Michael Hahn - The Pueblo Chieftain - December 21 2001 - 2 men killed in head-on collision near Las Animas - LAS ANIMAS - Two men died and their passengers were injured, one critically, in a head-on collision east of Las Animas on Wednesday night. Killed in the crash were Steven Campos, 30, of Las Animas, and Michael Hahn, 53, of Springfield. Campos' wife Jennifer, 22, and Hahn's wife Linda, 54, both suffered serious injuries and were taken to St. Anthony Hospital in Denver after being treated at a La Junta hospital. Linda Hahn was in the intensive care unit Thursday with multiple traumas, and was listed in critical condition, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Jennifer Campos was listed in fair condition with multiple injuries. The Colorado State Patrol reported receiving a call about 8:30 p.m. from a citizen who said Campos was driving slowly and weaving. Trooper Douglas Bremer spotted Campos' Ford Taurus about 20 minutes after that call, on U.S. 50 near Rocky Ford. He attempted to stop the car, but the driver took off at high speeds and a pursuit began. Bremer stopped the chase near the La Junta city limits, but Campos continued driving at a high speed through La Junta and on toward Las Animas, veering into traffic and running other drivers off the road, according to the report. About 7 1/2 miles east of Las Animas, Campos swerved into the westbound lane and collided head-on with a Plymouth van driven by Michael Hahn, the patrol said. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers estimated Campos' speed at 100 mph; while Hahn was estimated to be going about 40 mph when the crash occurred about 9:30 p.m. Patrol spokesman Richard Breece said the initial sighting of the vehicle is being investigated as a domestic violence incident in progress in the Campos car. The patrol has not determined whether alcohol was involved in the crash.

Orville Halsey was shot and killed July 12, 1990 by Thomas D. Ferrero, along the fence line between the two ranches near Pryor. Ferrero was sentenced following a jury trial in Walsenburg to a life term in the Limon Corrections facility for the murder. Now, Houston trial lawyer, Jim Tatum, who owns a ranch near the Halsey's, has filed a wrongful death action against Ferreros. Besides Ferrero, the suit names his wife, Carmela; their son, Michael and his wife, Virginia. It claims all were involved in the incident and asks the maximum $50,000 allowable under state law. Also, the Ferreros have filed a countersuit against Mrs. Halsey, her daughters, Shirley and Lynette and the owner of the ranch where Halsey worked, Robert Ingram. The suit claims the killing was self-defense and a wrongful death suit is unjustified. Attorney for the Ferrero family is David Graham of Taos. Orville Halsey - Huerfano World - October 4, 1990 - Murder Trial -Up to two weeks have been set aside by District Judge Claude Appel for the murder trial of Rancher Thomas Ferrero, charged with the shooting death of his neighbor, Orville Halsey July 12. The trial is set to open on Dec. 3 with prospective jurors to be called Sept. 27 to answer questionnaires. Jurors will be sequestered during the trial according to a ruling by Judge Appel on Tuesday. Appel denied a request for separate trials on charges for Ferrero and gave the defense five days to file written motions asking for the personnel files of fired Huerfano County Deputy Sheriff Ernie Pino, who videotaped the aftermath of the incident. The defense has five days after that filing to protest in writing. Ferrero is also charged with menacing in the incident. He is being represented by Public Defender Victor Reyes of Pueblo. El Paso County District Attorney John Suthers is prosecuting the case for the state.

Mrs. Isabelle Arnold Hamilton - Huerfano World - March 29, 1990 - This Week in Walsenburg History - 1909: Mrs. Isabelle Arnold Hamilton, born in Walsenburg in 1875, died. She was the daughter of Mrs. M. R. Arnold and was said to be the first American child born here. Her sisters Emma O. Dartey and Mrs. Adolph Unfug and brother Walter of Rouse survive. [Editor's Note: Isabelle Arnold Hamilton died March 20, 1909. Obituary listed Walsenburg World, March 25, 1909, Page 1.] Mrs. Isabelle Arnold Hamilton - Huerfano World - March 29, 1990 - This Week in Walsenburg History - 1909: Mrs. Isabelle Arnold Hamilton, born in Walsenburg in 1875, died. She was the daughter of Mrs. M. R. Arnold and was said to be the first American child born here. Her sisters Emma O. Dartey and Mrs. Adolph Unfug and brother Walter of Rouse survive. [Editor's Note: Isabelle Arnold Hamilton died March 20, 1909. Huerfano World 3-25-1909 - First American Child Born In Walsenburg Dies - Died, at Pueblo, Colo., on Saturday March 20, 1909, Mrs. Isabelle Arnold Hamilton, aged 33 years, 10 months and 11 days. Mrs. Hamilton was born and reared in Walsenburg, being, so far as known, the first American child born in the town. She was born on May 9, 1875, and lived here until the time of her marriage, in January 1899, to Mr. Alburtus Hamilton, a railroad man, who took his bride to Pueblo, where they have since resided. Bell Arnold, as she was familiarly known, was one of the most popular of the young set of the town a decade ago. She was vivacious and open hearted, the life of nearly all social events. Besides the husband, two children survive her, Elsie and Brittain. The body was brought to Walsenburg Sunday for burial and funeral services were held from the home of Mr. Adolph Unfug on Monday afternoon. In attendance at the funeral were Mrs. Hamilton's mother, Mrs. M.R. Arnold of Pueblo and the sisters, Mrs. Emma C. Dartey of Pueblo, and Mrs. Adolph Unfug of this place, and the brother, Walter Arnold of Rouse. To her, the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubled dream she has awakened to see life's endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the vast throng of loved ones, missed from earth, safe about her. Her home instincts were strong here in this fevered world of disappointment. Her affection for friends and kindred was tender and abiding. Gone out of our sight! But because life and love are stronger than death she is still ours. She is still the mother of her dear children upon whom she doted with such clinging fondness, and the companion still of him who mourns earth's greatest loss, and may she not by this transition wield over them a stronger force for goodness and truth before.

