Stringtown Dance Murder August 5, 1932
During this time, Clyde was wanted for a Hillsboro, TX murder he was involved in as the getaway driver. Barrow gang member Ray Hamilton, who decided to go straight and work in Michigan with his father, returned to Dallas after he was laid off his job and gets falsely accused of the same Hillsboro murder. Ray, now a wanted man, rejoins Clyde and Bonnie. Bonnie had just served 2 months in jail and was seeing Clyde in secret behind her mother's back. Clyde, Ray, and a third participant named Ross Dyer, decide to wait for things to cool off in Texas and head to Oklahoma. Bonnie does not join the rest of the gang and instead, chose to stay at home with her mother.
As the gang are pulling into Stringtown, Oklahoma, they pick up a hitchhiker along the way and Ross Dyer spots an outdoor country dance in an open pavilion and wants to stop by in search for some moonshine. The trio stuck out like a sore thumb in their flashy gangster suits while everyone else are in overalls and worn out clothes, already raising suspicion towards themselves. Bootleg liquor was being passed around, the lawmen were aware but allowed it unless trouble escalated. Once the boys filled up their flasks, they agreed to hang around a while.
Ross and the hitchhiker were interested in the dance unlike Clyde and Ray who were wanted for murder. Allowing their friends to have their fun, the wanted men stayed in the car, reparking numerous times to avoid getting blocked in. Sheriff Maxwell and Deputy Moore receive complaints from angry drunken men about Ross and his new friend mingling with their girlfriends. The lawmen standby and take notice of them going back and forth from Clyde's lavish ride to the dance floor, and quickly catch on to their suspicious behavior.
Leaving no choice but to arrest them first, they approach their car window, and Deputy Moore starts announcing their arrest. But before he could fully get his words out, Clyde and Ray fire their guns without hesitation. Moore dies instantly, but Sheriff Maxwell miraculously survives six gunshot wounds. A two man band were playing that night, one guitar player and one fiddler. The guitarist indicated that when he hit the first chords of "Way Down Yonder", "Hell broke loose, and I mean hell." Ross, who was on the dancefloor, did not make the getaway car and got left behind with the hitchhiker. Ross later gets captured in Texas. The Stringtown dance marks the first time Clyde or Ray had ever killed a policeman.

John Wesley Hardin – Gunslinger
Texas. The Lone Star State. A state famous and notorious in equal measure for its outlaws. Bonnie and Clyde, Ray and Floyd Hamilton, ‘Tex’ Lucas and the notorious “Cowboy” gang that moved into Arizona and ruled Tombstone until the famed gunfight at the OK Corral all spring to mind. But before all of them there came an outlaw as feared, yet also as celebrated, as Texas has ever known and his name…

Translation of Clyde Barrow's four page letter written to Ex-Barrow gang member, Ray Hamilton. This letter was most likely written by Bonnie who had the neater handwriting. Clyde also wasn't very literate and misspelled a lot in his own hand-written letters.
"Raymond, I’m very sorry to hear of your getting captured, but due to the fact that you offered no resistance, sympathy is lacking. The most I can do is hope you miss the chair. The purpose of this letter is to remind you of all the dirty deals you have pulled. When I came to the farm after you I thought maybe the joint had changed you from a boastful punk. However I learned too soon the mistake I had made. The first thing that aroused my suspicion was your suggestion of shooting Joe Palmer in the back while he was asleep. You soon learned how I felt about such cat ideas. Since then I’ve found your reasons for wanting to do this was because Joe was on the farm with you and knew what kind of a guy you were. The next impression was when we got the road blocked on us in the Ozarks and you were too yellow to fight. You cowered in the floorboard, afraid of being shot.
Now that you’re in the Dallas jail you have a tested pal, W.D. Jones, you might get a few pointers from him on how to impress the people you were an innocent, or possibly forced companion of the ruthless Barrow gang. You might be as lucky as he was in making them believe I kept you handcuffed or tied. When you wanted to get your Prostitute Sweetheart I thought it OK. But when you were so persistent about her going to town alone. That idea wasn’t so hot. I thought then and truthfully believe now that should she have gotten off without Bonnie she would have spotted us all. She hails from a rat family and you couldn’t expect better from her. You exposed your hole card when you stole the money from us on the Lancaster job. That’s what I have my rear vision mirror for to watch suspicious people. When I demanded a shake down you offered such strange excuses for having the money on you. I should have killed you then. I would have saved myself much bother and money looking for you. Far after you writing that letter saying you didn’t stoop so low as to rob filling stations I have done nothing but look for you. Should I have found you, you wouldn’t have had a chance to give up. You couldn’t stand the rift of the outlaw life. For one reason you were too yellow and knew you could never surrender with me and another reason you wanted to play ‘Big Shot,' sleep in hotels and ride passenger trains. You weren’t intelligent enough to know that you couldn’t live like a king and stay out. I don’t claim to be too smart. I know that some day they will get me but it won’t be without resistance. You only carried your guns around to show off or else kidnap women and children. I guess you find where your boastful long tongue has gotten you. Maybe you can talk yourself out of the chair. Or maybe you can write a few more letters (try one to the governor) at least it will gain you some publicity. When you started the rumor about Bonnie wanting a cut of the loot you sure messed yourself up. I have always taken care of Bonnie and never asked any thief to help me. I hope this will serve the purpose of letting you know that you can never expect the least of sympathy or assistance from me. So long.”
— Clyde Barrow
