for their arrest and would not have
molested them. In following the
man who ran away passed the
house, and when ! found that he
had taken to the tall timber | drove
back and there on horse with the
lead rope of the pack horse around
the horn of his saddle sat that man
there, tpointing 10 the prisoner
George Dymond.
The string was pulling back and
did not seem to be starting very
well, so | touched them up a little
with my whip. They started all
right and went about 20 yards. when
they hauled back again. AS l had
not recognized the horseman up to
this time, | asked Stone. who stood
near, Who is that mani He re-
piled that his name was Frank
Smith. Something about the man
on the horse seemed familiar and
said that | thought he was George
Dymond. The words were no sooner
out Of my mouth than the rider
dropped the lead rope of the string
of horses and struck out as fast
as he could make his pony travel
The whole affair looked suspicious
so l asked Stone a few questions and
went on into Goldenda1e
Sheriff Warwick OF klickitat me
me there with telegram from
Sheriff Grant telling me to look Gu
for the Dymonds. Warwick and
then went back to Stones ranch ant
searched the pack that the boys haC
abandoned when they ran away, ant
found lot OF towels, cooking uten
sis and other trinkets that certainly
came from some lady's home.
The boys were not heard Of ii
this vicinity again, but we kept OF
looking for them and finally a few
weeks later While Sheriff McNei
and | We're at Wallula he Learned
that there We're two men giving III,
name of Dymond working on tn,
section at that place, 80 we Wen
over and brought them home to Yak
ina
This was all that Edwards was al
lowed to bring into the case b. ia,
defense, so he stepped aside an,
Sheriff Grant was sworn.
The sheriff was asked a few ques
tions concerning the general repu
tation of the Dymonds in their com
munity, and answered that it wa.
very bad. ATTORNEY Luse tried hare
to break him down, but being unable
to do so, asked: when this mar
Clifford was in court last summer
charged with perjury did YOU not
do all in your power 10 secure a con.
viction, regardless OF whether the
defendant was guilty or note"
This question served 10 arouse
Mr.. Grant and raising up in his
chair he replied in his most dignified
manner: Mr.. Luse. l did all in my
power TO see that justice was done
in that case, the same as I try TO do
in all cases which I am connected
with. My oath requires this of me
and my duty as a citizen is to live
up to that"
William Stone. owner Of the ranch
where the brothers left their
horses and pack, told his story, which
was that on the day named two men
rode up TO where he was hoeing in
his garden and started talking horse
trade. During the conversation the
boys asked TO buy some potatoes and
he (Stone) and George Dymond,
who gave his name as Frank Smith,
went into the cellar to get them.
When they came out Clifford was
riding away as fast as he could
toward the timber. Stone asked
Dymond what was the matter and
George replied that his brother was
riding a crazy horse that took those
streaks every once in awhile and
could not be controlled. Satisfied
with this explanation Stone was as
sisting George in starting his
