34. Flushing Out the Fugitives
In Buenos Aires, Pinkerton agent Francis DiMaio received a tip about a pair of newly arrived American ranchers in far away Cholila, named Ryan and Place. He telegrammed the regional police to make inquiries, which enhanced the local authorities’ suspicions of, and interest, in Cassidy and Sundance.
While that was going on, Sundance and Ethel rode hundreds of miles to the Argentine coast, where Cassidy was locked up. There, between a combination of high-priced lawyers and high-value bribes, they managed to get him released from custody. However, the trio’s peaceful days in Argentina were numbered, and they knew it. Having made a go at hard work and honest living, only to it see it all come to naught, they went back to crime.
