Your presumption was correct. I've seen one credible account that specifically mentioned the photo was staged at the request of the Evansville newspaper, but I can't locate the specific documentation in which it appears.As mentioned, I presumed our front cover photograph from the 'Evansville Press', on Monday, 22 August, which purports to show Sutton demonstrating how the 'flying saucer' had flown/landed was simply staged - Sutton never having actually seen any object - at the photographer's request.
What if it wasn't though and taken next day, when they were in Evansville, apparently to collect furniture, is in fact Sutton doing exactly that?
It was taken on Monday, 22 August, when Lucky, J. C. and Baker traveled to Evansville.
I've seen no evidence indicating the Evansville Press dispatched any reporter(s) or photographer(s) to the Kelly scene on the night of the incident or the 22nd. This is why my working assumption is that Lucky and companions proactively contacted the newspaper while they were in town on the 22nd.
