From Roadside America:
The Texas grave belongs to William "Brushy Bill" Roberts, who waited until 1949 to confess that he was the Kid, when he was almost 90. Brushy Bill's distinctive eye color and multiple scars were reportedly perfect matches for the Kid. He traveled to New Mexico to ask for a pardon from the governor, was rejected, then less than a month later collapsed and died while walking to a post office. Some say that Bill, who was remarkably fit for his age, died of disappointment.
