Two boys were killed
while I was with him. There's one picture in
the LIFE story of Herbie
lying in his coffin. He'd been stabbed in the neck
and parts of his head. And Red picked Herbie's head up
and felt the wounds, and said, "We're going
to do the same thing to them." I think that Gordon saw
himself in Red Jackson. Because if Gordon didn't pick
up the camera, he could have
easily been Red Jackson
while I was with him. There's one picture in
