The murderers, Indian Tom and Indian George, were indicted and had a fair trial. Having no counsel, the court appointed D. B. Brennan and P. P. Prim to defend them. Agent Culver and Louis Denois acted as interpreters to the court and jury. The officers of the court were: O. B. McFadden, judge; S. Sims, prosecuting Attorney; Matthew G. Kennedy, sheriff; and Lycurgus Jackson, clerk. The jury impaneled were: S. D. Vandyke, Edward McCartie, T. Gregard, A. Davis, Robert ???, A. D. Lake, James Hamlin, Samuel Hall, Frederick Alberdine, F. Heber, and R. Henderson. The sentence of the court was that the convicted Indians should be hung on the nineteenth of February. The sentence was, however, on account of the troublesome times, carried out a few days after the trial. These were the only Indians ever punished for crime by the authorities in southern Oregon.
