I am new to this blog but it is very curious to me.Does anyone else find it peculiar that jesus Silva was on the jury at the kids trial and that Billy and Billy B were at his residence when they left the dance that night of July 14th, and Jesus was preparing a meal for them (which is why Billy B went to Pete maxwells house to get some beef), apparently Jesus was also one of the people who signed the coroners inquest he was also allegedlyone of the pall bearers AT BTKs funeral as well. If he was Billys freind why did Billy go there after Jesus participated in His conviction ? i know i am new here, but I have read a lot of the published materials and i cant help but wonder is this is the same JEsus in all of these references.

Jesus Silva seemed to know most of what happened in old Fort Sumner and always affirmed BTK was killed and buried there..a newspaper interview much later in life (1938) with Jesus had him claiming Garrett used a Winchester rifle to hip shoot BTK - his grandson and descendants of another key resident recall being told a shotgun being used(which conveniently made the victim unidentifiable) Jesus also said that strangely -the body did not start bleeding until sometime after the shooting had occurred...then he added that at the time a young cattle inspector was making a nuisance of himself -perhaps this was John Miller who had been a Chisum cowboy but was now a bounty hunterworking
undercover as Billy Barlow . Perhaps with the passing of time--it became easier for Jesus to remember true facts that stuck in his mind rather than the details and significance of a fabricated deception that no longer had any relevance in his memory.

Got it wrong --Jesus was trying to disprove the persistent rumors Billy was still alive -almost 60 years after his official death ..especially the unhelpful rumour a young cattle inspector was in the wrong place at the wrong time at midnight 14 July 1881 Old Fort Sumner..in 1938 or before -these nasty rumours grew in intensity with the appearance of Pawnee Bill scoured New Mexico for Billy s scent...

Jesus Silva claimed he was first to check the body in Maxwell's room and actually turned it onto its back....John Poe only mentioned the body found face upwards -no mention of Jesus being there. Silva in old age claimed Garrett shot BTK with a Winchester - on the porch according to his grandson Chino- Poe said Garrett had left his rifle against the wall inside Maxwell's bedroom. Was Brushy given two head wounds while on the porch from a Winchester in the hands of Mckinley crouched outside the fence -which Brushy claimed to crash through in order to escape? A rifle would explain the accuracy especially by moon light. Human error and bias are always a factor but shouldn't be used to discredit everything alledged.All right or nothing right attitude defies reality.

I like that comment: "Human error and bias are always a factor but shouldn't be used to discredit everything alledged.All right or nothing right attitude defies reality.
Some folks think that in order for Brushy to have been truthful about being BTK, he must be proven to have never said anything incorrect or untruthful. That is a very important point. I do believe some of Brushy's story was untruthful, exaggerated or simply mistaken, but I still believe he was BTK.