Hanson, Thomas Martin
Thomas M. Hanson – Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph – December 30, 1973 – Third Lawman Slain – Three lawmen were killed in Colorado last week, two killing suspects are dead, and law officials are looking for two suspects in the first incident. The dead law officials are: 1. Colorado State Patrolman Thomas Carpenter, 31, murdered in his patrol car Thursday morning in Denver. Carpenter, father of three children, had served on the patrol since 1968. He was the fifth patrolman to be slain in the line of duty. 2. Otero County Deputy Sheriff Larry Smith, 23, was gunned down Friday by a 12-gauge shotgun blast as he went to a home in La Junta to answer a disturbance call. He was a 1963 graduate of La Junta High School, and unmarried. He was the son of La Junta fire chief, Wayne Smith. 3. Pueblo Police Officer Thomas M. Hanson, 36, was killed when he stopped at a store to buy a carton of milk and came upon a holdup in progress. Investigators said that Patrolman Carpenter was shot with his own service revolver. He was shot four times in the back of the head. Denver police found his body seated upright in his patrol car, which was parked in the rear of an apartment complex in the Monbello area of northeast Denver. Denver police questioned Robert L. Chance, 18, of Aurora Friday regarding the slaying but later released him after he took a lie detector test. Chance had been arrested on a fugitive warrant for a traffic violation. Police chief Art Dill said the youth was questioned in Carpenter's death because his appearance resembled the rough description of one of two suspects in the case. District Attorney Dale Tooley said homicide detectives were pressing their investigation of the homicide, but had "no suspect against whom they expected to file charges." Officials believe Carpenter was kidnapped by his assailants prior to his death. Although there were no witnesses to the shooting, motorists reported seeing a cruiser in the vicinity with two young men accompanying the officer in the car. Keith said Carpenter is thought to have been stopped on the Denver-Boulder Turnpike at Broadway about 9 a.m. Carpenter, who had been with the patrol five years and was stationed in the Broomfield district, normally patrolled Interstate 25 north of Denver. State Patrol officers will act as pallbearers for the 1 p.m. Monday funeral at the Bethel Temple, with the Denver Police Department providing the color guard. Representatives of numerous other Colorado law enforcement agencies also are expected to be in attendance. Deputy Smith died in the backyard of the Otero home in an exchange of gunfire with James Nunnaley, 21, who La Junta police officials said had earlier in the day threatened to "kill a couple of cops." The deputy was able to return the fire before he died and hit Nunnaley, said police. Nunnaley never regained consciousness after the shooting and died in a Pueblo hospital. Funeral services for Smith are scheduled Monday in La Junta. Hanson, the Pueblo policeman unexpectedly walked into the middle of a holdup and was shot to death. The gunman also was killed when the patrolman's partner fired three shots through a plate glass window. Police Chief Bud Willoughby said Bernard Meehan, 19, of Pueblo, died 3 ½ hours after the incident at Parkview Hospital. Meehan, who never regained consciousness, was hit three times in the back. Willoughby said Hanson and his partner, Patrolman James Askay, 29, had driven up to a 7-11 store at 2 a.m. so that Hanson could buy a carton of milk. Askay remained outside in the car. Hanson walked in, found no one around and apparently was about to walk outside again when a gunman emerged from behind a counter and ordered him to lie on the floor. Authorities said Hanson may have made a move for his service revolver as the gunman approached him. The bandit then fired once, morally wounding the officer. Askay fired three times through a glass window at the gunman with each shot hitting its mark. Police said a second man apparently involved in the holdup drove away when he saw the officers. He drove to a nearby Catholic Church where he asked a priest for help, but fled on foot when the priest called police. The killings brought these comments Saturday from law officials in Colorado Springs: Dist. Atty. Bob Russel said, " State patrolmen are very susceptible as they usually stop people for traffic violations and are unaware of potential problems they may be confronting. Most police throughout the nation are in great danger when they are handling disturbance calls dealing with domestic relations which is what happened in La Junta." This of course also applies to the sheriff's office. Russel said that "in Colorado we have been lucky judging from national figures of officers who have been murdered." He added that he did not believe there was going to be a rash of police killings. Police Lt. Loren Downing said that the three shootings of law enforcement officers in the 48-hour period in the state was enough to make each officer take a second look at his actions for safety reasons. A bus load of Colorado Springs policemen is expected to attend the funerals of the officers in La Junta and Pueblo. At least a car load of off duty officers is expected to attend the funeral of the state patrol officer in Longmont, Downing said. Sergeant H. J. Schafer, El Paso County Sheriff Patrol Commander, said that his deputies have been briefed and alerted to begin taking extreme caution at all calls with major emphasis placed on caution taking when answering family disturbances. He said that the most crucial times of police killings are in the first seven seconds after an officer arrives at the scene, and in a 7 to 22 foot range. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph – January 20, 1974 – 3 Indicted for Slaying of Policeman – Pueblo, Colo. – The Pueblo County statutory grand jury has returned indictments against three youths in connection with the slaying of Pueblo police officer Thomas Hanson Dec. 29. Named in the first-degree murder indictments were Charles D. Salazar, 17; Patrick R. Martinez, 18, and James E. Wallace, 15, all of Pueblo. Bond for the trio was set at $50,000. All three are being held at the county jail. The murder charges arose from an incident at a convenience market in which Hanson was shot and killed by Bernard Meehan, and Hanson's partner, James Askey, in turn shot Meehan dead. The three youths are charged in accordance with a statute providing the filing of murder charges against persons involved in a felony during or after which the death of a non-participant is caused. