  Narrator : Cheyenne, Wyoming - The Crow Bait Saloon, a link to the name of the notorious John Surratt, only exonerated conspirator in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. John Surratt's name was to appear twice in the colorful life of Bat Masterson: First, Bat Masterson undertook to prevent the publishing of a false story that would rock the nation and affect the reputations of innocent people. A trumped-up story sold to the Cheyenne Clarion by a man named John Watson, posing as John Surratt, solely for the purpose of making a fast fortune. John Watson met his death because of it. But the name John Surratt was not dead. It was about to pop up again in the life of Bat Masterson, the man who became a legend in his own time.
