I hitched his horse, and then made him undress himself, all to his shirt and drawers, and ordered him to turn his back to me.

He said, 'If you are determined to kill me, let me have time to pray before I die,' I told him I had no time to hear him pray.

He turned around and dropped on his knees, and I shot him through the back of the head.

I ripped open his belly and took out his entrails, and sunk him in the creek.

I then searched his pockets, and found four hundred dollars and thirty-seven cents, and a number of papers that I did not take time to examine.