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - January 22, 1974 - Case Dismissed Against Killer of Pueblo Cop - Bernard Harold Meehan, who shot and killed a police officer in Pueblo and who in turn was shot and killed, had a charge of armed robbery against him plus a second count of conspiracy dismissed in district court Monday. Meehan, 19, of the Lytle Star Route, killed Cpl. Thomas M. Hanson, 29, Dec. 29 during a shootout at a Pueblo 7-Eleven Store. The officer had gone into the store for a carton of milk and observed a holdup in progress. In the exchange of fire which followed, both men were killed. Meehan was out on bond at the time and had been charged in Pueblo with a burglary. Here in Colorado Springs, he had been charged with robbing Kwik Way Store, 425 N. Murray Blvd., while armed with a gun, Oct. 11. On Monday co-defendant Robert Wayne Legg, 22, of Ft. Carson, pleaded guilty when the two counts were amended to simple robbery.

Hardin, Antoinette
Antoinette "Toni" Hardin - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 28, 1976 - Escapee Kills Five; Takes His Own Life - A 23-year-old Colorado State Penitentiary inmate shot himself to death Friday afternoon after a rampage of murder and rape that resulted in the mass slaying of a five-member family in their three-bedroom ranch house a mile south of Penrose. Richard Joseph Turner, who killed all five members of the John E. Hardin family Thursday night, was found shot to death in a stolen pickup truck, Friday afternoon about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest, near Ft. Morgan, roughly 200 miles from the scene of Thursday's murders. Turner died of a gunshot wound from a .22-caliber pistol as sheriff's officers closed in on him after a manhunt that started about 10:30 a.m. Friday, shortly after the bodies of the Hardin family were discovered in their blood-spattered home. Turner, serving an indeterminate-to-five-year sentence for a 1975 Morgan County conviction of "gross sexual imposition," was a trusty at the Fremont County Jail. He was placed there last November for protective custody. Turner was on a work detail at the Hardin ranch at the time of the slayings. Gov. Richard Lamm has ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to Turner being granted trusty status by Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti. The victims were identified as John E. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard who worked in the prison's minimum security section; his wife, Antoinette, or "Toni," 37; and their three children: Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James 2. Authorities said Mrs. Hardin and her two daughters were sexually molested, or raped. Officers said that while fleeing to Ft. Morgan, near his home, Turner took an elderly farm woman and two young girls hostage and raped one of the girls, who was 14 years old. The bodies of Hardin and his wife were found about 9:30 a.m. Friday when a telephone repairman, responding to a phone-off-the-hook service call, opened the garage door. When Fremont County Sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the infant's body in a front bedroom, and the bodies of the teenaged girls in separate bedrooms. Fremont County Coroner Henry Grabow said that late Friday it was known definitely that only one of the victims, one of the daughters, suffered a gunshot wound. He said the scene was so bloody and the wounds were so extensive, that it will take some time to determine if more bullet wounds were involved. He noted that one of the girls had a badly bruised arm, and though he ruled out possible use of a knife, Grabow said the assailant may have also used a weapon other than a gun - perhaps a "blunt" instrument, he said. Grabow said there was no evidence of a struggle. The Hardin children were found in night clothes and the parents were dressed in day clothes, he said. The females were found partially undressed. Grabow said that from his preliminary investigation, "I would guess that everybody was killed before they were (sexually) molested. At least it appears that way." Authorities have not determined the exact time of death, however there is reason to believe that some of the murders occurred about 10:30 p.m. Apparently Hardin and his wife left Turner with their children to go out for a while. The children were apparently killed in the meantime and when the parents returned, the parents were killed while parking their vehicle in the garage. Neighbors were quoted as saying that their dogs barked because of some disturbance about 10:30 p.m. No neighbors heard shots, however. Karl Hodgson, the Mountain Bell employe who first came upon the murder scene, said he first grew suspicious when he found a fun laying on the front yard of the ranch house. Authorities said the gun was a .357 magnum service revolver believed owned by Hardin. But when deputies entered the house, they found that a gun case had been broken into and many other handguns and a number of rifles had been taken. It is believed Turner made his getaway from Fremont County using a 1972 yellow four-wheel-drive pickup truck stolen from Hardin's house. Officers said it is believed to be the truck Turner shot himself in. Thursday's manhunt narrowed when a ranch wife in Morgan County reported to sheriff's officers that a red-haired man driving a four-wheel drive pickup tried to drive across her property. The truck was spotted again north of Sterling, northeast of Ft. Morgan, where the elderly woman and two girls were taken hostage. Turner raped the 14-year-old in a barn, then left alone, officers said. A short while later, Morgan County Deputy Sheriff Leo Barker came upon the vehicle which had overheated and stalled about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest. A farmer, Burlie Segelke, had stopped minutes earlier and tried to get the vehicle started by pushing it. Barker said he ordered Segelke to approach him, then heard a shot inside the cab of the pickup truck. He found Turner dead of a head wound. Barker said he found the pistol, five rifles and a shotgun in the cab. Most of the weapons were cocked and ready to fire, he said. Apparently the weapons