I thought this may have been posted before, but I did a search and did not find it on the board. It’s a little old, the news link is 2004. Homer Overton made a sworn statement in 2003 that Pat Garrett’s widow told him some interesting stuff when he was a boy about the shooting in Fort Sumner. It’s an interesting and different twist to Brushy’s version of the shooting.  www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna3947244 |

FAG #9018310 Apolinaria “Pauline” Gutierrez Garrett, BIRTH - 1861, NM; DEATH - 21 Oct 1936 (aged 74–75) Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, New Mexico, USA Interesting. They spoke to her 4 years after she died. |

If Overton's story is true, this would undoubtedly be something Brushy would have felt ashamed of and so he would have to make up another story about what had happened. Obviously Overton couldn’t have met Apolinaria in 1940 but maybe he just got the year mixed up?
