The layout of the Maxwell home was that of two porches on oppisite sides of the house cnnected by a long central corridor..those who actually lived in the house referred to the front porch as overlooking the parade ground and the back porch as fronting the main street..people who didn't live in the house would regard the main street porch as being the front of the house and so Brushy said the shooting was on the back porch.The man shot that night walked through the corridor from the main street and walked along the parade ground porch behind Poe to Pete Maxwell's bedroom -if he came accross the parade ground he would have had to go through two deputies blocking access to the porch protecting Garrett while he was talking to Pete - the deputies would not have known about the corridor and would have been watching the parade ground thinking it the only approach ...

If Maxwell had informed Garrett that BTK was in Fort Sumner after his escape from the Lincoln courthouse then there would have been no need for Poe to visit the town during the day -asking questions and raising suspicion - there would be no need for Garrett to talk privately to Maxwell in his bedroom inwhich they were both trapped when a man carrying a gun got between them and the two deputies outside on the porch steps. It was John Poe who suspected BTK was in Fort Sumner...Pat wanted to talk to Pete alone in order to assure Poe that BTK wasn't here but in Mexico as he said...Pat also wanted Pete to pass on the message for BTK to get out of New Mexico as the Canadian river cattlemen had Poe after him - after the shooting Garrett got Celsa to pass on this message to Brushy Bill aka BTK..and inform him that he had just been killed !