were those taken from the Hardin residence. A search airplane with Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents aboard landed in a nearby field just after Turner died. Turner was sentenced in Morgan County to a five-year-to-indefinite sentence at the state prison after pleading guilty to a charge of "gross sexual imposition." That plea was made to a reduced charge stemming from charges of rape and menacing in September 1974 after two teenaged girls from Grand Rapids, Mich., told officers he picked them up in his car near Brush and attacked them on a rural road south of Ft. Morgan. Records also show that in September 1975, while on furlough from the state prison, Turner was charged with assault and battery on a state patrolman at Ft. Morgan after the patrolman stopped his car for a traffic check. Turner was moved from the maximum security unit at the state prison to the Fremont County Jail last Nov. 20 after he witnessed the slaying of another inmate. Turner was released as a trustee to work bailing hay on Hardin's ranch house property. However, it is not known why jail officials did not discover Turner's absence Thursday night. Fremont County Undersheriff Don Cook said the county jail only had one other penitentiary inmate in its custody besides Turner, and that "it's been the practice in the past for these inmates to return to the jail after they have finished working for the day." He said, "I don't know what the arrangement the Sheriff (John Vernetti) made in Turner's case." Vernetti was not at the scene of the murders when reporters were present, and efforts to reach him Friday were unsuccessful. Cook said Vernetti spent much of the day trying to find Hardin's parents, who live in a remote area between Canon City and Westcliffe. The parents were found late in the afternoon. According to Jerry Agee, chief of the state corrections department, Turner was placed on trusty basis Thursday by the sheriff's office and was released to work on Hardin's ranch. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 1, 1976 - Friends Still Asking 'Why?' As Hardin Family is Buried - When Death strikes down the innocent and young, for every fragile form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity, and love, to walk the world, and bless it. - Charles Dickens. Rye - Perhaps the anger was still evident deep inside the mourners of the John E. Hardin family. If is was, it was shrouded by sadness for the five slain members. Still the faces of the large gathering expressed disbelief, shock and the tragic realization that their former neighbors and friends were being put to rest. The caskets of Mr. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard, his wife, Antoinette (Toni), 35 and their three children, Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James, 3, were lined up before the approximately 500 in attendance. The funeral services were held Tuesday at the Rye High School gymnasium, the town where Mr. Hardin grew up. Officiating were the Rev. Paul Leaming and Father Ronald Roche. Following the services, interment services were held at the Rye Cemetery. Survivors include Mr. Hardin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin; two daughters by a previous marriage, Janda Sue and Bobbi Jean; two brothers, Frank and Jack Hardin and a sister, Susan Kiner. Mrs. Hardin is survived by her father, Esetuiel Baca; her mother Mrs. Celco Savala; two sons from a previous marriage, Larry and Troy Sanchez; four sisters, Mrs. Stella Castro, Gloria Alarid, Theresa Arudder, and Louise Whitcomb; four brothers, Richardo, Joseph, and Robert Baca and Tim Savala. The tragic events which led to Tuesday's funeral began to unfold last Friday when the family was found murdered in its Penrose home near Canon City. Richard Joseph Turner, who was working on furlough for the Hardins, as a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate, was the object of a state-wide search. He was found shot to death by his own hand, in a stolen pickup truck Friday afternoon near Fort Morgan as sheriff's officers closed in. The mourners paid their final respects to the Hardin family in the tiny town located southwest of Pueblo. Their faces still expressed the question, "Why?" Whatever the reason, or reasons, the killings prompted Gov. Richard Lamm to call a special session of the Colorado Legislature to work out a new plan to increase security at the state's penal institutions. But for the slain family, relatives and friends, it seemed of little consequence Monday. Following the services, the caskets were rolled out to the waiting hearses. As the mourners watched and comforted the family's survivors the bearers, the Fremont County Sheriff's Posse, first carried out the casket of Carol. Lori and her mother were next, then Jimmy and his father, whose casket was draped with the American flag. The tragedy had stunned the state and the funeral drew a few newspeople who, while realizing the touchy and sad situation, were not entirely welcome. A television cameraman, he related later, was approached by a member of the Hardin family and asked, "Why can't you (the news media) leave things be." A newspaper photographer was approached by another woman who asked him, "Do you care so much for your job that you have to do this?" The photographer explained that it wasn't his decision and the woman told him, "Tell your editor to go to hell." The tiny cemetery was soon crowded for the final service which concluded with the honor guard presenting the flag to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin - the final possession of their son's, but not the final memory. The large gathering soon departed leaving the Hardins, a family in life, still together as a family in death. