We went to the ferry, some of
us went down the river, some
went in a bateau. Didn't find
him, then we went down the riv-
er and headed the rest of the
party off. We went on to
spring and sat down on log and
talked about the matter, then we
went back up the river. We
came to a place that looked like
somebody had been scuffling.
There were three nigger head
rocks on the ground, one had
blood on it. Near this place we
found mule tracks. Some of us
went in the river. We saw
buzzard down the river, so we
went down to see what the buz-
zard was after. We found Nose
Hughes on a little sand-bar tied
in the manner as stated above.
Yes, this body was identified as
being Nose Hughes.
Mr.. Sims asked him if he tes-
tilted at the inquest, he replied;
Il didn't testify"
Mr.. Sease asked him about
buggy that was there. He said,
.Jokn Renwick said it woe Red,e
buggy and some one suggested
that they carry Nose in this bug
gy, but Red didn't want his bug
gy full of blood. John Renwick
told me that the white men were
in their shirt sleeves and that
they, as we'll as Nose, had mud
spattered on them, when he saw
them together"
