Fact or Fable? Weaver Hickman

In his eariler days Papa Hickman had been a constable (a form or law enforcement) or a sheriff and no stranger to "getting the job done". We have PaPa Hickman on audio tape talking about chasing criminals etc. I also have an audio tape with James Ham (Gertrudes brother) and he tells of a story that occurred in a little town not far from San Antonio in which PaPa Hickman either murdered a man and set a fire to cover it up OR he let the man die purposely in the fire. This story has been around awhile and I believe that it was Aunt Dorothy who asked her father about it and he would never discuss it. James Ham was not only a brother-in-law to Weaver, he was also a long time friend and also worked with him in the cafes at times. Mother (Jean) and I were always intrigued with this story and intended to check it out on a little road trip. I'll have to get the tape out and listen to it again and possibly take a little trip!