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 2, 1976 - Undersheriff Wanted to Resign Prior to Hardin Murders, Sheriff Declares - Canon City - Fremont County Undersheriff Raymond D. "Don" Cooke resigned his post Tuesday stating among his reasons that, "It is my personal opinion that you (Sheriff John Vernetti) are solely to blame for this tragedy because you were aware of Richard Turner's attitude prior to the events of Aug. 27." At a press conference in Canon City Wednesday, Vernetti said Cooke had asked to resign on Aug. 24, four days before the family was killed. "Cooke mentioned that he wanted to resign prior to the Hardin incident. I was in the process of honoring his request," Vernetti said. Hardin, 37, his wife, Antoinette, 35, daughters, Lori, 15, Carol, 13, and son James, 3, were killed Friday by Colorado State Penitentiary inmate Richard J. Turner, who was working at the Hardin ranch on furlough from the Fremont County Sheriff's Department. Turner later killed himself near Fort Morgan as law enforcement officers closed in. In the letter, Cooke blamed Vernetti exclusively for the murders because he said the sheriff had known of Turner's "attitude" prior to the murder. Vernetti responded that he did not know what Cooke had intended by the word - "attitude." "I don't know what Mr. Cooke meant by that statement. While Mr. Turner was here, and before he met with the July parole board, I asked them to run a mental evaluation on him because I thought he had a problem with his temper," Vernetti said. The sheriff said he requested that a test be administered, and that he believed Turner was in the process of psychological evaluation by the West Central Mental Health Clinic in Canon City at the time he killed the Hardin family. Further questions regarding Turner's mental state would have to be referred to the clinic, Vernetti said, adding, "I'm not a psychologist." Vernetti said when Turner was transferred to the county jail for protective custody because he had witnessed a murder, he had asked the penitentiary for his status, and prison officials said Turner was on trusty status. He also quoted a prison investigator, John Snow, as saying, in effect, that co-operation with Turner would help in the case in which Turner was a witness. Snow, earlier in the week, told a reporter that Vernetti had asked for Turner as a trusty because he liked him. Vernetti said the terms of the agreement with the prison were that Turner could not be placed on any work details outside a fenced area without the supervision of a law enforcement officer. Turner was working for Hardin, who was a reserve prison guard as well as a rancher, at the time of the slayings. Vernetti said, however, that officers from his department should have checked on Turner the evening before the slayings when Turner failed to return from the Hardin ranch where he was on work release. He said Turner was due back at the county jail after supper, but a search was not launched for him until after the bodies of the Hardin family were found Friday morning. Asked if he was aware of any time that Turner had violated terms of his work release, authorized Feb. 19, Vernetti said he hadn't. But asked if he knew of an instance in which Turner failed to return to the jail on time while working on a construction project Feb. 27, Vernetti produced a report which showed that Turner was brought back to the jail late that night by deputies who searched for him. The report said Turner admitted to drinking four beers that night. Turner's trusty status prohibited his drinking of alcoholic beverages. Cooke also condemned Vernetti for his association with inmate James Chryslar. Chryslar, on trusty status at the Fremont County Jail, was sentenced in district court Wednesday for burglary, Vernetti said. Cooke's letter said: "Chryslar has taken part in a crime of violence and I feel he is not to be trusted. I personally was involved in an arrest on this man where he stated he would not be taken alive by officers. This man now has the run of the building." Vernetti said he could refute Cooke's charges regarding Chryslar "100 percent." He said the inmate had never participated in a crime of violence in Fremont County. "There is no record. If Mr. Cooke has a record of that he should return it to us because it belongs to the sheriff's department. Chryslar is on a trusty status here. He works only in the jail. He is not on work release or anything else," Vernetti said. Asked if he thought the murders indicated a need for a radical overhaul of policies at the penitentiary, Vernetti said, "I've never been in favor of radical changes. The governor is probably right in what he thinks needs to be done. And the citizens of Fremont County are partly right." The citizens of Canon City and the surrounding area, meanwhile, held a second public meeting Wednesday night with guards at the penitentiary for discussion of a petition drive demanding a grand jury investigation of "the governor's official conduct" with regard to administration of the prison. In addition to that request, the petition requests that the grand jury investigate and make recommendations concerning the following matters: The necessity of appointing a single warden for the prison with single final authority in the administration of the penitentiary; An investigation of the circumstances surrounding the recent release under the work release program of Turner; An investigation and recommendations regarding the conditions inside the penitentiary and the hazardous working conditions of personnel employed there. Ray Shoop, chairman of the petition drive, said guards who attended the meeting were supportive of the action. "The guards see the petition as a tool to get some things done that they've been wanting to get done." Shoop said that the subject of Vernetti's conduct with regard to Turner had not been raised. "This committee is not out head hunting. We just want to get some problems righted. The sheriff's office will be included in the investigation of the circumstances around the murders," he said. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - November 9, 1976 - Survivors of Massacred Family Ask $40 Million in Damages From State - Pueblo - Colorado Atty. Gen. J.D. MacFarlane has been asked to settle claims of $40 million in damages by survivors of the five members of the John Hardin family of Penrose, slain by a prison inmate in late August. Attorney Maurice R. Franks of Westcliffe and Pueblo made the settlement request in a letter required by Colorado law in such cases. The law requires persons seeking damage payments from the state to file a notice of intent within 90 days after the damage was done. Slain on Aug. 26 at their Penrose home were John Hardin, a Colorado State Penitentiary guard; his wife Antoinette; and three children, James Aubrey, 3, Carol, 12, and Laura, 15. The woman and two girls were raped and shot and the boy was beaten to death. The family was slain by Richard Turner, 23, a prison inmate on work release assigned to Hardin who police said killed himself