Wood had been living at the Hickey home at intervals for several months. The. following morning, after a restless night, Hickey is alleged to. have taken a rifle and.gone to the kitchen where’ Wood was sleeping. The statement recites that Hickey ordered Wood to get up and! dress, and leave the place. Wood is said to have answered that he would leave shot, the bullet taking efféct in Whod’s stomach. As Wood- reeled Hickey fired again, the bullet hitting Wood in the back. \ Mrs. Hickey said she was asked to assist in removing the body to a creek a few rods from the house, but refused to do so It is alleged that Hickey then drag- ged the body to the creek and threw it in, later taking it from the water to a point where it was found by the searching party. Wood’s saddle was weighted, and also thrown into the creek . ‘Wiood’s body when searching party was posed.
