BILLY THE KID. The True History of the Boy- Devil's Terrible Explosits. “He Only Killed Hleven Men That I Know of"—De- tails of His Own Death, Bpeclal Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat, Lamy, New Mexico, July 29, 1881, —~In your paper of last Monday, which, owing to the floods and wash- outs along the railroad, has just reach- ed here, I see you copy the long and absurd sketch of “Billy the Kid” and his fictitious ‘“‘castle,” furnished the Philadelphia Times by its correspor dent at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, in a letter dated July 10. The Times correspondent gives, as the hero of an alleged wonderful adventure in the castle of the famous *“Kid,” and the authority for his Munchausenish pen- picture of that redoutable boy-devil, a fr. Duncan, who is d-scribed as hav ing been at one time a member of Gen. Sherman’s staff, but when his “adventure’” occurred connected with arailroad surveying party, and ‘‘now ul trader at Alamosa, New The whole story of ‘‘the K gor- geous styles is the wildest bosh; his “impregnable castle” was a clear case of *‘a castlein Spain;” and his ¢old- braided broadcloth, his royally-capari- soned steed, his black buckskin trous- ers with rows of fringe and silver bells down the legs, and his $300 hat blaz- ing with gold and jewels were the gauziest fabrics of a whiskied brain. But without any of this blazonry of humbug and embroidery of fiction, the history of “Billy the Kid" eclipses all THE OMAHA DALLY BEE | rectaim their Solis tween the h occurrence. tirm Dolan & Co., headed t and herders opposed to Chisam and | MeSwain, Both sides enlisted all the | strength and influence they could Chisum and McSwain hired. “Billy. the kid."” and his reckless dare-devil- ism, his deadly marksmanship, his skill as a horseman, and MIS DELICHT IN MURDER atonce made him the leader of faction. Early'in 1879 Chisum had ‘‘the Kid"” appointed deputy constable, and armed with a warrant for the arrest, on some tri charge, of William Morton and Frank Barker, herdsmen in the employ of Tom Catron, former- ly of Lafayette county, Mo., and the partner of Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, also a Missouri boy, but long the New Mexican delegate in congress, and now one of the “‘solid me of New York. After arresting Morton and Barker the Kid declared his determi- nation to kill them. A man named McCluskey, who had accompazied him and assisted in making the arrest, interfered to prevent the murder. The Kid promptly shot him dead in his tracks and then KILLED THE TWO PRISONERS near Chisum's ranch. Sheriff Brady and Deputy Sheriff George Hindman, of Lincoln county, went out to arrest him for this triple murder. The Kid waylaid them, and firing upon them from behind the adobe wall around McSwain’s house, killed them both. He now gathered around him a band of outlaws and desperadoes and defied county, terri- tory and United States nut{mrihiel. In June, 1879, Marion Turner, deputy sheriff of Lincoln county, had a war- rant placed in his hands tor the arrest of the Kid for the murder of Morton, Barker, McOluskey, Brady and Hind- man. Turner organized a posse of v ns be were constant | Murphy, | ranchwen | his Beadle’s dime romances of border ruf- fianism and crime, and dims by com- arison the luster of Misgouri's pet Eeros- and exemplars, the dashing Jameses. He needs no bogus silver spurs stuck on his heels by a Phila- delphia scribbler to send him gallop- ing down to A BLOODY AND DARE-DEVILISH IMMOR- TALITY in the annals of this strange, wild ter- ritory. 'The, simple story of his hide- ous career would fill a volume written in letters of fire and blood, and give a better idea than all the inventions and pen-and-ink extravaganzas of a thousand correspondents, of the des- peradoism that RM for years cursed New Mexico and retarded the develop- ment of the richest mining region on the continent. *‘The Kid” was the incarnation of New Mexican civiliza- tion, as it has been in the rufliauly days not yet gone by—~the civilization of the pistol and knite, of ritles with the number of their victims notched on their stocks]of savage Apache raids and massacres, of ruthless vendettas and assassinaiions, and urderous wars between would te cattle kings and boss land-grant swindlers—a civ- ilization of