According to Patterson, Cassidy managed to charm the populace yet again, even in the midst of planning and executing the robbery:. One boy, year-old Vic Button, whose father managed the CS Ranch east of town where the outlaws camped, remembered Butch as a likable man with a broad grin. He said the outlaw gave him candy. Button also said that one day when he told Butch how much he admired his horse, Butch replied that someday he might give it to him.
A few days later, Butch kept his word. Following the robbery, as the three outlaws were changing to fresh horses, Butch told the cowboy who had been attending the animals to give his winded horse to the young boy at the CS Ranch.

Historian Larry Pointer has uncovered two mugshots — one of Cassidy and one of Phillips, from the same period in Wyoming.
It appears the two men probably served time together in the penitentiary, and that Phillips may have ridden for a time with the Wild Bunch. In the early s, two bodies believed to be Cassidy and Sundance were exhumed in Bolivia. Question : What was the point of the dialogue between Butch and Etta when she wonders if they might have been a couple? There are no other moments in the film where she seems to want Butch more than Sundance so why bring it up for no reason at all?
