Talk of Texas by Jack Maguire
In Texas lore a term rabbit twister refers to early West Texas settlers who hunted game by twisting rabbits from burrows with a wire. Crime Stoppers notes that from 1928 to 1964 Texas bank robberies declined after the Texas Bankers Association posted a $5 000 cash reward for each robber killed during a robbery, slowing Bonnie and Clyde era thefts until the reward was withdrawn after 1964 with no claims in two decades.
