THE INDIAN "WHITE EYE" SAID TO BE THE MURDERER.
Brother John Rider, of Kanab, sends us the following about the poisoning case at that place, of which we made mention a few days ago.
"By request I forward you the coroner's verdict and obituary of deceased. Since the inquest was over, one of indians has confessed that indian "White Eye" placed the strychnine in Brother John Phelp's flour, and was held to appear before the Grand Jury at Beaver, at an examination before Justice Broadbent.
Territory of Utah, Kanab Precinct, Kane County.}
An inquisition holden in Kanab, at the residence of T.G. Smith, on the 2d day of April, A.D. 1883, before Nephi Johnson, Esq., Justice of the Peace for the Johnson Precinct, in the county aforesaid, on the body of John Phelps there lying dead, by the jurors whose names are hereby subscribed.
The said jurors upon their oaths do say that the deceased came to his death from the effects of strychnine, feloniously placed in his food by persons unknown, but supposed to be two indians who entered into his house in a secluded part of the canon in which his home was. No evidence of the fact, however, could be proved.
In testimony whereof the said jurors have hereunto set their hands the day and year aforesaid.
