Betty O. I read the "True Detective" story you posted and I am sorry to say - That "Kitty Wells" was not French Kate. It seems that Kitty was a Lady. I didn't recognize any of the other names either. When I found that French Kate was not Sarah Slater, I disposed of all my notes. You may find some posts on the "All things Lincoln"site, where we traded opinions some time ago. I do remember Kate's last days with Ben Hogan, when they went to Saratoga Springs on a vacation, financed with Kate's earnings from the previous year (thousands of $$$). Hogan gambled away her money very quickly and Kate tried to kill him. She only succeded in shooting off a piece of one ear. I think the book is "The Meanest Man in the World".
