Longley's account of this murder differs from that of his later killings, where he was more inclined to brag about shooting men than to try to divert blame to others. Some versions of Green's killing claim he was a member of the Texas State Police; the TSP only existed from 1870 to 1873. Longley drifted around Texas for a time, and while gambling in saloons he became acquainted with noted gambler, Phil Coe In 1869, Longley and his brother-in-law, John Wilson, embarked on a crime spree through southern Texas.
