Dame, William Horne (1819–84), 38. [A] Colonel, Iron Military District, Parowan. One of the nine men indicted for the massacre. As the senior militia officer in southern Utah, he originally directed Haight not to attack the emigrants. During the early morning hours of Thursday, September 10, however, he consented to their death. He argued with Haight after the massacre over how the killings would be reported to authorities.
