The St. Johns herald., 1891-06-18
Her left eve was

a rough campaign. Her left eye was
 gone and from general appearances she
 had seen her best days. She testified
 that she was at Josh's hut the day he
 killed hIs wife. She told plain story.
 When asked who killed Et-son-he J osh's
 wife, she answered: "That man (point-
 ing at Josh) killed her with pistol.
 When asked why Josh killed hls wife, she replied that he got angry because
 Et-son he would not give him cigarette
 and when Josh began abusing his wife,
 she took refuge behind the witness, when
 Josh fired, the ball passing through the
 witness and into the abdomen of the
 wife, killing her almost instantly. Dur ing the examination the other witnesses
 present attempted to prompt her, and were immediately taken out of the court room by the Sheriff.
 The next witness was Chillee, a tall, powerful and fine looking specimen of the native American. He testified that he was brother of Joshs wife and that he was at their house the day of the killing. Chillee said that Josh quarrel ed with his wife outside and that he was lying down inside the house when Le heard the shot which killed his sister. He got up and went out, and near the house lay his sister dead and this old woman wounded, pointing to Nockz-dis- osh. Chillee and Nockz-dis-osh both testified that Josh had no reason or pro- vocation to kill his wife, and denied that she was -unfaithful.
 After hearing the argument of the District Attorney and the counsel for the defendant, the court held the prisoner to answer in the sum of $10,000.
 Nosey was next arraigned for killing Goody Goah, the chief of his band. The complaint was made known to defendant through interpreters.
 There was but one witness examined, and his testimony was positive and to the point Chusen, the witness, was sworn, and when asked if the oath he i had taken was binding upon him? He replied: "I will tell nothing but the truth and what I saw" The witness was then asked to tell, in his own way, what he knew about the killing of Goody Goah. He said that about two years ago, in the afternoon and just before dark, he arrived in the camp of Goody Goah, which was then situated some two or three miles from Fort Apache. Goody | Goah and his people were there, and Nosey and his people were there. They were drinking tiswin, and some of them were drunk. Goady Goah and Nosey were quarreling, and immediately after the witness arrived in camp, Nosey shot Goody Goah, who fell and exclaimed: "My son, you have killed your chief" Nosey, immediately after the shooting, started to leave camp for the mountains, witness shot at him and tried to kill him, but, said the witness: 'I guess missed him, as I see he is here and alive"
 Ol SHuScH NtS asked if there were not others present when Nosey shot Gyody Goah? He re- piled sharply: '.TheEe were plenty oth- CTS there, but don't know what they saw or heard" There were no other witnesses examined in Nosey's case, and the court held him in the sum of $1O, ,OO0.
 Josh's defence will be that lie killed his wife for committing adultery. He claims that the immutable law of his tribe is, that where a woman is caught in the act of adultery, they either kill them or cut of their nose, and he pre- ferred to kill his wife rather than disfg- ure her. Nosey's defense will be justi fable homicide.
