The Curious Murder of Manny Clements

The 1908 Christmas holidays weren’t good for Manny Clements. In fact, the year’s end brought about his end as well. 

That Manny would have a violent death should be no surprise. His Texas gunthrower father, Emmanuel Sr., died in an 1887 shoot-out. The baddest shootist of all, John Wesley Hardin, was Manny’s first cousin once removed. And his sister, Sally, married assassin “Killin’” Jim Miller.
