e would have been 10 when B&C died. Sure it’s possible he sold them cigarettes and a Coke but I’d bet his story is BS.
He was 11 when they died. Given that it was the Depression, it was not unusual for a kid to be working. His Wikipedia page stated he pumped their gas for them, though he didn’t recognize them until later.
Ralph Hall's claim isn't as farfetched as you might think.
Bonnie was from Dallas Texas, and Clyde grew up in adjacent Ellis County. Ralph Hall was from Fate, which is a small town about 20 miles east of the Dallas city limit.
The I-30 freeway runs from Dallas, right past Fate, which would have been a sure gas stop back in the days when I-30 was a two lane highway.
If Ralph Hall worked in any country store in 1930s Fate, he probably saw Bonnie and Clyde multiple times.
