Nance. he was composed, and answered
ed the question directly and without
emotion. Succeeding questions were
answered in q manner that gave no in
dication of nervousness by the man
whose story of the killing meant pos
sibly the hangman s rope for himself.
He said he was "a years old and had
resided in Idaho county internationally
for thirty-five years.
MchIeeken related of having pur-
chased, last spring, from White, the
latter's mining claim on Wind river,
and Of difficulties which arose over dis
tribution of personal property in the
cabin. While the mining deed called
for deliverance to McMeeken of the
claim, cabin and contents, White, who,
some days before and up to the time of
the killing had stayed in the cabin,
with McMeeken, bunking with him,
claimed certain of the personal proper
tv. which McMeeken let him have, IN
order to avoid trouble.
The shooting, said McMeeken, was
the result of a discussion over the own
ership of earthen crooks, which were
in the cabin. White claimed the crooks
and McMeeken told him he could have
two of them. There were four in the
lot. White took two, and afterward
took a third, which he removed to a
store room in which White s personal
property had been placed.
On the morning of the shooting,
said McMeeken, White made claim to
, fourth crock.
