A STRUGGLE WITH A MURDERER | —_— | Amid the Alkall | of the Crim. 1 Early | A Solemn Court of Justice s Teinl and Executl nal—Thrilling Eplsode History on the Trail. In April, 1852, a company formed at Barry, Pike county, Illinois, to come to | California. Tt consisted of P | and family, Isaac Holman and family, | James Allen and family, Mrs, Hull, a | widow, and two children, Jeffrey Madi- gon, Frank Donaldson, Malon Bill, H. Huntley, Joseph Black, Samuel Ristine, Nelson Gray and Jay Green, the writer of this story in the Woodland (Cal.) Mail. g We made our way through Missouri to the city of St May 11 we crossed the Missouri river at Duncan’s forry, four miles above St. Joseph. Our first night on the plains was amid a ter- rific thunderstorm. Torrents of rain fell upon us, This our initia- tion to the long journey of perils and hardships bef Our lay over a rolling pi asci Green Joseph was wirvie eountry for eighty miles.

We crossed the Rockies at Pass," and shortly came to Pacific spring, the first water flowing westward. We li beds, gravel, to uni Platte, we on slowl South were now ina land of alk bottle sand gnakes, horned toads, lizards, t and everything that goes to dunes, sage brush, rock, antulas, class desert land. I should have said that after crossing the Missouri had been joined by other companies, and had become quite strong in numbers, At Big Sandy creck, at noon, two us, and who were | Shey drove, had a quarrel private affaivs. Their names were Col- onel Bosley and Major Beal. The wa of words between the two being over, we procecded. Two days brought us to what was called “Lost River.” At this place took a vote of the eompany, and determined to camp until noon of the next day. The country was full of hostile Indians, and there was some op- position to our delaying so lon Here Bosley, Bealand the writer went fishing. We caught a fine trout, anc that even- ing the Kentucki invited me to supper with them. We divided the trout between us and enjoyed it. The best of feeling seemed to exist all around, and I then little dreamed of the terrible tragedy to which the three of us should be parties in a few brief hours. Early the next morning 1 was awak- ened by loud and angry talk. I got up and found a heated dispute going on about breaking camp at once. I said, “T thought this thing was scttled yesterday —that we were to stay here until noon.” The talk quieted down. But Bosley was determined to go on. He went out and got his two mules, and with the assist- ance of uaother man bogan to harness the animals. Beal asked, “What are you going to do?” “Tam going on,” was his partner's reply. STam not,” was Beal's quiet answer. Bosley having hitched his mules to the wagon, drove out of camp, taking the two young men with him, Dave Dye and Steve Deems. Besley and Beal were under contract to take these men to Cal- ifornia.- Bosley in this manner left Beal with a pair of mules and harness. Beal applied to me and my partner, Mr. Gray, for conveyance to California. We took him on eondition that he do an equal ghare of camp duty, and that we have the use of his mules, There was a feeling of uneasiness the camp after Bosley had gone after talking the matter over we decided to move on. This was about 10 o'clock a.m. About noon we overtook Bosley, who had stopped to feed his mules, passed him, and soon came to a steep hill. My team was in the Beal was driving it, and 1 was riding a small mule. Whenwe gained the top of the hill I told Beal to wait for the other teams to come up. 1 dismounted from my mule and Beal got down from the wagon. Just at this time Bosley ap- peared at the top of the hill, riding mare and carrying a double-bacre shotgun on the horn of his saddle, rode up quickly, his eyes flashing , and demanded: u going to’ leave me in viver our company where we eamped ans, who joined in the team over their artners 15 in in- Beal replied firmly: ““Yes, siv, T am.” Bosley instantly raised his gun, mut- tering something I could not understand, and fired. Beal reccived the charge in his left breast. 1 sprang forward tosave the man’s life, but not in time. I grasped the muzzle of Bosley's gun and held it down, but the fatal messenger had sped, 1 commanded Bosley to surrender. Still holding the gun by the barrels, T tried to wrest it from him, and in the effort pulled him out of the saddle. Then en- sued a terrible struggle between us for the gun. Bosley retained his hold upon it. He was a large, muscular fellow, and he was in a frenzy. He cocked the lock on the loaded barrel and pushed me backward, all the time endeavoring to bring the gun in range with my bod while I was struggling as desper hold the muzzle on the ground. In this way he ran me back to some brambles, My feet became entangled and 1 fell on my hands und knees, Bosley covering my head and shoulders with his breast and throwing his arms around me. 1 still held to the gun, T ealled for help. I shouted murder! No one came to my rel The rest of the company was not In sight. My legs were crossed. 1 was ru“.m-» I kept on struggling, and at ast got my feet squarely under me, With all my strength [ suddenly raised erect, lifting Bosley off his feot, throw- him over my head and wrenching the gun from his hands, Asroonas I was clear from Bosley | ran to Beal, raised him up and reposed him against a clump of sage brush. He was beyond human aid. His heart was riddled with buckshot. He died without saying a word. Our entire train was soon on the rcene, and shortly there ur- rived another ox train of fifty men. We buried Beai and piled up a mcnument of recks over his grave, Besley was put under guard and wo all traveled on, tt object being to join another large immi- | gration train, “and with this increased number of men to hold a council and determine what should be done with Bosley. On "June 13, 1852, we found a mule teain from Pennsylvania, bound for Orve- gon, and some pack We met at Hams Fork of the Green river. We now had at least 100 men in the crowd. Jt did not take long for the leaders of | Bull's the companies to decide up action, Bosley should be n a plan of l od then and A hollow yokes, In Bosloy was made ox yoke. A man consented to act as formed of ox onter of this square to take a seat upon an by the name of Rush ‘ Bosley's lawyer and | conduet his defense He also sat within the cirele Bosley's side, upon an ox yoke. A jury of six unbissed men was chosen to hear the evidence. The cap- tain of the Oregon company conducted the trial. The following witnesses were called: John Peters, Spencer Knapp, | Charles Ellis, Dave Dyc and Jay Green. The prisoner asked that the witnesses | might sworn., The Oregon captain administered the oath in behalf of the California and Oregon immigrants as plaintiffs and Leoni Bosley defend- ant. I was the last witness. [ testified positively to the killing, but was careful to give the prisoner the benefit of ever word or act that might be in his fa When the testimony was all in Bosle, arose and said, “Green, you have don me justice, but John Peters has not," The jury retived from the rest of the crowd and soon agreed that the prisoner was guilty, but could not fix the punish- ment. The Ovegon captain then made this statement to the crowd. He then drew a long line on the ground, and aid: “Allof you who are in favor of inflicting the death penalty immediately will cross this line | The crowd rushed like a flock of sheep the “‘dead line,” not half dozen refraining from this call for vengeance. The jury again retired, and then came in with the verdict that Bosley should be shot at 6 o'clock the next morning, June 14, IR A special tent was pitched, and Bosley was held through the night under guard. I visited him that evening. He seemed to care little for the sente 1 touched his feeli v asking him if his mother was living. e dropped his head a mo- ment, then said: “Oh, Green, KGUAre was the by ve over \y nothing of my fam- ily. He then made a request of me that ake charge of some letters he would write, and deposit them in the postoftice at Sucramento, to do so. He then asked me to remain with him through the night. 1 told him I could not. I was greatly weighed down by the strain of the whole affair and with fatigue, and [ told him I would have to have some rest. The next morning [ visited him early. I found him dressed in a fine broadceloth suit, white shirt and black i, He was a fine looking man in features and physical build. Tlooked upon him and | thought: *‘Dressed for eternity in this wild and ragged desert land.” He gave me three letters and told me that each contained a leck of hair, one to his mother, one to his wife and one to his brother. These were messengers to bear the sad news that would break the hearts of loved ones in Kentucky. The hour of exeeution came.

