HOW BABY DOE GOT A FAST REPUTATION WITH JAKE SANDS : WAS IT FAKE NEWS?

BABYDOETABOR : MYSTERY BABY?

This site is selling books, but it's tantalizing to think that many Baby Doe was cheating on her husband when she took up with Jake Sands (Jake probably had the given name Jacob and his surname was Sandelowsky, making me think maybe he was a Jewish fashion merchant.)  According to this site, Harvey the husband had gone back to his mother and wasn't around for the conception or birth of the son who was stillborn.

Excerpt: "He and Baby Doe were frequently seen together at the not-so-conservative Shoo-Fly Saloon during Harvey Doe's absences.  The Shoo-Fly was not a place for a "respectable" lady to be seen.  Gamblers like Doc Holliday and rowdy miners who were looking for more than a drink, frequented the saloon."

Trying this on, I suspect that Baby Doe felt abandoned and far from home and in need of company.
