The album.would be a key find in continuing research into the gang featured in the 1969 movie, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” The movie ended as the most popular theory does, with Cassidy and Sundance dying in a shootout with Bolivian soldiersafter a 1908 bank robbery. The outlaws were back in the news recently when they were linked to bones found in a Bolivian grave. A forensic pathologist is analyzing the remains, though a posi- | tive identification may not be possible. Authenticating the photographs | is equally iffy. Outlaws took great pains to conceal their identities. Few photographs were taken. | Aliases were common. Families protected members on the wrong side of the law. And one of the skeptics is Dan | Buck, a Cassidy authority and part of the team that found the bones. Buck doesn’t believe Terrill’s | young cowboy is Cassidy, though he concedes there is a resemblance. “I just couidn’t see it,” said Buck, an aide to Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo. “It may be it is the Logan family album,” he allowed, adding he is not an expert on the | Logans. Terrill takes the nay-sayers in stride: “The fact two ringers just happen to hang around with the Logan family isn’t for me to figure ; out.” In the past year, he paid for a computer-based image analysis of | the Cassidy photo that determined | it was genuine. A Tacoma plastic surgeon also found a very strong resemblance between Terrill’s cow- boy picture and the two betterknown photos of Cassidy. “How manypeople can’t tell their own grandfather from an old photograph? I don’t blame anyone for being skeptical,” Terrill said. “If theyare serious researchers, this al- bum will speak for itself.” Kenworth is convinced, and said he’s a hard sell. “I want everything short of the guy sitting up in his grave and say- ing, “That’s me,’ ” said Kenworth, who has studied Curry and the Logan family for the past five years.