as officers closed in. Turner was on a work release program from Fremont County Jail after being transferred from the medium security unit of the prison as a material witness to an inmate murder. A parole board rating filed last Jan. 8 by Board chairman Gordon Heggle said, "Richard Turner comes through in the interview as the classic rapist. There is no reason in the world to believe that he would not commit the third rape of his life and be arrested and convicted for the third time if he were released," the report said. Turner was sentenced to the prison from Morgan County after his conviction of two counts of gross sexual imposition. Franks said that he represents Inez A. Savala of Rye, the mother of Mrs. Hardin and grandmother of the three dead children; Ronnie Sanchez of Pueblo, father of the slain girls and guardian of two sons who are brothers of the two girls and half-brothers of the boy who was killed; and the two Sanchez boys, Larry and Troy. Franks has been trying to get information from the Colorado Bureau of investigation and from the attorney general to identify "who is responsible for Turner's being free to commit the rapes and the murders." However, Howard Gillespie, agent-in-charge of the CBI in Denver, said the CBI investigation was only of the crime scene and would in no way identify the persons whom the family is seeking. Further, he said, the reports are investigative and not open to the public. The lawyer said the alleged negligence of government officials gives rise to claims under Colorado negligence laws. But, he said, he also believes claims can be filed under the guarantees of equal protection under the law and of due process by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The family is seeking $20 million in actual damages, and $20 million in punitive and exemplary damages. Franks said if the claims are not paid, lawsuits will be filed. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 23, 1977 - State Sued for $360 Million - Denver - Relatives and heirs of a five-member Penrose family, murdered last year by an escaped convict, have filed a $360 million damage suit against the state of Colorado and top corrections officials. The filing of the suit Monday in district court came almost one year after John E. Hardin, his wife and three children were found murdered last Aug. 26 in their blood-spattered home. Mrs. Hardin and one of her daughters had been raped. Named as defendants in the suit were the state of Colorado, Gerald Agee, former director of the Colorado Division of Correctional Services; Dr. Raymond Leidig, director of the Colorado Department of Institutions; members of the state penitentiary staff; the Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti, and several members of his staff. Richard Turner, the murderer, a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate who was being held in protective custody in Fremont County Jail, had been released to work in the home of Hardin, a prison guard. Turner fled the area to northeastern Colorado, where he shot and killed himself as law officers closed in near Brush. A grand jury investigating the tragedy last December issued strong reprimands to prison officials who had been involved in Turner's case. The damage suit, filed by Pueblo attorney Maurice Franks, also claims that Gov. Richard Lamm, and officials of the state penal system and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation were involved in a conspiracy in the incident.

Hardin, Carol Ann
Carol Hardin - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 28, 1976 - Escapee Kills Five; Takes His Own Life - A 23-year-old Colorado State Penitentiary inmate shot himself to death Friday afternoon after a rampage of murder and rape that resulted in the mass slaying of a five-member family in their three-bedroom ranch house a mile south of Penrose. Richard Joseph Turner, who killed all five members of the John E. Hardin family Thursday night, was found shot to death in a stolen pickup truck, Friday afternoon about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest, near Ft. Morgan, roughly 200 miles from the scene of Thursday's murders. Turner died of a gunshot wound from a .22-caliber pistol as sheriff's officers closed in on him after a manhunt that started about 10:30 a.m. Friday, shortly after the bodies of the Hardin family were discovered in their blood-spattered home. Turner, serving an indeterminate-to-five-year sentence for a 1975 Morgan County conviction of "gross sexual imposition," was a trusty at the Fremont County Jail. He was placed there last November for protective custody. Turner was on a work detail at the Hardin ranch at the time of the slayings. Gov. Richard Lamm has ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to Turner being granted trusty status by Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti. The victims were identified as John E. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard who worked in the prison's minimum security section; his wife, Antoinette, or "Toni," 37; and their three children: Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James 2. Authorities said Mrs. Hardin and her two daughters were sexually molested, or raped. Officers said that while fleeing to Ft. Morgan, near his home, Turner took an elderly farm woman and two young girls hostage and raped one of the girls, who was 14 years old. The bodies of Hardin and his wife were found about 9:30 a.m. Friday when a telephone repairman, responding to a phone-off-the-hook service call, opened the garage door. When Fremont County Sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the infant's body in a front bedroom, and the bodies of the teenaged girls in separate bedrooms. Fremont County Coroner Henry Grabow said that late Friday it was known definitely that only one of the victims, one of the daughters, suffered a gunshot wound. He said the scene was so bloody and the wounds were so extensive, that it will take some time to determine if more bullet wounds were involved. He noted that one of the girls had a badly bruised arm, and though he ruled out possible use of a knife, Grabow said the assailant may have also used a weapon other than a gun - perhaps a "blunt" instrument, he said. Grabow said there was no evidence of a struggle. The Hardin children were found in night clothes and the parents were dressed in day clothes, he