In Tucson, the party was greeted at the train station by Deputy U.S. Marshal Joseph W. Evans.
Virgil and other witnesses later reported that they saw Stilwell, Ike Clanton, and other Cowboys at the train station. "
Almost the first men we met on the platform there were Stilwell and his friends, armed to the teeth", Virgil later told the San Francisco Examiner. "
They fell back into the crowd as soon as they saw I had an escort, and the boys took me to the hotel to supper."
Watched over by the well-armed Wyatt and his posse, Virgil and Allie had dinner in Tucson at Porter's Hotel.

 Marshal Evans saw Holliday deposit two shotguns at the railroad station office.
