Just because Smith had traveled to Kansas to visit his friend Hickock, and just because Hickock possessed a gun of the caliber used to commit the crime, and just because the suspects had arranged a false alibi to account for their whereabouts the night of November 14, they were not necessarily mass murderers.
Smith Kansasera bere laguna bisitatzera etortze hutsagatik, Hickockek hilketa burutzeko erabili zen kalibre berdineko arma edukitze hutsagatik, eta susmagarriek azaroaren 14ko nondik norakoen kontu-ematerako koartada faltsua prestatze hutsagatik ez ziren nahitaez sarraski haren egileak.
