Also present is Blackjack Jenny, whose son Billy disappeared after telegraphing her about a job there. She is convinced that Billy and his friend Caleb are dead. Heyes and the Kid confront the bank manager, and manage to convince him that they are bounty hunters, and that they were on Heyes and the Kid's track far away when the burglary took place. That way he gives them the name of the woman who said that it was Heyes and the Kid who stole the money. But is there someone else involved?
