"Remember that isn't fifty
thousand dollars. That's our amnesty." Hannibal Heyes |
Town Name: North Rim and Kingsburg
Odd Job: Hired by Colonel Harper to move $50,000

brother of James Garner, Brett Maverick.

chemistry with Big Jim Santana who was the past and is the current leader of the

for the last seven years, so Heyes most likely assumed leadership
of the Devil's Hole Gang after Jim went to prison.