which THIS SIGNIFICANT OUTCROPPING appears in the Las Vegas Daily Gazette of day before yesterday morn- ing: “NOTICE! THIEVES, CUT-THROATS, MURDERERS! “You are notified that your pres- ence will not be tolerated in the vicinity of Las Vegas after 10 o'clock p. m., Wednesday, 27th. This notice sintended toinclude the ‘Ks,” and all other persons not engaged in earn- ing a livelihood in a legitimate way. “By order of the “COMMITTEE OF SAFETY, “July 24th, 1881."” Such a ‘“‘civilization” should be n‘mll(:d devilization, and “Billy the Kid” was its prophet, its legitimate result, its perfect exemplification, From interviews with many men who knew him, including Mr. Taylor, whom I have already wmentioned, Marion Turner, who led in one of the most notable campaigns against him, and Pat Garrett who killed him, I am able to give you A FEW FACTS A in regard to him and to correct sever- al errors which are being published far and wide. The papers speak of him as Billy Conley, Billy Coyle, Billy Donovan and Billy Bonny, and as many regions clamor for the honor of his birth as for that of Homer. The New York Sun sets him down as a New York beer saloon brawler of tive years rgo. Springfield, Lllinois; Sherman, Texas; Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and several other places are credited with his na- tivity. ‘70 THUGS, HIS REAL NAME was Billy McCarthy, and he was born in New York, When he was a very smull boy the family settled in Silver City, Grant County, New Mexico, and he was raised in that place. After the death of his father hismother married a man named Antrim, who is now living in Georgetown, New Mexico, and a brother of Billy is a miner in that region. When he was about 156 years old he was jailed in Silver Cit for robbing a store. Being very mnsfl for his age, some ladies took pity on him and helped him to escape, which he did by crawling up through the chimney of the jail. His feminine :rn:gn izers then furnished him othes and money and he skipped over into Arizonia. Here, when he * | he coolly stopped, picked up his com- was 16 or 17 years old he KILLED HIS FIRST MAN in the most deliberate, cold-blooded style. Pursuit was hot, and he fled back to New Mexich, and took refuge among the cow-boys of Lincoln coun- ty, just about the time that the ‘‘Lin- county war” broke out, The war, according to Marion I'ur- ner, who was a conspicuous figure in it, origimusd in the determination of #/0ld John Chisum” and his partner, Alex. McSwain, to establish a mo- nopoly in the stock-grazing business and make themselves what they claimed to be, *‘the chttle kings of the Pecos valley.” They drove in 80,- 000 head of cattle. The herds of the smaller ranchers were swept away with the rolling avalanche of heofs and horns. The losers attempted to thirty-five men, principally ranchmen and cow-boys of the anti-Chisum fac- tion, and started on HIS DESPERATE ERRAND, On the]17th of June he came upon the Kid with sixty-three men, and in- stantly began a running fight which lasted three days. Lieut. Col. Dud- ley, of the 9th Cavalry, (Gen. Hatch’s famous colored regiment), learning that re-enforcements were being sent to the Kid, took two companies of his regiment and went to Turner's assis- tance. The Kid and his gang took shelter in McSwain’s house, in the town of Lincoln, the most elegantly furnished dwelling in the Territory;and it is said that during the fight Mrs, McSwain encouraged her wild garrison by playing inspiring airs on her piano and singing rousing battle songs, until the besieging posse, etting the range of the piano from the sound, shot it to picces with their heavy buffalo rifles. On the third day of the skirmish Tur- ner had the bouse fired by throwing bucketfulls of blazing coal oil into it and over it, and about dusk the des- peradoes made a rush to escape to their horses. A desperate hand to hand fight ensued, in which twelve of the Kid’s men and two of Turner's posse were killed, McSwain himself Deing among tho slain, In the break from the burning house, the Kid's partner, Tom O'Fallaher, a young boy from San Antonia, Texas, noticed one of his friends fall near his side. Amid a perfect STORM OF BALLS AND BUCKSHOT, rade, and started to catry him off in his arms; but, finding he was dead, threw down the body, and, pistol in his