This boy and his dog were photographed by photographer J. E. Williams in New Athens, Ohio in the late 1890s-early 1900s. This was another one that was cracked but the damage wan’t in critical areas and I was able to clone some image from the photo taken at the same time. From my glass negative collection.

ON HIS WAY TO THE GALLOWS , BILLY THE KID ASKED TO USE THE OUTHOUSE, OVERCAME HIS CAPTOR, AND RODE OUT OF TOWN
Billy the Kid was wanted in 1881 for shooting a sheriff in Nebraska and another man in a New Mexico saloon. Running from a $500 bounty on his head, Billy was eventually trapped and put on trial.
The trial didn't go Billy's way. The judge found Billy guilty, saying the outlaw would "hang until he was dead, dead, dead." Billy responded, "You can go to hell, hell, hell."
His date with the gallows set, Billy the Kid pulled off a daring escape. On April 28, 1881, he asked the deputy guarding his jail cell to take him to the outhouse. Once free from the cell, the outlaw pulled off his handcuffs, took the deputy's firearm, and did away with the deputy. Knowing the sheriff would be after him, Billy hid on the roof of the courthouse. When the sheriff ran up, Billy yelled, "Look up, old boy, and see what you get." Then he fired on the sheriff.
His escape nearly complete, Billy the Kid took a horse and hit the road.
