land encountered a heavy smell o
sourdortgh. Almost immediately h
■ describ'd Phillips lving on tin
I floor end spoke to him but ptvWrv
| did not respond. He looked a lit
tie closer and found that Phillhr
was dead.
' Then he went on to his or
cabin and found Mrs. Phiiiin*
Fred Moroc. ‘‘What happened tr
PhilMns”. he asked, hut She rw1
began to shake. Modoc’s face wa
, badlv scratched but Riley had seen
no marks on Phillips.
Anyway they all had supper mad
the next morning, according t
Riley, he went out on the trap line
again. Sam Berg seems to have
been somewhere around but is not
mentioned particularly.
That day Riley thought of a trip
to Kanatak but as he was passing
the Phillips cabin he noticed the
body of Phillips lying out on the
ground near the cabin with noth
ing but hir pants on. Modoc came
out and Riley wanted to know
what they were going to do with
the body and Modoc said it should
be buried but he needed help.
‘‘Sure I’ll help you,” said Riley.
So they took him out and to
continue what Riley said, "I dug
down maybe two feet, and Moaoc
said that ain’t deep enough, so I
dug down four feet,” said Riley,
and there his story ends.
In rnite of the fact that Riley
had seen no marks on the body of
Phillips when he first found him
or when they buried him, it de
veloped that there were bullet
holes thru the neck and head
when the body was again brough
to light by Maron and his helpers.
