After detailing the attack and telling how he was taken blindfolded with Scott to a deserted house he said: “I had partially slipped the bandage Off my eyes when a man came up and said he Would take me to O’Neill, but I must re- main blindfolded. I asked if I could bid Scott goodby and was allowed to do so. Scott told me to go and said he was sure they would kill him, but he hoped they Would do it quickly. I was then taken to a cart in which there were a coat and gun. I was put on the cart, and a man got up and drove 011’. When we started, he had a mask on, as I could see over the cloth that was supposed to be over my eyes. He had been driving about ten minutes when the mask came 011' the driver’s face. ” He was asked if he had seen the men since and replied he had. He was asked who it was and said it. Was Moses Elliott. Elliott was asked to stand up and did'so.
