ed my boy. | said, On, Lombard,
they have killed my boy" Witness
remembered making dress for a Gus
toner and sent Hayes to deliver the
dress on the evening of the 18th day
of February. Another incident occur
red on the same day. We received two
letters which fixed the date.
HARRY HAYES,
the defendant, was next called and
said: l live in Eureka Was not Out
of Eureka at any time in February,
1855. l went there about Christmas
time. Went away again in March. 1
received a note to go and see a Mr..
PETERSON at Payson. l did not have a
conversation with Dr. Lombard on the
18th OF February. l did not ask him
TO go hunting ducks with me. / had
no conversation with DR.. Lombard in
relation TO hunting ducks Witness
corroborated Mrs. Hayes as to deliver
ING a dress on the evening of the 18th.
Did not tell Lombard on the. 18th
that had just got in. 1 did not see
him that day. 1t is thirty miles
from Eureka to Pelican Point. I never
told anybody that Albert's brother had
been up and coaxed Albert to go to
Arizona l told Mr.. Rollay that AL
bert had a brother and father in
Arizona.
IN answer to question from White
cotton: DO you know how those boys
were kilied?' witness said: L should
Judge from the looks of the bodies
that they had been shot.
Q.-Do you know who shot them?
A.-No. sir; 1 do not. I heard Mrs.
Hays say: oh, Lombard, they have
killed my boy" She did not point to
me and say: He killed my boy" or
Hayes killed my boy" l Thought by
keeping quiet and having a search
warrant we could find the missing ar
tcles and by that we might find the
perpetrators of the murder.
Crosse examined by Thurman:
Did not inquire much about the
whereabouts of the boys. l did ask
some parties in Goshen if they had
seen them. Don't know who it was.
! asked the Petersons if they had seen
the boys. l saw the quilts, and saw
the places where they had been cut It
did not excite my suspicion Did not
see any blood on the quilt"
Witness was subjected 10 a rigid
cross-eXamination and at times became
somewhat excited. He said Mrs. Hayes
told him that she thought something
was wrong; that the boys would not
go off that way without telling them.
All the suspicious circumstances did
not excite his suspicious He did not
think it possible that three young men
like them could have been murdered
without doing some damage by de-
Tending themselves. It did not occur
to him after seeing their shoes, cloth
ing, guns, horses and all their belong
ings on the ranch and the boys miss
ing that anything had happened tic
them q e6 n heo from them
from the time they were missed till
the bodies were found. From the Ras-
n.ussens came the first intimation tic
him that The boys had gone to Ari-
zora. The witness accounted for the
blood stains on the floor by the fact
that the house was used to hang meat
up in. He thought at first that 1T was
the SHADES who killed the boys, be,
cause such action had been threatened
by them through Albert. The witness
accounted for the quilt being cut by
the boys smoking in. bed and turning
the quilt, and then cutting the burr
out because they were afraid of get
ting blowing up from him.
