One month after the murders, Newman was also killed by Mexican Rurales. Phin\u2019s brother was also linked to a number of face-offs with Deputy Marshals. Over time, Phin and his brother Ike became enemies of the Earps. At the Gunfight at the OK Corral in 1881, their brother Billy was killed and Phin was accused of attempted murder two months later. However, a number of cowboys vouched for Phin\u2019s alibi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Wild West<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A life of close calls with the law led the two brothers to seek refuge in rural Arizona. They fled to the northern part of the state to stay with their sister and brother-in-law. However, they roped their brother-in-law into stealing livestock with them and this led to an eventual indictment. Ike was killed by resisting arrest, and Phin served just under two years of a 10-year prison sentence before succumbing to pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Globe and the surrounding area is full of Wild West tales, but Phin\u2019s is one well-documented in the history books. Spend some time exploring the local graves and discover part of Globe\u2019s incredible past. No wonder the cemetery is a popular destination for spooky storytelling come autumn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Exploring old cemeteries and tombstones is a unique and fascinating way to discover a region\u2019s history.
