Now this group of outlaws really seemed to get swept under the rug in terms of popularity. During the Public Enemy Era the names you here were John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Al Capone, Baby Face Nelson, and Dallas' natives, Bonnie and Clyde. But no one had ever heard of the Newton Brothers, and they seemed to be more successful than any of those mentioned above!
Once their story was eventually came to the surface, the brothers boasted that they held up about 70 banks and 6 trains. Willis Newton, the oldest brother, was the defacto boss. He had one major rule, don't kill anyone. If the gang could do this they could stay under the radar, and they did. They were also very smart about not showing their faces, different from John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde.
Now far the fun part. Jess Newton was down in San Antonio out at a bar. Enjoying his liquor, he started running his mouth a little bit and may have said some incriminating things. Nervous that someone would snitch, he went and buried around $100k of the gangs' earnings around the neighborhood of Fulton. Still, it is waiting to be found...
