JOE CHANCELLOR ALIAS "KID" JOHNSON
"Kid" Johnson's" partner Charlie Ross Escapes Jail
Just over a month after the killing of Albuquerque town Marshals McGuire and Henry "Kid" Johnson's partner in crime, Charlie Ross, along with another prisoner Peter Trinkhaus escape the Bernalillo County jail and make good their escape on the night of Jan. 4th, 1887. It was believed to be an inside job. Posses were immediately sent out to apprehend the miscreants. Just two weeks later both Trinkhaus and Ross along with Joe Chancellor alias "Kid" Johnson would be involved in a train wrecking that would rock New Mexico.
