of the bulletin on june lith gave the following statement when I 1 arrived in the field I 1 found the troops engaged in war with indian outlaws and murderers the wards of the general government ern ment who had revolted against authority and were fighting mercilessly elles elies ci ri quarter I 1 then thought that the tiie captives taken in future should be executed upon the spot as the surest and speediest ediest method of settling inc the modoc problem when captured while fighting against the military forces of the U S and as a separate nation or tribe I 1 was disposed to deal with them accordingly since the capture I 1 have ascertained that the authorities of J jackson ackson county countr oregon found indictments against certain members of the band but I 1 have not deemed it proper to turn them over to the civil courts because they were waging war var ii against we the govern the time of the murder upon which the indictments are bated bah bat ed and were we found also for the tile reason that after capture cap eap iare iuro fare they were pris of lof the tile government and not to the civil laws during my command here I 1 have 61 sirve anh al citizens when desiring t protection lor abr person or 01 property or indemnification for loss invariably appeal to the aut authority hority of the U ja but now that the war is over and the mam marauder are captives both the public and local authorities want to take the punishment ment of the of lenders into their own hands the threats of the people ancl and the recent bloody gie gle act an fn a this thia is neighborhood when four old and de fenceless captives en route from fairchilds ranche rancho to camp were murdered by civilians indicate that a trial by civil law would be a useless farce as the people have made up ip their minds that the prisoners are guilty it is suggested that a military commission will be ordered to try the criminals if the idea is carried out the officers composing the court should be of high rank and men who have had no immediate connection with the modoc difficulty such a commission would probably try each case separately and would require about six six months to perform the work worl to say nothing of the immense expense to the government involved in such a proceeding besides everybody civil as well as military knows that the indians are guilty of murder in the first degree and ought to be hanged I 1 thought to avoid unnecessary expense and the farce of a trial by doing the work myself owing to the dilatory manner in which the mo iio docs does were treated by those in charge in the beginning of these difficulties the indians obtained fearful advantage over us and slaughtered so many people that the country was astonished and even shocked and an d now I 1 fear they will get the advantage in the closing scenes through this same fear of disturbing the minds of the tile citizens of the frontier justice has already been tard tardy y in coming r and is approaching from so many dif dlf different directions and in sueh such questionable shapes and garbs that I 1 doubt her success in meeting the requirements of the case the indians do not recognize the jurisdiction of the civil or military courts because incapable of comprehending their workings these bodocs cannot understand what is meant by a court they have been interrogated on that subjects they would regard a court trial upon its technicality and testimony as a kind of jugglery and if convicted and sentenced they could not be made to understand that justice had figured inthe in the business atall at all nil they believe they have committed deeds that merit death in fact the real murderers have daily expected to be hanged they believe the military has the power and right to inflict the punishment of death on the murderers and the arrests which occurred in oregon and california are badly mixed my proposed cours course c would have settled tile the question by a single stroke the gordian knot was to be cut The T he indians are cooped up in tents men women and children childre nj guilty and innocent alike fearing mas massacre all the time they must remain in this condition of

you and your band seem to have preferred the war path you left the reservation you spurned the kindness of the government and dud even ev en resisted re 81 I 1 sted the soldiers in the execution of their duties to force you back to the reservation you hastened a war emulating the bloody deeds of yur your fathers you too again strewed the shores of tule lake with the slain victims of your bloody band all these victims were peaceful citi zens unsuspectingly slaughtered while at their daily avocations you then fled to your stronghold in the lava bed and prepared for war and denied defied the power of the government still the president at washington ordered the soldiers to desist until his commissioners could have a talk with yu you and if possible avoid the shedding of more blood their efforts were fruitless after much delay and many attempts at conciliation en on their part you decayed decoyed the commissioners ners into your hands bands and murdered them you have murdered every soldier who has fallen into your hands armed or unarmed these acts have placed you and bourband yo urband outside of the rules of civilized warfare in other words you have made yourselves outlaws As
