Soon Ben is a partner with him in a general store and cotton gin in Gainesville, Cooke County, Texas. Lavena Victoria Cole, age 14, and Ben Hewitt, age 32, are married. Ben gains a reputation as a gunfighter when twice he is forced to kill men to protect his own life. While a deputy sheriff in Arkansas, he kills two members of the Sam Bass gang.
