Charley Crawford

Charley Crawford (died 16 July 1878) was a member of Sheriff George Peppin's posse during the Lincoln County War. During the Battle of Lincoln, Crawford was hired as a sharpshooter, and Billy the Kid - who was defending the McSween house - called out to Sheriff Peppin and told him that he noticed that he had Charley Crawford with him. The sheriff responded positively, and Billy then shot Crawford from quite a distance with his revolver, shouting "Hey Peppin! Charley Crawford ain't with ya anymore!".
