November 25, 1868 - William Ellsworth Lay
A trusted lieutenant within one of the American West's most organized outlaw networks, Lay operated at the operational core of the Wild Bunch during its most active years of robbery and evasion. His role went beyond rank-and-file membership — he was among Butch Cassidy's closest confederates, participating in train and bank robberies across the frontier before his eventual capture and imprisonment.
