End of Jim Crow Chiles and the Independence Killer
Charles Peacock of Independence was drawn into the Jesse James case motions for a special judge, recalling the guerilla era on Kansas City’s streets. In Independence in 1873 Peacock, then deputy marshal, argued with Jim Crow Chiles on the square after Chiles, drunk and bold, threatened him. Peacock and Chiles dueled. Peacock fired, mortally wounding Chiles who died minutes later at a hotel.
