Drawing of Booth Body

[AussieMick]

Taking as fact that Herold referred to the other man in the barn as Boyd :

I'm guessing/ hoping, Mike, that you have some friends in the legal or police area? I suggest that you please ask them whether Herold referring to the man in the barn as 'Boyd' constitutes as evidence in identifying that person?

No need to remind your friend that Herold was not a character of good standing or that both men were on the run and likely to hang and that Booth would have desperately wanted to be known as someone else and Herold would be aware of that ... and that anybody associating with a person whose name was Booth in such circumstances would be arrested ...

... simply ask your friend "Would Herold's statement in the Barn be acceptable as evidence identifying the man as Boyd ?"

(Please dont repeat all the previous instances of nonentities identifying the dead body as Booth ... they're irrelevant ... there are plenty of instances of reliable people making formal identification ... this Post of mine relates to Herold's statements in the barn.)
