Henry was uneasy. for Clifton was not
like himself. He had spells of BROOD
ing, and he took to making long trips
on his horse into the mountains, and
coming in with the animal run to death.
Henry thought, too, that he was seeing
the Thorwald woman, the mother.
Thorwald had died, and she was living
with the son on their ranch and trying
to sell it. He thought Hines was trying
to nave her make Il Confe sion which
would give him IL hold on Jud Clark.
Henry was not well, and in the
early fall he knew he hadn't long to live.
He wrote out the story and left it in
his desk for me to read after he had
| gone, and as he added to it from time
to time, when i got it it was almost
up to date.
'Judson came back to the Clark ranch
IN September, bringing a.ong an actress
named beverly Carlyslc. and her hus-
band, Howard Lucas. There was con-
siderable talk, because it was known
Jud had been infatuated with the wOm
an. But no one saw much of the party
outside of the ranch. The Carlisle wom-
an seemed to be II lady, but the story
was that both men were drinking Il
good bit, especially Jud.
Henry wrote that Hines had been
In the East for some months at that
time, and that he had MT heard from
him. But he felt that it was only Il
truce, and that he would turn up again,
lhell bent for trouble. He made n will
ana LEFT the money to me, with in
StructtOnS to turn it over 10 Hines. 1t
is still in the bank. and amounts to
about thirty five thousand dollars. 1t
II not mine, and ! vii! not touch it,.
But ] have never located Clifton Hines.
I'm the last entry in his record
call attention 20 my brothers. Stnte-
ment that he did not regard Clifton
Hines as entirely sane on this one mat
ter, and to his conviction that the
hatred Hines then bore him, amount
Ing to delusion of persecution, might
on his death turn against Judson Clark.
lie instructed me to so to Clark, tell
him the story, and put him on his
guard.
CLARK and his party had been at the
ranch only day or two when one night
Hines turned up at Dry River. lie
wanted the fifty thousand, or what wa,
left OF it, and when he failed 70 move
Henry he attacked him. The two men
; on the place heard the noise and ral
in, but Hines got away Henry swor,
them to secrecy, and told them the
i story. He felt he might need help.
I From what the two men ut the
, ranch told Inc when got there, think
Hines stayed somewhere In the noun
. tains for the next day or two, and tha,
! he came down for food the night Henr,
I died.
! "Just what he contributed to IIenry's
, death ] do not know. Henry fell in on,
