IS IT THE KID, OR ISN’T IT? A NEW PHOTO HAS SURFACED, SUPPOSEDLY SHOWING BILLY THE KID, IN 1878, PLAYING CROQUET OF ALL THINGS IN LINCOLN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. UNM HISTORY PROFESSOR PAUL HUTTON TELLS 770 KKOB THERE’S NOTHING TO INDICATE THIS REALLY IS THE FAMOUS OUTLAW. HE CALLS IT A ROMANTIC, FASCINATING PHOTO … BUT QUESTIONS WHERE THE PROOF.
HUTTON SAYS HE WAS INTERVIEWED FOR A NAT GEO CHANNEL SPECIAL AIRING SUNDAY. BUT HE’S NOT SURE HIS SEGMENT WILL ACTUALLY AIR, SINCE HE DOESN’T GO ALONG WITH THE SHOW’S PREMISE THAT THE PICTURE IS AUTHENTIC.
