In the article I state that most current researchers believe John Wilson to be the man. However, John Wilson Vermillion was at home in Mendota raising a family and running a farm when Shoot Your Eye Out Jack was with Soapy Smith in Denver in 1889. For a much longer discussion on John Wilson Vermillion, try going to my website www.tombstonevendetta.com Cheers Peter Brand Dear Jeff

I do know that in 1888 Vermillion joined up with the Soapy Smith bunco gang in Denver, Colorado as a capper (shill). He was involved with Soapy in the shoot-out at the train station in Pocatello, Idaho in August 1889. Not exactly law-abiding.

Billy Breakenridge said the vast majority of reliable men believed the Earps killed no one at Iron Springs especially Curley Bill. A man at the springs named Arnold said that Bill was in Mexico avoiding a larceny warrant and all evidence indicates he was. Ringo had already backed Wyatt down twice both documented and proven and simply committed suicide as he had been threatening to do for months I have seen evidence that Curly Bill died in 1909 in Mexico.
