The guard who then had him in charge told me that one of the culprit's own brothers was one of the detail to shoot him.

I went up to the wagon and called him, "Wright!" He made no reply, and did not even look up.

Then I said, "Wright, why don't you jump out of that wagon and run ?" He was callous to everything.

I was sorry for him.

When the division was all assembled, and the grave dug, and the post set, he was taken out of the wagon, and tied to the post.
