New Development in Booth Case Coming Soon

[Steve]

The facts that Black went to Leadville to investigate the JWB who lived there and that Bates mentioned Leadville, makes me wonder if Black learned about the Leadville JWB through Bates. Also if Bates knew about the Leadville JWB when he was making the claims about George in 1903. The 1880 Leadville directory is available on Ancestry and I couldn't find St. Helen listed there, though I don't know if he was supposed be there under a different alias. The Leadville JWB doesn't appear in the Leadville directory until 1889, having previously lived in Cheyenne, WY.
