Dick Huber came to New Mexico in 1882, and first went to work for Lew Fifer in Hanover gulch. In 1884 he commenced working for Vic Place, at Pinos Altos, and continued in his em- ploy for two years, after which he commenced work for H. G. Noel, on the Mangas, where he remained for about a year. He then com- menced working for Bell & Stephens, at Pinos Altos, and remained in their employ until about two months before the holdup. Sheriff White- hill and the guard at the jail both state that Gray was confined in the jail. It is strange that while Huber was using Gray’s horse for a month or more that Gray did not then recognize him. Gray’s story looks rather fishy.
