In this episode, I will examine William Henry Roberts' account of July 14, 1881, the shooting at Ft. Sumner. I will also compare Roberts' statements with those made by Pat Garrett and John Poe. Additionally, I will do a detailed analysis of all the events relevant to what purportedly occurred that night at the home of Pete Maxwell.
