SAN Francisco, June q 1873.
me following is additional news from B0ylc's
camp. dated on the evening of the Attn INST
BOYLE's CAMP, June 4, 1873.
had an interview with Captain Jack, through
che megium OF an interpreter At first he was
seticent-in fact, he did not even notice me-.
Finally his sister Mary prevailed on him to talk. His
Arst remark was in relation to his shackles. He
said is made him feel mean to he hobbed like n
horse. He not afraid to die, and had no
iaea Of running away AS he spoke, his eyes
snapped, ana he looked O very lion in rage.
All questions pertaining to his fighting he de-
clined to answer. When ] asked him his age,
he gave me to understand that he was thIrty-six,
and he then voluntarily started upon statement
Of his grievances and those OF his people with
reference to the Ben Wright ARRAY. He said
that the white men murdered his people years
ago, and that what he had done was only in pay
Ment OF old debts. He did not enter into details,
Sut left the interpreter lscar-Faced Charley TO
patch up the story.
JACK CRITICALLY sKETCHED.
A critical study OF Jacks face corroborates the
Impression derived at first sight. He is q thorough
indian; his head is large, quite square, and sits
firmly on his shoulders; his eyes black and
bright, and his face broad with prominent cheek
bones; his nose is symmetrical and slightly aqni-
line; his lips are thin and cean-cut, and. combined

pose that has won him such notOriety; his com
plexiOn is dark, and his face has q pleasant look.
Take HIM all in All, he is striking man. Place
him among thousands ana he would be taken for
chief by any observing stranger. Those who have
seen him do not wonder that he is the leader OF
the ModOcs Though in chains and on the brink
Of eternity he is yet feared ana respected by the
Indians about him.
his nearest companion in chains, Schonchin, s
shout fifty years Of age, is wrmkled and has the
villain depicted in every line OF his face. lie wears
his hair short and stands about five feet in his
InOccasins.
Boston Charley is about twenty five years OLD.
Nls face is eXpress0nless.
Jack would attempt to escape If he had chance,
even at the risk OF being shot down. Probably he
never realized that his death was inevitable until
the irons we're placed on his feet. Scar Faced
Gharley says Jack told him he could get clear when
She white men were asleep. This was before the
irons were brought into use.
JACK TRIES TO 'sHAKEv MS sHAcKLEs.
General Davis is satisfied that Jack did try to
escape last night, and through the aid OF confed
crates on the outside, for upon examination OF his
ehackles this morning IL was found that one OF the
Tivets had been filed nearly in two. His legs only
arc confined.
At four O'Clock this afternoon Colcnel Mason ar
rived here from Farchild's ranch with the IN
lantry force Of the expedition and the seventy Mo-
Aces VINO came in there. Thus we have here 1873
taptives.
