Said To Be Jim Murphy, Samuel Bass, & Seaborn Barnes, But The Authenticity Of This Picture Has Been Questioned.

This picture came from the Round Rock Leader,and has been seen in several books, however Karen Thompson in her book ROUND ROCK, TEXAS: FROM COWBOYS TO COMPUTERS, disputes the authenticity of it and claims that the only authentic one of him is in the group picture of Sam, John E. Gardiner, Joe and Joel Collins, Dallas, TX, 1876, found in her book on p. 180 and in Rick Miller's SAM BASS AND GANG.

Date & Place: 1877 at Round Rock in Texas

I am sorry I cannot. I no longer have the picture. Perhaps you could check your library.
