I learned of this outlaw today. He was Crawford Goldsby. At times known as Cherokee Bill.
He said?

The hanging was scheduled for 11 am, but was delayed until 2 pm so his sister Georgia could see him before the hanging. She was scheduled to arrive at 1 pm on the eastbound train.[5]

Shortly after 2 pm while on the gallows, it was reported Goldsby was asked if he had anything to say and he replied, "I came here to die, not make a speech." About 12 minutes later, Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby, the most notorious outlaw in the Territory, was dead.[5]

If this interests you, you can learn the story here.

This man was a genuine killer.

 
His mixed race (mostly indigenous) gang terrorized Indian Territory for a couple of years.

He was truly a bad man.
