That's not true, they got that wrong: it was the son of John Ross, Allen Ross, who distracted John Ross on the day of the murders. That is chronicled in an article in the Chronicles of Oklahoma sometimes about 1930's. It was a very good article. According to the article, Allen and John were walking in the back yard, when a knife was thrown over the fence. Neither spoke. The knife, per the article, was used in the slaying of Elias Boudinot, not far from the Ross mansion. I think Oklahoma State University has the Chronicles of Oklahoma online; somebody does, at least.