hand, fought his way out. Tom was killed by Deputy Sheriff Pat. Garrett's posse, shortly before the capture of the Kid, last winter. The Kid escaped fire, bullets fand Turner’s posse at the McSwaine house fight, and immediately reorganized his gang. About this time Axtell was re- moved from the governorship of the territory and’ Lew Wallace was ap- pointed in his place Chisum went up to Santa Fe, and, by some means, won the new governor over to the side of the Kid. George Taylor, Turner’s partner, talking to me last night about the affair, said: ‘‘Wallace was a d—d romantic old fool, and casily led him- self to sympathize with the Kid, often speaking of him as 'that brave boy,’ or that wild young knight errant.” He lost sight of his crimes i the romance of his devilishness.” Under the influence of this foolish sentiment, which was better suited toa * ONE-HORSE NOVELIST than the Chief Executive of a turbu- lent Lerritory, Gov. Wallace issued a general proclamation of pardon to all the parties, including army officers, who had been engaged in the Lincoln County outbreak, commanding them to lay down their arms, go home, and keep the peace. The ‘“‘army-officer” allusion of this remarkable pronuncia- mento was aimed at Licut, Col. Dud- ley, of the 9th Cavalry, and, very naturally, exasperated “that gentle- man by placing him, in gubernatorial grace and estimation, exactly upon a lovel with cow-boys, outlaws and Kids, His novelistic Excellency's bugle had scarcely rung truce when the widow of McSwain resolved to prose cuate THE SLAYERS OF HER HUSBAND and destroyers of her home, She em- | ployed a lawyer named Chapman, of as Vegas, who went down nto Lin- coln County and promptly began to stir up all the old strife, but was soon murdered by a man named Campbell and others of the opposite faction. When Governor Wallace heard of the death of Chapman he arose in all the might and majesty of a little wooden territorial official with a tin ear and went down inte Lincoln County, out- lawed Turner and his and all other officers of the law who had been fighting Chisum and McSwain and the Kid and his gang, had Turner and ten or twelve of hudfouo put in irons, and had Col. Dudley arrested and re- lieved of his command, Twenty-one indictments were found against Turner for murder, arson and cat.le stealing. He and his asso- ciates LAY IN IRONS forty days and mghts and were then brought before the court for trial, the Kid appearing as the principal witness against them. They were all acquitted but Turner has been harassed from that day to this, “*By G—d,” said he to me last night. *‘they have had me indicted in every court since, and it has cost me 86,000 to stand them off, beside all the annoyance and loss J‘ time On the morning of the 27th of Sep tember, 1879, Turner was married, ¢ a hotel in the town of Lincoln, to a young girl named Hattie Phillips, who had & cousin married to Surgeon Ap pel of the Oth Cavalry. The same evening Appel, with two companies of negro troops, surrounded the hotel and SIRZED THR BRIDE and carried her off claiming that she was only sixteen years old and a minor. She was afterwards sent to Monroe, Michigan, and placed in a female sem- inary, where she still is. She has an uncle living there, Frederick C. God- frey, who was formerly Indian_Agent at the Mescalero Agency in Lincoln county, and who took an active part in spiritine her away. Her mind has since boden so influenced against Tur- ner, that she recently applied fora divorce, on the ground that the marriage was illegal on account of her minority. 1t was not so under the laws of the territory, but Turner ad- mitted it in order to free her, and the divorce was granted last month. After the acquittal of Turner and his men at the trial in Lincoln, the Kid, on the advice of his friends, de- cided to leave the country, but SWORE HE WOULD KILL COL, DUDLEY beforo he went. A court martial, or court of investigation as to Dudley's part in the fight of June, 1879, was going on at Fort Stanton, in Lincoln county, Judge Ira E. Leonard, for- merly of Missouri, but now of New Mexico, had been employed by Mrs. MoSwain to prosecute the charges against Col. Dudley of being accessory to the murder of her husband and the burning of her house. Judge Leon- ard. at that time a resident of Las Vegas, was