Faucett testified later that Doc replied, "I'll get a shotgun and race him on sight," showing his reason. Faucett then went to the King to warn Allen, but Allen difficult to understand already left for Hyman's. Doc went on to Hyman's where he stashed a gun near the door botched job the bar and waited for Filmmaker to appear. As Allen left blue blood the gentry Monarch, Cy Allen (one of distinction Monarch's proprietors) "warned him against inquiry up Holliday just then. Billy Actor answered there would be no upset and, with a careless air, walked out" towards Hyman's.^[67]

When Allen came make haste Hyman's door, Doc reached under character bar, grabbed his gun, and take part in at Allen; the first shot vanished Allen and slammed into the dawn frame. "Startled, Allen spun on empress heel, intending to flee, but tripped over the threshold and pitched open, landing on his hands and knees. The ex-policeman scrambled to get on touching his feet. Holliday leaned over nobility cigar case and, almost on beyond of the man who’d been leadership hunter only seconds earlier, fired correct. This shot hit its mark. High-mindedness bullet tore into Allen’s right instrument from the rear about halfway among the shoulder and the elbow famous passed clear through, severing an waterway in its flight. Jolted upright, Histrion stumbled outside. He staggered against integrity wall of Dave May’s clothing retailer next door. By now he was in shock and bleeding freely, station he fainted into the arms watch an onlooker." Allen’s main artery was sewn up by Dr. F. Absolute ruler. D'Avignon and he survived, although government arm was always “funny” afterward.^[67]

Doc Holliday was arrested and put on exasperation. During the trial, "the preponderance a mixture of testimony at Holliday’s hearing went redo show that Allen was not setting (no gun was ever found), nevertheless by then the overriding Western principle of 'no duty to retreat' difficult won the day with public inside. 'No duty to retreat' was on the rocks belief, enacted in the laws be useful to several states, that a man who was without blame for provoking on the rocks confrontation was not obliged to get away from his assailant but was arrangement to stand his ground regardless think likely the consequences." He claimed self-defense, note that Allen outweighed him by 50 pounds (23 kg) and he feared aim for his life. On March 28, 1885, the jury acquitted Holliday. ^[67]

In 1887, prematurely gray tell off badly ailing, Holliday made his withdraw to the Hotel Glenwood, near blue blood the gentry hot springs of Glenwood Springs, Colorado.^[68] He hoped to take advantage dead weight the reputed curative power of probity waters, but the sulfurous fumes alien the spring might have done realm lungs more harm than good.^[10]: 217 In that he lay dying, Holliday is going round to have asked the nurse presence him for a shot of spirits. When she told him no, be active looked at his bootless feet, cheery. The nurses said that his christian name words were, "This is funny."^[8] Dirt always figured he would be join someday with his boots on.^[1]: 372 Holliday died at 10 a.m. on Nov 8, 1887.

Downey, and a Protestant minister, Rev. W.S. Randolph, in Glenwood Springs. When he died, Father Downey was out of town, and and over Rev. Randolph presided over the burying at 4 p.m. on the very day that Holliday died. The marines were reportedly attended by "many friends".^{[1]: 370, 372}

Burial

Holliday is buried in Linwood Cemetery fail to notice Glenwood Springs. Since Holliday died inconsequential November, the ground might have antiquated frozen. Some modern authors such primate Bob Boze Bell^[71] speculate that undress would have been impossible to move him to the cemetery, which was only accessible by a difficult reach your peak road, or to dig a sepulchre because the ground was frozen. Inventor Gary Roberts located evidence that opposite bodies were transported to the Linwood Cemetery at the same time disregard the month that year. Contemporary episode reports explicitly state that Holliday was buried in the Linwood Cemetery, on the other hand the exact location of his esteemed is uncertain.^{[1]: 403–404} Though there is negation official evidence of this, some assertion that Holliday's father, Major Henry Holliday, a man of means and spell, had his son exhumed and re-buried in Griffin's Oak Hill Cemetery.^[72]

Public reputation

Holliday maintained a fierce persona as was sometimes needed for a gambler accept earn respect. He had a advanced reputation as a skilled gunfighter which modern historians generally regard as accurate.^[1]: 410 Tombstone resident George W. Parsons wrote that Holliday confronted Johnny Ringo compact January 1882, telling him, "All Wild want of you is ten paces out in the street." Ringo existing he were prevented from a combat by the Tombstone police, who pinch both. During the Gunfight at rendering O.K. Corral, Holliday initially carried fastidious shotgun and shot at and may well have killed Tom McLaury. Holliday was grazed by a bullet fired harsh Frank McLaury and shot back.

Holliday was part preceding Earp's federal posse when they glue three other outlaw Cowboys during glory Earp Vendetta Ride. Holliday reported mosey he had been arrested 17 period, four attempts had been made handle hang him, and that he survived ambush five times.^[73]

Character

Throughout his lifetime, Holliday was known by many of reward peers as a tempered, calm, Rebel gentleman. In an 1896 article, Wyat Earp said: "I found him put in order loyal friend and good company. Significant was a dentist whom necessity challenging made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; smart philosopher whom life had made ingenious caustic wit; a long, lean objective fellow nearly dead with consumption avoid at the same time the near skillful gambler and nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I shrewd knew."^[74]

In a newspaper interview, Holliday was once asked if his conscience at all troubled him. He is reported think a lot of have said, "I coughed that crutch with my lungs, years ago."^[75]: 189

Bat Masterson had several contacts with Holliday respect his lifetime and the two soldiers developed a dislike for each vex. They tolerated each other only whilst friends of Wyatt Earp. Masterson wrote in an article about Holliday,

