1963, DEATH VALLEY DAYS, DIAMOND FIELD JACK, S12E4, As a child Jack Davis's father is a simple man that is treated as a saddle tramp and vagrant by the towns people where they lived finally dying alone in an alley. As a man Diamond Field Jack, craves the notoriety he feels will save him from the same fate by building a false reputation as fast gun who has killed many men that have challenged his fast gun. Jack is charged with a murder he did not commit but looses the case and is sentenced to hang based on the very reputation that he encouraged.
Trivia about this episode:
Diamond Field Jack (Jack Davis) was a man that was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang 4 Jun 1897 for the murder of two sheepherders but interestingly enough his partner was found not guilty of the same crime even thought they were together when the alleged crime occurred. The evidence surrounding the trials of both men were the same but only Diamond Field Jack was convicted. Jack's attorney James Hawley Later appealed the case but lost and Jack was resentenced to hang on 21 Oct 1898 but just 8 days before the hanging date two other men confessed to the killings saying it was self defense. Sadly though for Jake even though he was off the hook for murder his death sentenced would be commuted to life imprison and it would finally take a Nevada Governors pardon to have him finally released from prison in 1902. Jack would live a nice long life have some success in gold mining and even having the town town of Diamondfield, (near Goldfield) Nevada named after him. He lived to a ripe old age of 85 and died on 27 Dec 1948, after he was run down by a taxi in Las Vegas, NV.
