Hinton, then twenty-nineaged 29, was assigned to accompany Deputy Sheriff Bob Alcorn on the premise that Hinton knew [[Clyde Barrow]] and could identify him. Hinton and Alcorn were assigned by Dallas County Sheriff [[Richard A. "Smoot" Schmid]] to assist [[Frank Hamer]] and his assistant BenjaminManey Gault in a shoot-to-kill order against Bonnie and Clyde that originated with the Texas prison system chief Lee Simmons. When the Texans reached [[Bienville Parish, Louisiana|Bienville Parish]] on the trail of Bonnie and Clyde, they enlisted the aid of Sheriff [[Henderson Jordan (Louisiana sheriff)|Henderson Jordan]] and his deputy, [[Prentiss Oakley]], as required for jurisdictional purposes.

Hinton became a Sheriff's Deputy in 1932 following the election of Schmid. An avid [[baseball]] player, Hinton passed up a chance to join the [[Cleveland Indians]] because he did not want to spend time away from his wife and young son. Born in [[Tulsa, Oklahoma|Tulsa]], [[Oklahoma]], and reared in [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]], he knew the Barrow family in his youth.
