"The people around Lincoln say Garrett didn't kill Billy the Kid. I can take you to the grave in Hell's Half Acre, an old government cemetery, where Billy was supposed to be buried, and show you the grave.

"The cook at Pete Maxwell's was always putting flowers on the grave and praying at it. But...after Pat Garrett killed the man at Maxwell's home, her grandson was never seen again! Billy was seen by Bill Nicholi and an Indian scout. Both swore they saw Billy in old Mexico!

"Pat Garrett and Billy had been good friends, and Garrett knew that Billy wasn't yellow or a coward.

"Billy the Kid never killed without a cause.

"Billy wasn't mean--he was just quick on the draw and did have to practice hours to hit his target. Billy didn't steal--he might borrow a man's horse from his corral, but he would always see that it was returned to him.

"Billy the Kid was welcome at chuck and at all of the dances. He was a good dancer and had nice manners, and always respected everyone. Billy was a jolly-happy-go-lucky person that seemed to bring laughter with him as well as death to his enemies."
