Born in Oklahoma, Elliott was convicted of bank robbery in 1922 and sentenced to the McAlester State Penitentiary eventually escaping on August 14 , 1932 . Soon after joining Birdwell and Floyd, the three robbed a bank in Sallisaw, Oklahoma of $2,530. Although identified by witnesses raiding a bank in Henryetta of $11,352 only six days later, several reports attributed the robbery to the Ford Bradshaw gang. Along with Adam Richetti and Edgar Dunbar , Elliott robbed $3,000 from a bank in Ash Grove, Missouri on January 12 , 1933 before fleeing to the home of Richetti's brother in Bolivar . Captured four months later in Creek County, Oklahoma on May 14 , Elliott was imprisoned for five months before again escaping on October 28 . Despite the extensive manhunt by authorities, Elliott refused to flee Oklahoma and, along with bandits Raymond Moore and Eldon Wilson , was eventually trapped by police near Sapulpa, Oklahoma and engaged in a gun battle resulting in the deaths of all three men as well as Sapulpa Police Chief Tom Brumley and Patrolman Charles Lloyd on February 3, 1934.
