Blackjack Ketchum was an old timey bank robber. He was violent and unstable. He was the first and last person to be executed for train robbery in New Mexico. This is the story of the botched hanging of Blackjack Ketchum. This was from my live show in the Spring at the Rio Bravo Brewing company outdoor stage. There is some traffic noise so I apologize for that.
