A. 3. Meacham, chairman of the
Peace Commissioners, is in this city
on his way to Fort klamath where the
Military Commission for the trial of
the captured Modocs will be conven-
ed. Meacham can make no use of his
right hand. the nerves of which were
paralyzed by a all through The wrist.
The foreinger of his left hand is twice
its natural size. There still remains a
slight scar on his forehead, and from
the same cause a lump is on the right
side of his head. Other wounds in his
side and elsewhere have entirely heal
ed. This story Of the t~reacherv which
resulted in the death of Candy and
Thomas is but a reiteration of that al
ready told. Meacham says himself
and other Commissioners had full
information of the fate in store for
them. but as Candy and Thomas
would not accept the warning. be
could not remain behind while they
We're in danger. 1t was Captain Jack
who gave the signal for the slaughter
and shot General Candy, while old
Sconchin attended to him tMeachaml
with pistol and knife. OF the issue OF
the trial he expresses no doubt bnt
that the Modocs who participated in
the assassination will be convicted
and executed. The effect Of a virtual
acquittal or pardon after the convic-
ton would be disastrous. With such
a result before their eyes the turbu-
lence of other tribes could not be re-
strained. The men who massacred
Modoc prisoners should be hanged,
Meacham thinks, on the same gallOWS
with the Indians. The murderers du-
ring the war with the ModocS. killed
and wounded about three soldiers FOR
every warrior in their force, which
at no time numbered more thar %,
and during the first three days fight
this band bravely held out against 800
troops, armed with every appliance
of modern warfare. but kept a passage
open for retreat, which ever the Warm
Spring scouts could not close. He
advises that those not guilty of par
ticipation in the massacre be removed
to their reservation, or to be distrlbu-
ted among other tribes, which would
be punishment sufficient.
Official certificates from the German
Legation make it certain that there is
no foundation for the report publish
