James Kennedy
Also known as 'Spike', James Kennedy was heir to a Texas fortune. In love with Dora Hand, Kennedy had a rival in James H. 'Dog' Kelley, the mayor of Dodge City, Kansas. When the mayor noticed Kennedy's affections toward Dora, he had Kennedy thrown out of the Alhambra Club. Vowing revenge, Kennedy sneaked up to the mayor's bedroom window and fired a few shots. However, Kelley was not home...Kennedy had shot and killed Dora Hand.
After a wild chase by lawmen Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Charlie Bassett, Neal Brown and Bill Tilghman, Kennedy was apprehended after being shot in the arm by Masterson. When told he had killed Dora instead of his intended target, Kennedy vowed he didn't have the will to live. Helped by family money, Kennedy was found "not guilty" for lack of evidence.
