James Krievell, age 82, a white male from Haysville, Kansas, was caught in the path of a violent bank raid during the early Prohibition crime spree of Eddie “Edward J.” Adams. In September 1921, as Adams and his newly formed gang struck banks in Rose Hill and Haysville for roughly $10,000, Adams pistol-whipped Krievell without provocation. The blow fractured Krievell’s skull, and he later died of his injuries, turning a robbery into a killing that shocked his community.
