[PAR] [TLE] Virgil Earp [SEP] Virgil Walter Earp (July 18, 1843 – October 19, 1905) was both deputy U.S. marshal and Tombstone, Arizona City Marshal when he led his brothers Morgan and Wyatt and Doc Holliday in a confrontation with outlaw Cowboys at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881.  They killed brothers Tom and Frank McLaury and Billy Clanton.  All three Earp brothers had been the target of repeated death threats made by the Cowboys who were upset by the Earps' interference in their illegal activities.  All four lawmen were charged with murder by Ike Clanton, who had run from the gunfight.  During a month-long preliminary hearing, Judge Wells Spicer exonerated the men, concluding they had been performing their duty. [PAR] [TLE] Wyatt Earp [SEP] Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp (March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929) was an American Old West gambler, a deputy sheriff in Pima County, and deputy town marshal in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, who took part in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, during which lawmen killed three outlaw cowboys.  He is often mistakenly regarded as the central figure in the shootout in Tombstone, although his brother Virgil was Tombstone city marshal and deputy U.S. marshal that day, and had far more experience as a sheriff, constable, marshal, and soldier in combat.