said. The females were found partially undressed. Grabow said that from his preliminary investigation, "I would guess that everybody was killed before they were (sexually) molested. At least it appears that way." Authorities have not determined the exact time of death, however there is reason to believe that some of the murders occurred about 10:30 p.m. Apparently Hardin and his wife left Turner with their children to go out for a while. The children were apparently killed in the meantime and when the parents returned, the parents were killed while parking their vehicle in the garage. Neighbors were quoted as saying that their dogs barked because of some disturbance about 10:30 p.m. No neighbors heard shots, however. Karl Hodgson, the Mountain Bell employe who first came upon the murder scene, said he first grew suspicious when he found a fun laying on the front yard of the ranch house. Authorities said the gun was a .357 magnum service revolver believed owned by Hardin. But when deputies entered the house, they found that a gun case had been broken into and many other handguns and a number of rifles had been taken. It is believed Turner made his getaway from Fremont County using a 1972 yellow four-wheel-drive pickup truck stolen from Hardin's house. Officers said it is believed to be the truck Turner shot himself in. Thursday's manhunt narrowed when a ranch wife in Morgan County reported to sheriff's officers that a red-haired man driving a four-wheel drive pickup tried to drive across her property. The truck was spotted again north of Sterling, northeast of Ft. Morgan, where the elderly woman and two girls were taken hostage. Turner raped the 14-year-old in a barn, then left alone, officers said. A short while later, Morgan County Deputy Sheriff Leo Barker came upon the vehicle which had overheated and stalled about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest. A farmer, Burlie Segelke, had stopped minutes earlier and tried to get the vehicle started by pushing it. Barker said he ordered Segelke to approach him, then heard a shot inside the cab of the pickup truck. He found Turner dead of a head wound. Barker said he found the pistol, five rifles and a shotgun in the cab. Most of the weapons were cocked and ready to fire, he said. Apparently the weapons were those taken from the Hardin residence. A search airplane with Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents aboard landed in a nearby field just after Turner died. Turner was sentenced in Morgan County to a five-year-to-indefinite sentence at the state prison after pleading guilty to a charge of "gross sexual imposition." That plea was made to a reduced charge stemming from charges of rape and menacing in September 1974 after two teenaged girls from Grand Rapids, Mich., told officers he picked them up in his car near Brush and attacked them on a rural road south of Ft. Morgan. Records also show that in September 1975, while on furlough from the state prison, Turner was charged with assault and battery on a state patrolman at Ft. Morgan after the patrolman stopped his car for a traffic check. Turner was moved from the maximum security unit at the state prison to the Fremont County Jail last Nov. 20 after he witnessed the slaying of another inmate. Turner was released as a trustee to work bailing hay on Hardin's ranch house property. However, it is not known why jail officials did not discover Turner's absence Thursday night. Fremont County Undersheriff Don Cook said the county jail only had one other penitentiary inmate in its custody besides Turner, and that "it's been the practice in the past for these inmates to return to the jail after they have finished working for the day." He said, "I don't know what the arrangement the Sheriff (John Vernetti) made in Turner's case." Vernetti was not at the scene of the murders when reporters were present, and efforts to reach him Friday were unsuccessful. Cook said Vernetti spent much of the day trying to find Hardin's parents, who live in a remote area between Canon City and Westcliffe. The parents were found late in the afternoon. According to Jerry Agee, chief of the state corrections department, Turner was placed on trusty basis Thursday by the sheriff's office and was released to work on Hardin's ranch. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 1, 1976 - Friends Still Asking 'Why?' As Hardin Family is Buried - When Death strikes down the innocent and young, for every fragile form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity, and love, to walk the world, and bless it. - Charles Dickens. Rye - Perhaps the anger was still evident deep inside the mourners of the John E. Hardin family. If is was, it was shrouded by sadness for the five slain members. Still the faces of the large gathering expressed disbelief, shock and the tragic realization that their former neighbors and friends were being put to rest. The caskets of Mr. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard, his wife, Antoinette (Toni), 35 and their three children, Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James, 3, were lined up before the approximately 500 in attendance. The funeral services were held Tuesday at the Rye High School gymnasium, the town where Mr. Hardin grew up. Officiating were the Rev. Paul Leaming and Father Ronald Roche. Following the services, interment services were held at the Rye Cemetery. Survivors include Mr. Hardin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin; two daughters by a previous marriage, Janda Sue and Bobbi Jean; two brothers, Frank and Jack Hardin and a sister, Susan Kiner. Mrs. Hardin is survived by her father, Esetuiel Baca; her mother Mrs. Celco Savala; two sons from a previous marriage, Larry and Troy Sanchez; four sisters, Mrs. Stella Castro, Gloria Alarid, Theresa Arudder, and Louise Whitcomb; four brothers, Richardo, Joseph, and Robert Baca and Tim Savala.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - November 9, 1976 - Survivors of Massacred Family Ask $40 Million in Damages From State - Pueblo - Colorado Atty. Gen. J.D. MacFarlane has been asked to settle claims of $40 million in damages by survivors of the five members of the John Hardin family of Penrose, slain by a prison inmate in late August. Attorney Maurice R. Franks of Westcliffe and Pueblo made the settlement request in a letter required by Colorado law in such cases.

