At least take an alias

I had some problems with this Wagon Train story. At least our protagonist should have taken an alias.

Terry Wilson kills a horse thief, beating him to the draw. He notices that the hammer wasn't even cocked back on Edward Binns's pistol. He further learns that Binns is notorious gunman Jud Steele who by all rights could have, should have beaten Bill Hawks to the draw. Wilson further learns he was heading for a town way south of the Wagon Train route.

When he travels down there bringing Binns's personal affects to said town, Wilson also finds a statue of the deceased in the town and that he was killed there five years earlier after a distinguished career in the Confederate army. So say banker Arthur Franz who served with Binns, the town marshal Robert J. Wilke who served with him, and widow Mary LaRoche.

In town he was known as Jud Steele and as outlaw Binns never bothered to change his name. I can't believe some word of his outlaw exploits would not have reached his town no matter how remote it is. Just made no sense.

Still some nice performances by the guest cast.
