (frank Hamer).The next task was to catch Barrow at home. On several occasions I (hamer) went alone to this secret place.....The end would have come 2 or 3 weeks earlier had not some local _ made a drag on Ruston Louisiana, and Clyde heard of it,He quit,the country, and I (hamer) had to wait for him (Clyde) to return.
( Henry Methvin) gov agreed to methvin pardon was giving valuable information that led to the apprehension and capture of Bonnie and Clyde.
Methvin wrote to Hamer: I received my pardon ,and (methvin) thankyou very much,for what yuo have done for me,Mr Hamer, I (methvin) am in need of work and if you know of any place, you can get me a job i would appreciate it very much.
Footnote: 516 gravel road (1934) Sailes Louisiana. John Cole abandoned Farm house near Sailes .Sailes filling station owned coles. Otis Cole house 516 which he seen Ivy Methvin on porch of John Cole House. And did 15 yr old Rbt Brunson of Mangham come across bonnie/clyde near his father's farm .

Kevin Costner said He was at the spot B/C killed (5-23-1934)He wondered about the people in the car?if were laughing,sleeping,i know live out of car isn't glamorous?Woody Harrelson said:(he at spot)We both had a strong reaction,to it , because as an, actor, you're using a lot of imagination,when you're right on the spot,final moment,B-C final breaths,were taken, it really, kind of ,amplifies it.Kevin Costner said,Yeah,i think it amplifies it. Footnote Question: Ted Hinton being a person that knew both B-C, probarbly had crush on Bonnie,do you think he had those thoughts ? Now Hamer/Gault wanted to rid of those varmits? Sheriff Jordon who contact Methvins in Castor La/Minden(apr23,1934)? How about gobetween John Joyner profited by it, later 9-24-1942 he kills his wife clara?Then you have Otis Cole,Gus Cole (store/gas station Sailes La) Mildred Cole,James Cole,LaVohn Cole Neal,all say that Ivy went store ,Bonnie/Clyde went to the Store? They all said John Cole place perfect hide out for outlaws, hard to get to ,Hwy 154 to Sailes turn Hwy 516,to maimie Rd to Cole Rd (remenber also 516 Hwy at corner is Coles Rd) ?So did Costner/Harrelson visit the old site of John Cole house B~C hideout?(also what do you think of Bob Wells,Nomadic lifestyle -endorse people live out of car?)
