Most Earp scholars respect the work Hickey did in his 4 or 5 Tombstone related books and nobody can really know for sure, now, with every one dead. I personally loved the movie, Tombstone, version, where Doc Holliday killed Ringo, one on one, but the Hickey explanation rings with more truth.

Apparently Tombstone burned almost to the ground and many of Johnny's cohorts in crime took off for better prospects elsewhere. I can't really imagine Johnny Ringo being that attached to anyone, not enough to feel depressed and take his life over it. I rather imagine he would have taken off with them to harass another town.<br />Thanks for coming by, Jacquie.Sarah J.

Behan, if you recall, deputized the Cowboys, a ruthless gang of murderers to act as a posse against the federal marshalls in which the Earps were included. Now I thought that was just impossible, but there it is.<br />However Ringo died, I'd say good ridence. Perhaps by declaring it a suicide, the coroner protected the person who actually committed the murder.<br />Thank you so much for coming by and commenting. Sarah J.
