I have placed an image of (c1887-1888) and information about William Levi "Buck" Taylor, one of the Buffalo Bill cowboys who may have been questioned in October 1888, at the following location:
www.geocities.com/austinhistory/taylor.html
Buck Taylor was born and raised near Austin, Texas at Fredricksburg, a German settlement on the Texas frontier, in 1857.
It is possible that if he was questioned it was due to the fact that he was from the vicinity of Austin, Texas, where the first documented American serial killer (Texas Monthly, July 2000) was active in 1884-1885.
Johnny Baker, aka 'The Cowboy Kid', apparently was 13-14 years old in 1888, and was the foster son of Buffalo Bill.
