Clyde is in jail at Eastham Prison Farm, Huntsville, throughout 1931. This is the time he develops "into a rattlesnake". Almost exactly two years from arrest at Bonnie's house early Feb. 1930 to release on crutches early Feb. 1932.

"Later in the year" (could be calendar year or year+ in Eastham) Clyde and Ralph tried to kill informant in Camp 2 by cutting down a tree and letting it fall on him. Connected to "spot killing" of a prisoner, "Two-Gun Stillman" by "Boss Killer". R and C believed, knew?, a rumor that T-GS was marked for death by mgmt because he had leaked information about conditions to a reporter, Harry McCormack (who had interesting involvements w Fults and Hamilton later, concerning muckraking crusade). Fults p. 51.
