I think the only absolute conclusion one can draw based on the contemporary record is that Kate got drunk and swore out the affidavit accusing Doc of participation in the attempted robbery and murder. In one of her later writings, Kate lays out her suspicions based on Doc's absence the day of the event and actions afterwards but never says Doc told her anything. I think the Behan/Joyce story only appears in FRONTIER MARSHAL.

Great to see both of you back on the forum. I was about to call you, Joyce, to see how you were since I hadn't seen anything from you for a while. How's your new book coming along? And Pete!... I had about given up hope of ever hearing from you again. Great to see back.

        I still have a look here from time to time. Like you I am waiting for the Curly Bill books. I see Joyce is doing one. I’ll get that. Pete

          Have you had a chance to look at the Wyatt Earp Anthology or Bossenecker's RIDE THE DEVIL'S HERD?

            I am not sure. I hope so. I will know something more definite in a day or so and will let you know. Thank you for your interest.
