Transcription

Welden knows positively it was Aden was killed by Stewart from his own statement, to him and the other W. afterwards saw the bodies of the other two being carried over a ridge. Aden was killed in broad daylight and the other two in the night, as stated, by Klinginsmith and crowd going to the Meadows. McFarlane went out with this company. This last was on the Wednesday <night> Aden killed on Monday, or perhaps Tuesday

. . .

The affair on Monday was not in the programme, nor the killing done by Stewart., After that it seemed to become necessary to kill all to silence the rest, hence the tan Bark Council and other councils in Parowan and Cedar to decide what to do in the dillemma
