Riches and Ruin: Bonnie and Clyde and the Rise and Fall of the Barrow Gang. Part 2.

When we left our story last week the young outlaws had been separated by iron bars once again. This time though it was Bonnie who had been arrested. After Cylde’s plan to stage a breakout of the Eastham Prison had gone disastrously wrong, the couple had ended up cornered in a Texas riverbank, hunted down by a posse of locals looking for justice against the thieves. Clyde had then made a fateful choice to abandon Bonnie to the authorities and make his own escape.

We pick back up with her waiting in a cell in Kaufman, Texas and hoping that Cylde would come through on his promise to rescue her from the unknown fate that lay ahead.
