You do know that invoking THAT name might work just like in the movie Beetlejuice.Let's not risk it!

the alias is Margaret-Anne Moore.

Comment by Kevin Hogge on April 29, 2012 at 5:59am: I understand that Billy the Kid was shot in the back of the head in the # 10 Saloon by Wyatt Earp who was soon arrested by Pat Garrett who tracked him down to the OK Corral and finally cuffed him under a window at the Lincoln County Courthouse. As least, that's what I heard???
