The story about Mary Ringo was, in my feeble memory, something from Gilchriese who claimed Wyatt said that to Flood and Flood told him. Flood is disastrously vague and confusing.

          ...for proving I'm right when I refer to my deteriorating memory. I appologize, Peter, for incorrectly correcting your aparently prisine memory.

            Bob No worries. None of it explains why a suicide would be falsified. Ringo was not wanted for any crime although seems acknowledged to be a rustler. Are you thinking that some of the big ranch... more
