he would be up from Charleston that night (Saturday) received it about o'clock :n \ the day. Think Spence left last Night Ghe 20'h) for Sonola. Dent know positively that he went. On Sunday morning Spence told me 10 get breakfast about 6 o'clock, which 1 dId-aiter we lad quarrel, during which he struck me and my mother, and during which he threatened to shoot me, when my mother told hun he would have 10 shoot her too. His expression was. that if l said a word about something knew about he would kill me; thal he was gong 10 Sonora and would leave my dead body behind him. Spence didn't tell me so, but know he killed Morgan Earp; think lie did il, because he arrived al the house all of a tremble, and both the others who came with him. Spence's teeth were chatlerlDg when he came In. l asked ii he wanted something to eat, and he said he did not. Myself and m jther heard the shots, and 1t Was a little after when Stil. we'll and the Indian, Charley, came in, and from one half to three. charters of an hour after Spence and the other two men came. think that Spence and other two men, although they hight have ar- rived during the night had left their hur ses outside of town, and after the shoot. ing, had gone and got them. judged they had been doing wrong from the con- dition, white and trembling, in which they arrived. Spence and the two men had been for several days in the habit of leav. ing home in the middle of the dLy and re. turning in ihe middle of the night, but they never returned in the same condition as they dld on that night, and, after hear. ing the next morning, of Earps death, came 10 the conclusion that Spence and the others had done the deed. Have not seen the Indian, Charley, since that night; do not know where he Is. Four days ago, while mother and myself were standing al Spence's house, taking with Spence and the Indian, Morgan Earp passed by, when Spence nudged the Indian and said, That's hlm that's him." The Indian then started down the street SD as to get ahead of him and get good look al him. Freis is German who works for Acusto as teamster Think he was with Spence Saturday night and assisted in killing Earp, also Slilwell and Indian Charley.
