William Bird told me, a short time atterward, that he was called on by Potter to go out there with him, and to do this deed that bad been wowmmitted; he did not tell me who was with him but Potter and Pimeelf. Sanford Faller, a mouth or two Mtanctold mo be had been called on to go, but did net Koi eaid Potter had borrowed his gun to go With ird; told we that after we, went out with Potter ‘that Potter went and found Parrish, and that they came down to the coruer together, and that he, B'rd, was tying ix the corner of the fence; as Parrish ard Potter wniged aloug the fence he, Bird, said be shot Potter, «Lbom he supposed to be Parrish; that after he, Bird, had shot, he got up sud wanted to know if it was him that had shot; he raid Parrish had kis gun in bis hand, and laid it down, and joey {Farrish and Bird) clinched together.

He wanted to know why I aid not come to him; I told him I did not like to; that I did not know what it meant in regard to their shooting. The next Worplng atier the murder, I heard Bishop Johnson and Bird ng together, and he blamed Potter and Bird for no going further away with them; the Bishop said he wanted I should be satisfied about the affair, and not tell who was in it; that if I did they would serve me in the same way; Idid notXnow that the Parrishes were to be killed. I sup osed from what Potter told me they were to be brought ey In the second meeting which I attended there were some of them that said there were some of them thas would see the blood run. It was Wilson Bird that called me Durfee. Bishop Johnson, some two or three daya before the murder, told me to take a gun out with me. The Parrishes had no gun, The morning when the hearing of myeelf and Orrin Parrish was before John M. Stewart, I knew that Bird waa the man, but I was afraid to state it.

THE FPARRISH MURDERS, The same night that the Parrishes were killed at about 9 o'clock I'was notified by Carnes to go home and get my gun. Iasked hina what was up. He said there was enough up.

I went and got my gua and came back, and was told to take my post an watch west of Parrish’s house three rods; I was told to stay there and watch if Orrin came back. I Stayed there some 10 or 15 minutes, when I was noti to repair to the school-house; I don’t remember who noti fled me. When I got there, there was a cqmpany formed there with a wagon and team. We were ordered to march south, down the lane, formed as a guard in front of the team; I did not know at that time for what pur Pave. When we got out at the south gate I learned hen what was Ihe When we reached the bodies we were 4 form then into two companies, one to go to the south-east and one to the west. I went to the west side of the street from where the bodies vy They were on the east side and wo wore on the west side. The street is eight rods wide. The Sompaviey were divided before we came to the bodies, ere were two persons beside myself in the company I was with and about three in the other, There were some 10 or 15 altogether that went out. Of these I remember the following: A. F. McDonald, John M. Btewart, Philo Dibble, George McKenzie went as teamster: Davis Clark, Simmons Curtis, John Dalet, Moses Daley PY and John Curtis. Carnes, the Captain of Police, called’ ue Logeines and told us to start out. While I and the two with me were standing as guard, the others went and found the bodies. When the budies were found we were called together, and I saw the bodies of Potter aud William Parrish lying side by side. The body of Beason Parris was lying about 60 yards to the soutb east of the other bodies, from the corner of the fence. The bodies were put iuto the wagou, and taken to the school-house, The bodies were searched, and a note taken of the effects found on the bodies, the pocket books, knives, &c. A goa was pak around the school house that Hien) was called to take charge of the house and to wash the bodies and lay them out. Edward Hall and Thomas Cordingly (since dead) assi-ted me. Old man Parrish was cut all over with kuife wounds. ATTEMPTS TO KILL BARTHOLOMEW. There have been several attempts to put me ont of the way. Last Fall wasa year ago I was called upon to go with [four men up the cafion to look for some valley. When we got to the camp one of the men asked me to go with him to hunt bear. Their pian was for him to lead me round to a Jiase where the others would kill me, and say it was the Indians. As I went out, however, 1 could see their maveuverings and 1 Suspected s0Ine thing 80 when we got on a piece, I left him, ahd going another course returned to Faih. When I Eo ere found the men with whom I started, and the others were all gone, When the other wen cane back they saddled up their horées and went to a more con venient camp. Abraham Durfee, Wilber J. Earl. Nelson £Dagforg and Lehi Curtis were with me. In the night, a r dark they tied nw horse in an Jen ing where the igus of the fire would shine on him. Wher we went to get our horses they said they would take their guns. I said I would take my gun, too, and went out, but took care to keep out of the light of the fire. 1 found my horse tied, but got him loose without getting into the fire-light. They then wanted me to come where Hey were,” and that woudd have brought me into the light, but I refused and tied him elsewhere, The guards were arranged so that Spafford and I were on the rst guard. I watched them all very narrowly ana satis. fied myself from their movewents that they had deter mined to kill me; so Dapng some excuse I went out with ny jon and ran off. After traveling some time I laid down and Slept. The next url traveled through the brush as much as possible. Toward evening, how ever, I was headed by four men on foot, and chased by them until dark. The next worning I found some men getting wood, and came home with thew, When I got back I met Earl gud ihe Bishop, and they told me I was orgy.othal noting of the ort Was thought of. It all passed off well enough until two weeks ago, the second time that Marshal Dotson came to my house; then Andrew Wiles and Sanford Fuller came to me and told me I must go into the mountains. I started from Oliver McBride's. The two McBride boys (Oliver and Harlin), the two Curtis's (Uriah and Lelii), Wm. McBride, and Wm. Johnson, were at the house. Two of them followed me until I went up the wmoun tain about 80 rods; I then stepped to one side, into a little kind of a cailon, and got away 3p mong the rocks tillthey passed hy and lost me, I n came down the mountaiu again and went about sulla mile north and went up Rock canon, This was on Fri oA Rigut; on Bunday night I came into town and went to Ur B Crtis’s; here they notified me again that I must go to Wilber J. Earl and Abraham Durfee. I was notified by Wm. Johnson, the Marshal, by Uriah Cur tis, Harlin McBride, and Wm. Bird. We then proeeeded, Oliver and Harlin McBride and myself, out to where Earl and Durfee were, up Hobble Creek a piece. As soon as we got there Win, Bird and J. Curtis came to us with an xpress that we must go to the city. They would not tell who the counsel was m, but said it was counsel, and we were not to be seen SY uy living being, but were to travel at night and lay by in the day-time and keep to tbe mountains. We started and traveled along the mountains, and sainped the first morning between Battle Creek and the mouth of Provo cafion,qup in a little caion. The next night we crossed over the mountain near Mountainville, and S4inped the next flay at Dry Creek, in Balt Lake Valley. re Wilber J. began to fet uneasy about noon, aud wished to go on. Durfee and I moon’ fry but Earl would go on, and we finally consented; then, instead of obeying what Durfee and I had understood as counsel, to keep out of eight of men, he took a straight course for Cottonwood Fort. When we 19 within about a half mile of the fort Earl took off 8 pistol-belt and buckled it on again so that his pistol would be right in front, and then wanted us to go up in the willows above the fort and wait there unt night. It had been Sowing all the time since we started, and was still Sowing, urfee and I believed that there was 4 plan laid to kill us right there, and we would not go, but determined to go past the fort. When I got op Jostie the fort I stopped, and asked then whether the tended to kill and butcher me, and told them that i believed that was their intention. They both denied it Duitively, and Rar said that I must be crazy again. About a mile past Cottonwood Fort a man passed us until he got out of sight. When he passed us he did ew. YER KD AIF OFRIBUNR!
