People lie at every age—especially elderly (if there is something to gain from it). That's human nature. Maybe she was truthful...maybe not. Hard to say.

I don't think there were any interviews of note with Joe after 1881 except he did meet with Garrett and after quite some time they emerged shaking hands and Joe made some statement about Garrett clarifying the situation. Supposedly Joe had approached the meeting with Garrett in a much less congenial frame of mind than when he left. Did Garrett confide something? We'll never know.

In 1928 Denver Post reporter Edwin H. Hoover interviewed Joe. It is said that Hoover found Joe colorless and when another reporter told him Joe was Billy The Kid's brother, Hoover replied So What. Joe died Nov. 25, 1930 and his body given to the Colorado Medical School.
As for the knife, Paulita Maxwell Jaramillo noted that on the night Billy the Kid was killed, "The Kid had at the time a butcher knife in his hand." I think there are three affidavits, 1926 Deluvina Maxwell, 1951 Celsa Gutierrez's son Candido and one by Ursula Baca.
I have seen the knife.
