Those Booth Horses Again -

[Wild Bill]

Tell you what. I'll give you the Thomas Jones stuff so we can get to the real crux of the argument here.


Now, you BELIEVE Mike Kauffman used your designated evidence to ERRONEOUSLY confuse the horses. Oh, this is rich. I'm glad that you can correct Kauffman's mistake on this. I'll bet he is, too!

The mare WAS in excellent trim--minus the lame left leg which was her problem. You quote exactly that in your repeat of post 58, above. Herold took her out the next day with Mudd toward Bryantown to loosen up her muscles and tendons--a common horse remedy. I think people do the same, but you are the doctor, I'm nothing more than an ignorant Coke Cola cowboy with 30 years of doubtful horse and mule experience. That mare fell in the road.

IMO (ain't it neat I can use that fancy internet stuff, too?), as I said before, I would take Kauffman's research and beliefs about the assassination more than yours or mine. I advise other to do the same.

You know, in Arizona, when I was a boy, it was the style to send a post card to one's friends back East with a small plastic bag of the finest HS and BS called Corral # 5. Your friends were to rub it behind their ears and put the rest in a hip pocket so they would not be mistaken for dudes when they came West.

Here's what you and I are going to do. You go with your beliefs and I will stay with mine, and let's give everyone else a break from this Corral # 5.

Pace (that's Latin, Doc, or so I have been told. And I always though it was a horse gait).
