Whyis this significant? - pees probably was shot to death in Bolivia in ; 2. He wasbetter-known as the Sundance Kid. _ Brownish, damaged andsplit into two pieces, what is apparently the skull of the famed bank robberis being studied at the Baylor College of Dentistry. Dr. Paul Goaz, a professor emeritus of oral radiology at the college, is part of an international effort to learn what really happened to Butch Cassidy and Sundance, the outlaw buddies immortalized in the 1969 movie. “This guy had pretty good oral hygiene,” says Goaz, as he takes the skull out of a cardboard boxin his office. “He took pretty good care of his teeth.” The teeth are white, straight and nearly complete — only three are missing, although two wisdom teeth are impacted. Most have goldfillings and two have gold crowns. _ “You can see he had a lot of money, however he got it,” Goaz says. ' As fans of the Paul Newman-Robert Redford film ‘know, he got it by robbing banks andrailroads in the Old West around the turn of the century. Cassidy, whose real name was Robert Leroy Parker, and Longabaugh fled to South America in the early 1900s, leaving no conclusive proof of their ultimate fate. In the movie, the exploits of Butch and Sundance end in a freeze-frame of glory, just before most of the Bolivian Army blows them to bits. But other versions of varying credibility have one or both of them eluding posses, dying violently in France or Uruguay, and living out quiet lives back in the United States, among other things. well,” Goaz says. “The guy who did #¥ told me he’s convinced.” * f According to an account published in 1930, the outlaws robbed a mining company payroll, were chased across southern Bolivia and badly wounded in a shoo- tout with soldiers in San Vicente. Rather than let Bolivians finish them off, according to the account, Butch shot Sundance before blowing his own brains out. The front of the skull now in Dallas is cavedin, as if its owner had been shot between the eyes — although, mysteriously, there is no exit wound in back. The other skull, which is not here, seems to indicate that its owner had put a gun to his head andfired. But no absolute evidence for identification has surfaced and no frontier dentist left dental records that would make the task easy. Nonetheless, when Sundance’s skull was shipped to the Baylor dental school last month, Goaz found plenty of clues to pursue. Like every good dentist, he took a full set of X-rays, which show that Sundance suffered through someroot canals. “It was pretty good work, by those standards,” Goaz says. He extracted one tooth, which wassent to a Harvard laboratory for an analysis of mitochondrial DNA, which can demonstrate genetic ancestry. “If we could find someone who is descended from him through his mother’s side, we could provea link,” Goaz says. “So far we have found some of Butch’s relatives, but none for Sundance.” Dwight Deuring of the Southern Methodist University geology department is conducting quantitative electron microprobe analysis on tooth and bone fragments, which invoives bombarding maierial with elec- Sunday, March 29, 1992 9E Et BIRTHDAYS Telford The 95th birthday of Marie V.

Why don’t you come up and see what you can do with them?” So far a number of factors have bolstered the re-searchers’ confidence. Goaz says that damageto a leg bone is consistent with medical records showing that Sundance once took a bullet there. A sophisticated sor was never thereat all. “If we could just find a picture of him smiling, that would proveit,” he says. ms :Gallegos He was born March 31, 19064, in Los Pinos, She graduated from Bear River Gallegos.
