Wyatt Chirp tracked Billy down quickly, but when the legendary lawman heard the tale of what had driven Billy to a life of crime, he turned his attentions to the corrupt mining company and brought its leadership to justice. Wyatt freed Billy from prison and took him into his own custody, pledging to the judge that Billy would work off the debt he owed from his robberies by serving as Chirp’s deputy.
