The More Murder Case,
SAN BUENAvENTURA. April Sth
On Saturday afternoon the exam
ination of N. H. Hickerson in the
More case was resumed. He said
"Mr. Sprague said that the dis
guises worn were flour sacks with
holes for the eyes, nose and mouth
pulled over the head and a common
burlap sack, with hole cut in the
centre and side for the head and
arms, and pulled down over the
body. Some time previous to the
murder, and after Messrs. More and
Sprague had had difficulty on GER
tain ditch concerning the running
of it over certain lands, Mr..
Sprague came up near my house
and commenced IL conversation on
general matters, and said to me
that he was going to kill More, and
if the neighbors would not assist
him he would do it himself.
Sprague did solicit me on that oc-
casion to join in that conspiracy.
l refused to join as l was
unacquainted with Mr.. More
and the reasons why the
settlers should have such an AN.
tipathy against him."
The witness here related that
after the murder lie met with
Sprague, Churchill and Swanson
and passed lot of resolutions de-
nouncing the murder, and had them
published as the proceedings of u
settlers Indignation meeting. Wit
ness was the Chairman and Sprague
Secretary. The witness resumed:
"Have had no positive conversation
with either, except Mr.. Sprague.
L have had conversations with
some of the other defendants in u
loose way. Mr.. Churchill, in other
not directly about the
killing of More, has stated to me
that anyone of the party, or any
witness that would bring the party
out, would not live twenty-four
hours; that somebody in sympathy
with the settlers would kill him.
Mr.. Lord and myself are
intimate. He has frequent
ly been At my house; told
me that no one could live in the
Sespe and be u witness against the
killing party. Mr.. Lord never
stated anything positive to me, ex-
cept that Mr.. McCarts sister made
an effort to get Mozart to turn
States evidence, which McCart re-
fused to do or to admit her into his
cell. He stated that if Mozart
turned States evidence or took "
bride or Il sum of money,
he knew well that he
would live but a short
time afterward. He told me that
they had met near Il spring in the
willows between his place and
Morton's near the road, and some of
them came to the rendezvous on
horseback and then made arrange
ments to proceed to More's ranch
house, and that after tue killing
they returned to the rendezvous.
He further told me that in the
event ofan arrest, the parties would
prove an alibi by perjury if
necessary. L was a member of the
Grand Jury in June, 1877, when the
case of Mozart, charged with this
crime, was under examination"
"Question-"Did you say after
that examination that you knew
there was nothing in the charge
against McCart?p OBJECTED to and
l have not rehearsed this state
ment only as partial examination
to be used in this examination.
Last Saturday l made a statement
before Mr.. Blackstock, as u notary
public-I made this statement be-
fore Mr.. Blackstock, to be used in
case of my death, which 1 believed
would occur in u short time.
The witness here Identified his
former statement.
