billy said he was lying down on top of the stairs when he shot bell

About 45 years ago I walked through this building. I saw the blood on the floor and the bullet holes. I don't blame Billy for what he did. They Murdered Mr. Tunstall. God Bless you, Billy Be safe. Wherever you are. Charles Town.

Bell did not fall dead at the bottom of the stairs. He made it outside and fell in the yard. Olinger ran up to the gait and saw Bell laying there. Someone said," Look Bob the kid killed Bell,: and Bob said, "and he killed me too," as he was looking up into his own shot gun that Billy was holding saying "Hello Bob," BANG!

I've visited the courthouse years ago, I was told they put the plexi over it because people would chip off a piece of the wall for souvenirs... people can't help themselves, they just have to destroy things...

Billy wasn’t a celebrity so why would they have preserved a bullet hole he made instead of repairing it? People weren’t coming to see the famous Billy the Kid when he was in the jail so why would they have any interest in a bullet hole he left? Curator’s daughter said her dad made the hole… case closed

Thanks for the story, you hear so many diff versions its hard to tell whats the truth n what isn't! Kid is my fav outlaw of all time, think he is everyone's. Think about this - TV made a murderer a hero! I mean if we're such hero's of this guy, why do we hate everyone else who kills people today, killing is killing rather it was today or 1877!

i first would like some one verify where billy and bell were standing when he fired. if so that would explain the location of the bullet hole. plus where was bell standing in reference to the wall was he close to the wall when shot or perhaps on the first few steps. bloody hand print could be he stumbled back against it. from seeing the hole a little high i would say they both were on the stairs and close to each other.

Please send me some information about The Curry Saloon. I visited Lincoln several times when I was young, and I remember having the best cherry cider inside a saloon in Lincoln. The Saloon also had many very old games you could play. Do you know anything about this place? I remember the saloon was across the street from the courthouse. Thank you.

The old Curry Saloon is privately owned and hasn't been open as a business in a very long time. The building is still there, it's just not open to visitors.

Garrett said Bell was killed by "a poor shot" a rebound off the top of the stairs entering his right side ....trajectory doesn't align with the" bullet hole" : Brushy said it was by accident he shot Bell at the top of the stairs - at a range of just a few yards - BTK would not have missed as Garrett established.
@SumDumGy4 ай бұрын
Garrett wasn’t present to witness anything and crime scene forensics wasn’t really a thing at the time. I believe Garrett was very often a liar but why do you think Billy couldn’t have missed?

Pat Garrett said he removed a bullet during his investigation days after the incident. There's no other mention of bullets in the wall from the historical record.
