Have to wonder if Lefors was an inside man for the gangs. His position to lead posse's and give chase, but never quite catch the bandits would have pulled a lot of resources away from catching the gang members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.49.54 (talk) 06:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I edited the second sentence of the article since it said that Lefors was best known for Tom Horn's arrest, which isn't strictly accurate since he didn't actually arrest him (and the arrest itself wasn't particularly dramatic), and it implied that there was a widespread-enough-to-note-it belief that Lefors had falsified Horn's evidence that caused him to be hanged for a murder he didn't commit. I assume "evidence" is referring to the confession, in which case I don't think it's widely believed that Lefors altered it. Horn wrote a letter from prison to Charlie Ohnhaus claiming that Ohnhaus had been paid to add incriminating bits in, but I don't know if most historians believe that. If any of this is wrong, cite a source when you re-add it. I wanted to add something about the actual debate about the confession (that Horn was - to quote Larry D. Ball quoting a journalist in 1903 - "prone to claim to have committed every murder of which he had heard") but I couldn't figure out a way to fit it in to the lead gracefully, especially since this article is about Lefors and not Horn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.117.210.98 (talk) 17:48, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
