SHERIFF BURT.
Two weeks ago last Friday afternoon saw
the defendants together in town. ! have seen
them together a number of times but never saw
Green with them. Some one told me that
Carter was seen going home with sack OfropeS.
He lives one and q half blocks west OF the Utah
W Nevada depot. Smith met me between D and
6 o'clock and said that he heard there was raid
TO be made that night / told him to go down
and watch the place and would wait for him at
the Godbe, Pitts corner 1t was about o'clock
before he returned. he said he saw Carter and
others come in with horse belonging TO Had
dock in the Nineteenth ward. We took hack
and drove down there but instead of going as we
directed, the driver took us 10 the Rio GTande
Western depot, which delayed US for Il half
hour When we got there We went through the
barn but there were no horses there, that they
had been there recently was plainly to be seen.
/ picked up a tied-glasS lying there and after
examining 1t laid it III an empty trunk by the
barn. 1 saw light in the house and
went in. 1 saw Brown there and
asked him where Garter was. He said he was
outside taikingtO mis- wife. l sand did not see
them and noticing that the table had been
spread, l asked HIM who had been there TO
supper. to which he replied that Dudley had
been there I asked him if there had been any
one else there, and on giving descriptions OF
Wilson and Green he acknowledged that he
thought they had been there. He said he did
not know where they were going, but thought
they had started west to Fenstimaker's or
Dudley's ranch. l then left the house and
started on Tuesday morning for TOOele and
Skull valley. The next day / found peculiar
horse track and followed 1t. The sheriff then
gave q description OF pursuit and the different
courses taken in following the trail. and the
final capture as heretofore published in THE
HERALD. The defendants had traded of some
"a the stock and admitted that they had. When
the stealing was first reported to me made up
my mind who had them.
SHERIFF. DE La MERE
saw two of the horses west of Tooele standing
by a barbed wire fence evidently having had
nothing to eat for twenty-fOur hours. took
them home and fed them. / examined the horse
branded 50 and found that the 3 had been
changed to a B by pulling out the hair IN a
straight line at the front of the 3. My evidence
concerning the pursuit anu capture will be the
same as that Of Sheriff Burt as was with him
all the time.
