Texas Clerk Finds An Original Indictment Of Bonnie And Clyde 

(Fort Worth, TX) -- Tarrant County, Texas clerks are holding on to a piece of history. Workers in the clerk's office have been busy scanning old documents so they can be uploaded to the Internet. Clerk Ann Perry looked at one such document and immediately knew it was special. It's an original indictment of Bonnie and Clyde for murdering two lawmen in Grapevine in the 1930s. The notorious bandits met in Dallas before beginning a two-year spree of robberies and killing lawmen that made them infamous. The April 1934 document says Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow killed two lawmen who had stopped to help a broken-down vehicle in Grapevine. The pair would be killed by officers the following month in Louisiana.
