Kemp Calaboose

It was after Bonnie, Clyde and Ralph Fults had made off with a doctor's motor car,a failed burglary of a store, and the theft of some mules in order to escape the laws that a brief gun battle had erupted. During the skirmish with the laws, Clyde made good his escape. Ralph however, was wounded and he and Bonnie captured. They were immediately detained in a small, one room, dirt floor jail - "The Kemp Calaboose." Bonnie spent one night in the Calaboose in 1932, while townspeople stared in at her. She spit at some of them. She was not charged with a crime and was released.
