guage; this was interpreted into Spanish and then into English. When “Bonita” was sworn and told to relate the circumstances of the shooting of Acosta, Carpio spoke to her in Apache and said “don’t tell it; if you tell it they will kill me.” The poor girl burst into tears and pointing upward said, “I must tell it. I have promised God not to tell a lie.” She then related the facts as I have before given them. When she had finished her testimony she fell on her knees and in her own language appealed to Judge Bristol to have mercy on her unfortunate brother.
