Lom
Trevors
(James Drury)
Sheriff
of Porterville in Wyoming. He is a former outlaw who knew
Heyes and Curry during his outlaw years. Heyes and Curry
consider him a friend and once he became sheriff of Porterville,
they deliberately stayed away from the town because of their
friendship. Heyes and Curry asked Lom to act as go-between
with the Governor of Wyoming on the amnesty. It was Lom who gave
them their aliases of Mr Smith and Mr Jones (though we don't know
how they got Joshua and Thaddeus). Lom continues to act as
go-between and the boys contact him from time to time about the
progress of the amnesty. |

the time Big Jim Santana arrived but later came back as leader once
more. |

Heyes and Curry were already seeking the amnesty and Big Jim
returned to Devil's Hole and once again became leader. He was
planning a big job to rob the Wells Fargo Clearing House in Denver
and had brought a lot of extra men into the Gang when Heyes
(visiting with Mrs Phillips who was supposedly trying to find her
husband) persuaded Big Jim to stay on the right side of the law and
he ran out on the gang in the middle of the night. He then
went off to San Francisco with Mrs Phillips. Big Jim is also
