e stayed over night at the NAN ranch and started back to Silver on the morning of the 22d. He came by the box ranch, stopped over a while to rest and then continued his journey towards Silver City, coming down the Whitewater road, riding one and leading the other animal. After the trial had been postponed at 2 p.m., of the 22d, the Hudsons left Silver, fol- lowing Judge Fielder and Mr. Ward, who were in a buggy, to the southeast corner of the reservation fence, going through Central to where Judge Fielder and Mr. Ward stopped at the mine, the Hudson’s then passing them, Ed. armed with a gun and Steve with a pistol. This road is about two miles north of the Whitewater road. The point at which the Hudsons were last seen by Judge Fields and Mr. Ward is at least three miles beyond where McAffe was killed, thus showing that the Hudsons turned back and followed McAfee till they overtook him two miles south and a little west of Central, where the killing occurred. This, taken in con- nection with the fact that there were two men on the one side and only one the other, will ( 26 ) be judged of in its proper light by all fair minded people.”
