finally met his death at the hand of a friend.
One day in 1854, in an altercation with Major
Richard H. Weightman, the great rider was
stabbed to the heart and dropped dead in Santa
Fe. We have stood on the spot, now shown as
historic, where Aubrey fell. He was buried in
an unknown grave, and all that is remembered
of Aubrey is his remarkable ride. Weightman
was tried on the charge of murder, but was ac-
quitted, and joining the confederate army, was
shot at Wilson’s creek while leading his brigade
into battle.
