Mohave County miner., 1894-02-17

| man was dead, as his face was covered
with blood and he showed no signs OF
life. Scott came in with Huber and AZ
he passed him (Blaine) he handed him
pistol and said II deputize you, George,
| TO guard this man" Scott took Huber
to one side Of the house and seated him
in a chair and told him that Blaine was
his body guard. Scott then went for the
doctor. Huber soon got up and went
toward the rear Of the saloon. Blaine
told him to come back but Huber went
out the back door and he followed When
he got on the outside he asked Huber
what he was looking for and Huber said
he wanted to get bottle 70 make Ian
tern TO look for some bullion he had
lost in the street In the tussie with
Moore. He got bottle and passed on
through the saloon and out into the
street where several friends assisted in
hunting for the lost bullion. He stood
on the saloon porch and witnessed the
o't"e"' SSDh hhD "Oht ohb hbu
the party Of searchers started down the
street at rapid pace. When they were
in front Of the Mercantile Company's
store he called ont: Huber, where are
you going" Huber made some reply
and quickened his pace He then ran
after them and overlook Huber near the
White Hills House. When he got to
Huber he put his hand on his shoulder
and told him he was under arrest and he
mnst see Scott before going to bed.
Huber said what are You following me
around f)r and Blaine told him he was
his guard. Huber threw up hi- left arm
and struck him tBlaine) in the breast
and then he pulled his gun and it ex.
pIoded. Huber placed his left hand on
his breast and dropped his right hand,
AZ though he Was going to put 1t in his
pocket ior weapon and that thinking
the first shot had not taken effect he
fred again, Huber then being eight or
ten feet away. Huber fell and he told
some one TO go AMI get Scott. When
Scott came he said What 10 thus :"
what's the matter" and be replied
"He tried to run away and / shot him."
Scott then said: "G've me your gun,
George, and consider yourself under ar
rest. and stay with me-"
The statement made by Blaine that
Huber and others, who were searching
for the bullion, blew out their light and
st arted down the street, is contradicted
by every witness who was placed on the
stand and who proiessed to know any
thing about the affair.
Dr. Bessac stated that he remained in
the saloon in the neighborhood Of ten
minutes and that Moore was revived in
less than two minutes after he got there
and that IL was some time after he got /
home before he heard the shots. This |
does not tally with Blaine's story. /
Blaine also claimed that he did not !
know Moore had been revived but |
oiOe
This is very unreasonable. He was in |
the saloon fully ten minutes after Moore |
had been brought TO his senses and
again it does not seem reasonable that |
he would have allowed his prisoner TO
walk around where he pleased If he
thought him a murderer. The fact is
that som" murdeoous thought entered |
the mau'- mind and he followed Huber
up and killed him, probably on the i'm
pulse Of the moment. What his reason
for killing Huber was will probably never
be known.
Judge Logan rendered his judgment
in the case Wednesday, holding the de-
fendant for murder We understand an
effort will he made TO have the defend
ant released OIL bail, but we do not think
il will be successful.
Three days we're consumed in the ex-
animation and the courthouse was
crowded daily by people who desired to
hear the testimony.
