<p>The Old West outlaw Billy the Kid will not be receiving a pardon, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson has said.</p>
<p>The prospect of a pardon for the notorious frontier figure who died in 1881 had drawn international attention.</p>
<p>The issue centres on whether Billy the Kid had been promised a pardon from New Mexico&#8217;s territorial governor in return for testimony in killings he had witnessed.</p>
<p>The proposed pardon covers the 1878 killing of a county sheriff. Billy the Kid was shot dead a few months after escaping from the jail where he was awaiting hanging for the sheriff&#8217;s murder.</p>
<p>According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 people, one for each year of his life. The New Mexico Tourism Department puts the total closer to nine.</p>
<p>Mr Richardson, who made his announcement on ABC&#8217;s Good Morning America TV programme, leaves office at midnight on Friday.</p>