One of the party volunteered to load the twelve rifles. He was instructed to retive from ob- servation and load six rifles with powder and ball and six with powder on After lcading the guns the man left them were they were and departed. The prisoner was held under guard about fifty yards distant down the road. Two men were sent to bring the guns, which were placed in the hands of the twelve men, who were then marched into line t& the place where the prisoner awaited death. The rest of the party took up places in file on each side of the road. The captain said to Bosley, “What is your distance?” The doomed man re- plied, “Twelve stops.” The captain then said, “*Step off your ground “1 cannot do it; you do it for me.” The captain answered, “I will do it with you,” These two, judge and conviet, then, side by side, paced off twelve steps from the line of men who held their rifles in parade manner. The Orvegon captain blanket from Bosley's shoulders and spread 1t on the ground. Bosley knelt down upon it with his back to the rifle men. Up to this time he bore himself with heroie fortitude. He asked that he be allowed to give the signal to fire, by raising his right hand, and his re- quest was granted. He turned his head, looked behind him, and asked, “Gentle- men, are you ready Lsaw a marked change coming over his face. 1 cannot deseribe his look, but it was so strange and impressive that I can never forget He dvopped his head and asked a tion that started the tears in every Is there any one present who will y for me?™” In the file of men with rifles, waiting the order to fire, was a German who, the previous evening, had visited Bosley at his tent and sought to talk with the | prisoner concerning his spiritual wel- fare and his peace with God. Bosley had at that time waived all such con- solation, But now at the oven grave he | bowed his head and penitently called: “Is there any one present who will pray for me It was this German who at once laid his gun upon the ground and stepped forward. 1 never heard a | prayer more fervent and eloquent, It was an intensely solemn cceasion and | mong all the ‘hardy, roughmannered | men present there was not one who was not deeply aflected.

Then the captain pronounced these words in a clear tone: lake veady!” and twelve rels were leveled at the kne fice to bovder justice, “Take aim,” and the gunners steadied themselves for the fatal signal, and Bos- ley's right hand went up. “Five! and instantly flashed the vol- | len, reverberating a wild and uncarthly | death knell among the crags that looked down upon that awful scene, In the clear morning aiv the smoke of the guns curled lazily, and hung like a funeral pall ove ing form, Four bullets had pierced his body.
