About the 10th to 25th of July met Leary and Morrison in Prescott rec ognized Leary as Sergeant in Company A, 9th Cavalry. Hetold me to keep still, as he had deserted from Apache, on account of Captain Harper's court-martial. After Leary moved out to camp I met him in the street, and Leary asked me to come out and went, and afterwards went again. He made pack-saddle and I went with him to camp and carried his gun. I had made arrange ments to go to work for Moves at the saw mill, on Tuesday, and was to go out on Fri day evening. Moves was to stop at Gang for me. I had to go away for few minutes, and told Morrison to tell Moves to wait for me, but when I returned, Moves was gone. slept that night at the beer-garden, where I usually slept. On Saturday morningI went to Moves house to get him to take me and my things to the mill, but he was not going that day. Smith came in during the day, and went out with his team smith said he had two horses and no wagon, and if would furnish a wagon We could get several passengers for Trinidad, at $50 apiece. We got into MT. Vessels wagon and rode to town. got ginned up, and at night went to bed at the beer garden, and put my trunk into the wagon. I stayed there. l went over to Leary's camp, from the beer garden, and stayed there half an hour. Mor- risOn came while I was there, and heard others talking in the willows near by, but did not see them. I heard Morrison say something about going to a quartz-mill. returned to the beer garden, and seeing no lights, rolled up my things and started for the saw-mill. When near field, laid down under tree with my blankets under my head, but when it begau to rain I spread some on the ground and covered with the rest After laying some time I got up and went back the road I came to the old mill. About } o'clock I took my things over to Horns beer garden, and laid them on the porch. I then started for the mill, and arrived there at breakfast time. After breakfast I worked until noon, and at o'clock, while we were resting, Behan and Hussey came and arrested me. I did not steal nor help to steal any horses from Mir. Miller, nor any one else, on Sunday evening nor at any other time.
 John Morrison makes statement. He recognized Leary as a deserter trom the 9th Cavalry; knew him in Miles Expedition. James had told me they wanted hand at the quartz-mill, and started out there on Sun day evening and stopped at Leary's camp, where I saw James and another man. When got above the saw-mill it commenced to rain, and went under a tree, where I got very wet and muddy, and it rained harder. then started back, and when got to Ganz', just a. daylight, went to bed where I re- mained until I was arrested. I know noth- ing about the horses.
