I agree with some others that we are not looking at a typo, but rather someone looking at James and seeing Jomer. Easy if the original was in cursive.

If we had some ham, we could have some ham and eggs. If we had some eggs.

I think what is being discussed was resolved on page 1.

Red found quite a bit more about Special Agent "Doc" White and Ranger Captain Hughes.

The photo of the two of them turned out to likely be from about 1935 when they dressed in their Ranger clothes for a memorial event.

Sorry, back on the Captain John R. Hughes thread drift for a moment. This is a good book about him, published in 1990. I don't know if it's still in print.

Bill could you please elaborate for those of us still not certain? Your views are always well regarded.

Speaking of handwriting styles...

I shot in a local pistol match on Saturday, when I overheard the match director ask a participant who had just turned in his score card "Are you a doctor?" The guy turns around looking surprised and somewhat flattered and he says "why, no...I'm not...why do you ask?" To which the match director, without looking up says dryly "because I can't read your writing!" LOL...cracked me up! The guy took it well; it was all in fun, and he rewrote several things.

Just watched a You Tube video about the Okalakwa, Florida house tour where Ma Barker and the Karpis gang shot it out with the FBI on January 15, 1936. There are numerous mentions of “Doc” White starting at about 34 minutes in when the docent describes the shootout. He and the other 14 other agents were members of the. FBI’s “Flying Squad.”

So I guess your gun’s got additional history!

That is a pic of some mighty fine Texas horse flesh! Texas Rangers rode mules?

The equines in the photo are not mules.

 

[Muley Gil]

What happened to the "horse" picture?

 

[DARE]

Is this the one?

 

[Muley Gil]

That's the one (I think). It's only been 6 months ago I posted.

I can't remember what I had for supper yesterday.

Post 18 is the Historical Foundation document that names Jomer. It is a letter from Potchernick's written in 1936. The letter writer has been dead for many years. The history letter signed by Don Mundell just says FBI agent. There are no other documents that I know of that would clear things up for you.

If a Ranger was riding in rough hill country a mule is the mount of choice. Note riders to thee bottom of the the Grand Canyon ride mules. They're more sure footed that horses unlike horses will never place themselves in danger- stubborn ? Yes, but they're smart too.
