Some Kid tidbits are hard to track down. For example, did Billy Bonney actually have small wrists that allowed him to slip out of handcuffs?
Daily Whip Out: "Billy's Slippery Bracelets"Here's a better version of Joseph Santley, who portrayed Billy the Kid long before Walter Noble Burns discovered the outlaw.

We Get Questions
"This may sound a bit silly, so my apologies if the answer is already out there and I've somehow overlooked it. But what are the exact sources regarding Billy the Kid's small hands and tiny wrists? I've read this so many times that I've always just assumed it was true, but do you know where these claims originate? Are there any verified examples of Billy slipping out of handcuffs due to the size of his wrists? Are there any contemporary sources that describe his hand or wrist size?"