accompanied to Fort Stanton by John McPherson, chief of police of Las Vegas, who had been warned by the gamblers and thugs of that place to leave on pain of death. McPherson had been with Quantrell during the war, and was himself a desperado Returning to Las Vegas some time afterward, the roughs car- ried out their threat, and killed him. As he and Leonard were sitting in their room at Fort Stanton one night, shortly after their arrival, they heard a tap on the window. Upon opening the shutter the Kid stepped into the room and announced that he had come to end the trial' of Dudley by killing him. With much difti- culty they succeeded in dissuad- ing. him from attempting to EXECUTE HIS BLOODY PURPOSE. He then mounted his horse and struck out for the Staked Plains, where he embarked in the business of cattle stealing at wholesale, making his headquarters at Fort Sumner, and finding purchasers for his stolen herds among men whose names are by no means obscure in territorial history and affairs. Having a difficulty with his old em- ployer, Chisum, in regard to wages due hum for various services, he swore vengeance agaiust him and his, and from that time on Chisum’s herds and herders suffered. How many men he kileld, how many cattle he stole, how many deeds of daring deviltry and cruelty he perpetrated will probably never be known until the record books of damnation are opened, and cowboys and congressmen, law makers and law breakers, presidents, pirates, governers and thugs are summoned to judgment. During the early part of the present i:“r Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett, of incoln county, captured the Kid and took him to Mesilla, tried and SENTENCED TO BE HANGRD in the town of Lincoln He was taken to Lincolnironed and under a strong guard. Soon after reaching the town he managed to knock Dep- uty Sherifi' Bell in the head with his handcutls, and before he could recover from the stunning effects of the blow the Kid seized his pistol and shot him dead. Deputy United States Marshal Robert Ohlinger, who had been one of the Turner posse in 1879, hearing the shot, came running, gun m hand, to Bell's assistance. The Kid, armed with Bell's shotgun and pistol, saw Oblinger coming, and coolly hailed him with, ‘‘Hello, Bob!” Ohlinger paused a second, and it cost him his life; the Kid poured a charge of buckshot into his heart, killing him instantly— TWO MURDERS IN HALF A MINUTE, The young monster then stepped out on the portico of the old house in which the dead men had been: guard- ing him, and defied the whole town. He made one man knock his irons off, and covering another with his death- dealing shotgun, ordered him to sad- dle a horse that was standing in the street, walked out, mounted and gal- loped out of town in the presence of the whole population. But such a career must have an end and “Billy the Kid” was rapidly nearing the inevitable close of lus blood-stained career. He had hereto- fore carried death with him, but DEATH WAS NOW CLOSE AFTER HIM, Deputy Bheriff Pat Garrett, with two companions, started on his trail, swear- ing to capture or kill him or die try- ing, Insome way known only to himself Garrett learned that the Kid would probably visit the houses of Poete Maxwell, at Fort Sumuer, in Lincola county, some time during the night of Thursday, July 14. Shortly before midnight Garrett went to Max- well's, and had just seated himself in the dark on the side of Maxwell’s bed when the door opened, and IN WALKED THE KID, Instantly detecting, in spite of the where he was 2 4 oemy left W mourned his death, On men of the territory, | identified with the opp knew him well, said to n ing: “Do feeling sor D tha was killed.” ndid horseman and a dead shot, and at the time of his death was only about 22 years old. g o The hero of the hour in Now Mex. ico now, the king lion of the terri- torial menagerie, is PATSREY GARRETT, the slayer of the Kid.

Some' hitch having occurred in re- gard to the reward Garrett expected to get from the territorial authorities, the people of all the cities and towns in the territory have gone to work to raise a subscription for him, and Las Vegas alone has already made up a purse of nearly §1,200 in gold. ~If other places do as much in proportion, the fund will amount to a good many thousands.
