Brushy Bill Roberts In His Own Words: The Outlaw Years: Part 3 - In this episode, I continue immediately following the killing of Tom Folliard at Ft. Sumner. I will read directly from William Henry Roberts' tape recorded interviews with William V. Morrison. I will discuss Roberts' account of the killing of Charlie Bowdre, the Kid's capture at Stinking Springs and his trial at Mesilla. Additionally, I will compare Roberts statements with those presented in the book, The Saga of Billy the Kid by Walter Noble Burns to show that the new claim by neo-historians, that Roberts obtained his knowledge of Billy the Kid by memorizing the Burns book is completely unfounded and not based on facts.
