• Notes

  James (Jimmy) was killed allegedly by a freight train he was trying to hop on while eluding police in Oakland, Calif. However, his brother Lester Identified his body and said he didn't look like he had been hit by a train... But beaten to death. Jimmy was known as a hot head. A logger by trade, he was described as a very strong man, and probably took on everything OPD had. Lester always hated the Oakland Police after that. Odd he'd try and jump a train when he had his car there.
