The dead of Johnstown committed suicide (like the suicide bombers). The Apostles wanted to live. The only reason they were murdered was that they would not stop saying that they personally saw the resurrected Jesus, personally spoke with him, and put their fingers in the holes in his hands and side. All they had to do to avoid being murdered was to admit that it was all a lie and then stop talking about him. But they refused. In law, this is called inherently reliable testimony.
