There’s the Purvis clue which leads up, and post #5 refers to coincidence of names. Think middle name.

Except Wyatt Earp was primarily a gambler and land speculator in the final decades of his life. He had an honorary deputy title in the 1920s, but he had no police authority. Also the picture shows a 1933 Ford which Earp would never live to see.

BINGO!! Kudos to you! Well done. And you got his two-gun nickname, too. Twice chief of Los Angeles Police Department. The quote from August 15, 1934.

The Earp-related feature which connected to the mystery lawman was Los Angeles where Earp spent his later years.

Interesting. Wikipedia doesn’t speak in glowing terms about him.

That was a tough one. I wasn’t sure until I looked up his middle name.

I, too, was thinking Wyatt Earp.
Ready to read further, and see who has the right answer...
