Ray Terrill began working with the famed Central Park Gang based in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the early 1920s.
He was also part of Spencer's team, which included Frank Nash among others, that stole $20,000 in cash and bonds from the Katy Limited near Okesa on August 20, 1923.
Using stolen trucks, they extracted the safes and drove them to Herman Barker's home at Radium Springs Health Resort near Salina, Oklahoma.
[1] George and Matthew Kimes robbed their first bank together in Depew, Oklahoma on June 30, 1926, Matt having escaped from jail in Bristow the previous day.
A shootout occurred which resulted in the death of Deputy Perry Chuculate and the kidnapping of the police chief and another hostage as they attempted to flee to Arkansas.
They were trapped by authorities near Rudy the next day, holding out at the home of their cousin Ben Pixley, and surrendered to police after both were wounded in a second gunfight.
[1][2] On November 21, 1926, Terrill led a raid on the Sallisaw jail with Herman Barker and Elmer Inman and broke out their newest recruit, Matthew Kimes.
The gang's first robbery occurred on January 10, 1927, when Kimes, Terrill and Barker stole $42,950 from a bank in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
As described in the book The Mother, the Son and the Socialite, Kimes admitted himself to the hospital under the alias Leo A Woods where a swarm of FBI agents apprehended him the following day.
He died on December 14, 1945, according to the Fort Smith Times and was buried in Van Buren, Crawford county, Arkansas near the graves of his parents.
