He was James Brown Miller and he was a hired killer, from 1861 until he was lynched by a mob in Ada, Oklahoma on April 19, 1909. Known by his employers as “Killin’ Jim,” “Killer Miller” and “Deacon Jim,” he did not drink or smoke – the cigar in the photo was for publicity – and he attended the Methodist Church regularly. He was known to have killed at least 12 men – and there are those who state he was the one who killed Pat Garret. On August 28, 1902, he killed a lawyer by the name of James Jarrott. Jarrott had defended farmers near Lubbock who where putting up fences. The ranchers, who found their range shut off, paid Miller $500 for the deed. Miller had to shoot Jarrott four times to kill the man. Later he said, “He was the hardest damn man to kill I ever tackled.” In April of 1909, Miller shot and killed a former Deputy U.S. Marshal in Ada, Oklahoma and a mob outrated citizens lynched him.
