Gary simply stated that Topeka Jack was in the 1905 photo - he didn't explain his reasoning. I asked him a year or so back if he had any clear images of Johnson, and the ones on his website were it.

Also, the images of Johnson with the KC,KS Giants aren't clear enough to use as i.d.'s. I even looked up photos of the fight between Jack Johnson and 'Topeka' Jack Johnson at Leavenworth prison, and those were inconclusive as well.

As much as 'Topeka' Jack contributed to 'The Freeman', you'd think there would be a photo of him in one of the issues.
