Richard Baynham Garrett on Finis Bates

[Dennis Urban]

Well the waters are really muddied even more by three differing locations, all of which cannot be correct. I suspect Asia would be quite correct in her memory. But Lawrence Gardner should have been as well. Dawson complicates matters by mentioning the wrist. I would think his recollection to not be as credible although his is closest in time frame to seeing the tattoo. I do not think Booth had another tattoo inked as I do not believe such was fashionable at the time. I suppose the speculation will continue.
