CHEW CASE The case of the People vs, John Chew el al grand larceny was taken up. William J Robbins was called Live atScipio. In the spring of iSSs, I became be-came owner ol a black stallion colt bv foal. In May 1883, I bianded the stallion stall-ion "IX." He was turned out on the range with a gray mare and anothar mate. In January of 1890, 1 saw them in Gunnison field, drove a stalln 11 into a corral. My brand had been obhtered or blotched. Recognized the horse independent in-dependent of the brand. It was Oscar Berglunds corral. Didn't see any brands except this blotched brand. Don't know who c'aiined the hotse at that time To Mr Reid Was told by Mr Palmer that my horse was iu Gunnison field.and was claimed by John Chew. After ex aminiiig the hoise, I turned him out. Had a cocversalion with liergluud about the horse. Did not tell Mr Berglund that I could not recognize the horse as mtne, except lhat Mr Palmer had said so. Duii't remember saying that my horse had a star in the forehead. When I was hunting my horse I met a man by the name of Anthony Melcalf. Got information in-formation from him about my gray mare He said nothing about and "IX" colt So .ie one told me he had neard the colt was dead Recognized the stallion by his actions, appearance and the stock, Have been acquainted with the stock for 20 years. About two or three weeks ago I examined the brand i f the horse again at Mr Chew's corral (The witness drew on the blackboard a "J" and a number of crosses as representing the brand.) |