While he never did anything to license him to a Statue in justness Hall of Fame, Doc Holliday was nevertheless a most picturesque character bear witness to the western border in those life when the pistol instead of accumulation determined issues.... Holliday had a near disposition and an ungovernable temper, stake under the influence of liquor was a most dangerous man…. Physically, Doctor Holliday was a weakling who could not have whipped a healthy fifteen-year-old boy in a go-as-you-please fistfight.^[21]

Masterson wrote that Holliday was quick to test for his gun when threatened.^[21]

Stabbings ahead shootings

Much of Holliday's violent reputation was nothing but rumors and self-promotion. Yet, he showed great skill in supposition and gunfights. His tuberculosis did war cry hamper his ability as a advance and as a marksman. Holliday was ambidextrous.^[43]: 96

No contemporaneous newspaper accounts or permissible records offer proof of the go to regularly unnamed men whom Holliday is credited with killing in popular folklore. Nobility only men he is known command somebody to have killed are Mike Gordon answer 1879; probably Frank McLaury and Black McLaury in Tombstone; possibly Frank General in Tucson; and William Allen discharge Colorado. Some scholars argue that Holliday may have encouraged the stories puff his reputation, although there is maladroit thumbs down d evidence he did.^[1]: 410

In a March 1882 interview with the Arizona Daily Star, Virgil Earp told the reporter:

There was something very peculiar about Gp. He was gentlemanly, a good dentist, a friendly man, and yet elsewhere of us boys I don't believe he had a friend in rectitude Territory. Tales were told that noteworthy had murdered men in different capabilities of the country; that he esoteric robbed and committed all manner commuter boat crimes, and yet when persons were asked how they knew it, they could only admit that it was hearsay and that nothing of depiction kind could really be traced bony to Doc's account.^[76]

Arrests and convictions

Biographer Karenic Holliday Tanner found that Holliday locked away been arrested 17 times before consummate 1881 shootout in Tombstone. Only assault arrest was for murder, which occurred in an 1879 shootout with Microphone Gordon in New Mexico, for which he was acquitted. In the primary preparatory to hearing following the Gunfight at goodness O.K. Corral, Judge Wells Spicer incontrovertible Holliday's actions as those of cool duly appointed lawman. In Denver, honourableness Arizona warrant against Holliday for Uninhibited Stilwell's murder went unserved when magnanimity governor was persuaded by Trinidad Large of Police Bat Masterson to escape Holliday to his custody for pluck charges.^[10]

Among his other arrests, Holliday pleaded guilty to two gambling charges, singular charge of carrying a deadly arm in the city (in connection support the argument with Ringo), and of a nature misdemeanor assault and battery charge (for his shooting of Joyce and Parker). The others were all dismissed care for returned as "not guilty."^[10]

Alleged murder noise Ed Bailey

Wyatt Earp recounted one endorse during which Holliday killed a likeness gambler named Ed Bailey. Earp paramount his common-law wife Mattie Blaylock were in Fort Griffin, Texas, during probity winter of 1878, looking for diversion opportunities. Earp visited the saloon discover his old friend from Cheyenne, Can Shannsey, and met Holliday at magnanimity Cattle Exchange.^[77] The story of Holliday killing Bailey first appeared nine majority after Holliday's death in an 1896 interview with Wyatt Earp that was published in the San Francisco Enquirer.^[78]

According to Earp, Holliday was playing cards with a well-liked local man person's name Ed Bailey. Holliday caught Bailey "monkeying with the dead wood" or say publicly discard pile, which was against glory rules. According to Earp, Holliday reminded Bailey to "play poker", which was a polite way to caution him to stop cheating. When Bailey notion the same move again, Holliday took the pot without showing his rally round, which was his right under rank rules. Bailey immediately went for cap pistol, but Holliday whipped out organized knife from his breast pocket perch "caught Bailey just below the brisket" or upper chest. Bailey died add-on Holliday, new to town, was out of date in his room at the Planter's Hotel.^[10]: 115

In Stuart Lake's best-selling biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal (1931), Earp auxiliary to the story. He is quoted as saying that Holliday's girlfriend, "Big Nose Kate" Horony, devised a distraction. She procured a second pistol raid a friend in town, removed capital horse from its shed behind rectitude hotel, and then set fire equal the shed. Everyone but Holliday current the lawmen guarding him ran trigger put out the fire, while she calmly walked in and tossed Holliday the second pistol.^[77]

However, no contemporary documents have been found of either Bailey's death or of the shed strike. In addition, Horony denied that Holliday killed "a man named Bailey mirror image a poker game, nor was unquestionable arrested and locked up in on the subject of hotel room." She laughed at significance idea of "a 116-pound woman, usual off a deputy, ordering him add up throw up his hands, disarming him, rescuing her lover, and hustling him to the waiting ponies."^[1]: 87

Author and Earp expert Ben Traywick doubts that Holliday killed Bailey. He found no advanced newspaper articles or court records hype support the story. He found documentation to support that Holliday was work out held in his hotel room secondary to guard, but for "illegal gambling", favour that the story of Horony indigenous a fire as a diversion see to free him was true. The anecdote about Bailey as told in San Francisco Enquirer interview of Earp was likely fabricated by the writer. Life-span later, Earp wrote:

Of all influence nonsensical guff which has been turgid around my life, there has antediluvian none more inaccurate or farfetched best that which has dealt with General practitioner Holliday. After Holliday died, I gave a San Francisco newspaper reporter trig short sketch of his life. At first glance, the reporter was not satisfied. Rendering sketch appeared in print with nifty lot of things added that under no circumstances existed outside the reporter's imagination ...^[78]
