Chills racked my cold, damp body as rain dropped off my chin and nose. I huddled as close as I could get to the dying fire. Only a few warm coals and warm ash was left. I placed my hands into the warm coals and ash to finally gain some feeling back into them. That’s where I heard the noise again.

Hellhole was known to the authorities in Topeka as the place where lawmen went to die. Claw Kiley had served in the Union Army during the Civil War, being discharged, as he had entered, a private. That fact hardly qualified him for a Federal position,...
