A Wonderful Find ...

[Eva Elisabeth]

This is an interesting theory and argumentation. Well, I am no expert and thus not in any serious position not to believe or to raise doubts on the "established" version, that JWB was shot by Corbett. But I've never understood why JWB allowed to let him being shot, or hanged in case of surrender. There was no chance of escape, he was in a trap like a hunted animal. Does it match his personality to allow the "enemy" to take "control" over him, and to give away being the director of his "performance"? He didn't seem to me like someone who would ever have allowed anyone to decide about him, his life, his actions, his fate. Is this a wrong impression of JWB? What advantage did he from his point of view have from being shot or arrested, tried, and hanged rather than "directing" his end himself?
