Arizona republican., 1903-02-05

The identity and the whereabouts of
the murderers of c. E. Goddard and
his teamster at Canon, or Goddard's
station, remains as much Of a mystery
as ever, nothing of special Importance
developing yesterday except the rela-
ton of an incident that adds to the
theory that one of the muTGerers is
Montez. the Mexican alluded to in the
first account of the killing printed in
The Republican. That incident is re-
lated by ]. A. Porterie, who says the
description given of the man with the
scar On his face accords very nearly
with the description of Montez, who
had a scar on his face that Mr.. Porter
/ ie says resulted from an encounter he
once had with Mr. Goddard. Mr.. Por-
terie also in order to show what kind
of man Mcntez IS. said that he once
had a warrant Tor him for horse steal
ing and arrested him on the Arizona
canal. When the arrest was made
Montez said: III go with you for /
am innocent; if l was guilty | would
not go In opposition to this theory
ii is said that Mr.. Goddard told his
wife before he died that had never
seen the man before.
Milton Turubull and J. M Garrett
started to Phoenix with the bodies Of
the murdered men and were met by the
undertaken at Gibson's station. They
We're brought to town and are now in
/ the parlOrs of AIoEn and Doris. The
/ funeral of Mr.. Cox viii be held this
morning at 10 O'Clock at the Catholic
church. A cousin of Mr. Cox who Is
employed at Doris grocery, informed
/ The Republican yesterday that the
dead mans name was Frank Cox as
/ first reported and not Frank Cooke. He
| accompanied Mrs.Cox on the long Jour
ney after the body of her husband. re-
/ turning yesterday as did Mrs. Cod
/ dard and Frank Goddard the brother
OF c. +. Goddard. MI Turnbull and
/ Mr.. Garrett also came on to town and
are now stopping al the Commercial
| hotel.
/ Mr.. TurnbUll who was in the Cod
! dard house when the tragedy occurred
gives some further details. He says
that the two Mexicans entered without
knocking. As they did so c. Z. Cod
dard arose and faced them and ad-
/ dressing them in Spanish said: Que
/ queira ?''
Ore of them answered "Sena" (sup-
PERI.
Mr. Goddard said Dispense ne" or
excuse me- and then told them To wait
/ till the family had finished supper and
his wife would get them something to
eat. BY this time one of the Mexicans
had advanced to the center of the room
where he held a commanding position
/ over part of the inmates of the house
while the other man could cover the
rest Of them. When Mr. Goddard had
finished the sentence quoted above the
Mexican in front of him advanced a
couple of PAGES and said "Bueno" as
though it were a signal to his compan-
ion for instantly thereafter both began
firing. Mr.. Goddard was shot in the
left side below the heart. The bullet
passed clear through his body and
coming out slightly wounded his right
arm. Mr. Cox was shot twice by the
other Mexican. One bullet went
| through the head near the top from
the right side to the left side and be-
yOnd, spattering blood and brains on
the lamp chimney. The other bullet
entered the body just below the shirt
collar, behind, and lodged just under
the skin near the left nipple. 1t was
found by the undertaken and is now in
possession of Sheriff Roberts of Pres
colt. Mr.. TurnbuH says he is certain
there were at least two more shots
| fired. One was marveloUsly close to
him and he slid out of his chair and
under the table playing dead till the
men had left the room. Another bullet
he thinks was aimed at Mrs. Goddard