Richard Joseph Turner, who killed all five members of the John E. Hardin family Thursday night, was found shot to death in a stolen pickup truck, Friday afternoon about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest, near Ft. Morgan, roughly 200 miles from the scene of Thursday's murders. Turner died of a gunshot wound from a .22-caliber pistol as sheriff's officers closed in on him after a manhunt that started about 10:30 a.m. Friday, shortly after the bodies of the Hardin family were discovered in their blood-spattered home. Turner, serving an indeterminate-to-five-year sentence for a 1975 Morgan County conviction of "gross sexual imposition," was a trusty at the Fremont County Jail. He was placed there last November for protective custody. Turner was on a work detail at the Hardin ranch at the time of the slayings. Gov. Richard Lamm has ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to Turner being granted trusty status by Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti. The victims were identified as John E. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard who worked in the prison's minimum security section; his wife, Antoinette, or "Toni," 37; and their three children: Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James 2. Authorities said Mrs. Hardin and her two daughters were sexually molested, or raped. Officers said that while fleeing to Ft. Morgan, near his home, Turner took an elderly farm woman and two young girls hostage and raped one of the girls, who was 14 years old. The bodies of Hardin and his wife were found about 9:30 a.m. Friday when a telephone repairman, responding to a phone-off-the-hook service call, opened the garage door. When Fremont County Sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the infant's body in a front bedroom, and the bodies of the teenaged girls in separate bedrooms. Fremont County Coroner Henry Grabow said that late Friday it was known definitely that only one of the victims, one of the daughters, suffered a gunshot wound. He said the scene was so bloody and the wounds were so extensive, that it will take some time to determine if more bullet wounds were involved. He noted that one of the girls had a badly bruised arm, and though he ruled out possible use of a knife, Grabow said the assailant may have also used a weapon other than a gun - perhaps a "blunt" instrument, he said. Grabow said there was no evidence of a struggle. The Hardin children were found in night clothes and the parents were dressed in day clothes, he said. The females were found partially undressed. Grabow said that from his preliminary investigation, "I would guess that everybody was killed before they were (sexually) molested. At least it appears that way." Authorities have not determined the exact time of death, however there is reason to believe that some of the murders occurred about 10:30 p.m. Apparently Hardin and his wife left Turner with their children to go out for a while. The children were apparently killed in the meantime and when the parents returned, the parents were killed while parking their vehicle in the garage. Neighbors were quoted as saying that their dogs barked because of some disturbance about 10:30 p.m. No neighbors heard shots, however. Karl Hodgson, the Mountain Bell employe who first came upon the murder scene, said he first grew suspicious when he found a fun laying on the front yard of the ranch house. Authorities said the gun was a .357 magnum service revolver believed owned by Hardin. But when deputies entered the house, they found that a gun case had been broken into and many other handguns and a number of rifles had been taken. It is believed Turner made his getaway from Fremont County using a 1972 yellow four-wheel-drive pickup truck stolen from Hardin's house. Officers said it is believed to be the truck Turner shot himself in. Thursday's manhunt narrowed when a ranch wife in Morgan County reported to sheriff's officers that a red-haired man driving a four-wheel drive pickup tried to drive across her property. The truck was spotted again north of Sterling, northeast of Ft. Morgan, where the elderly woman and two girls were taken hostage. Turner raped the 14-year-old in a barn, then left alone, officers said. A short while later, Morgan County Deputy Sheriff Leo Barker came upon the vehicle which had overheated and stalled about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest. A farmer, Burlie Segelke, had stopped minutes earlier and tried to get the vehicle started by pushing it. Barker said he ordered Segelke to approach him, then heard a shot inside the cab of the pickup truck. He found Turner dead of a head wound. Barker said he found the pistol, five rifles and a shotgun in the cab. Most of the weapons were cocked and ready to fire, he said. Apparently the weapons were those taken from the Hardin residence. A search airplane with Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents aboard landed in a nearby field just after Turner died. Turner was sentenced in Morgan County to a five-year-to-indefinite sentence at the state prison after pleading guilty to a charge of "gross sexual imposition." That plea was made to a reduced charge stemming from charges of rape and menacing in September 1974 after two teenaged girls from Grand Rapids, Mich., told officers he picked them up in his car near Brush and attacked them on a rural road south of Ft. Morgan. Records also show that in September 1975, while on furlough from the state prison, Turner was charged with assault and battery on a state patrolman at Ft. Morgan after the patrolman stopped his car for a traffic check. Turner was moved from the maximum security unit at the state prison to the Fremont County Jail last Nov. 20 after he witnessed the slaying of another inmate. Turner was released as a trustee to work bailing hay on Hardin's ranch house property. However, it is not known why jail officials did not discover Turner's absence Thursday night. Fremont County Undersheriff Don Cook said the county jail only had one other penitentiary inmate in its custody besides Turner, and that "it's been the practice in the past for these inmates to return to the jail after they have finished working for the day." He said, "I don't know what the arrangement the Sheriff (John Vernetti) made in Turner's case." Vernetti was not at the scene of the murders when reporters were present, and efforts to reach him Friday were unsuccessful. Cook said Vernetti spent much of the day trying to find Hardin's parents, who live in a remote area between Canon City and Westcliffe. The parents were found late in the afternoon. According to Jerry Agee, chief of the state corrections department, Turner was placed on trusty basis Thursday by the sheriff's office and was released to work on Hardin's ranch. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 1, 1976 - Friends Still Asking 'Why?' As Hardin Family is Buried - When Death strikes down the innocent and young, for every fragile form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity, and love, to walk the world, and bless it. - Charles Dickens. Rye - Perhaps the anger was still evident deep inside the mourners of the John E. Hardin family. If is was, it was shrouded by sadness for the five slain members. Still the faces of the large gathering expressed disbelief, shock and the tragic realization that their former neighbors and friends were being put to rest. The caskets of Mr. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard, his wife, Antoinette (Toni), 35 and their three children, Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James, 3, were lined up before the approximately 500 in attendance. The funeral services were held Tuesday at the Rye High School gymnasium, the town where Mr. Hardin grew up. Officiating were the Rev. Paul Leaming and Father Ronald Roche. Following the services, interment services were held at the Rye Cemetery. Survivors include Mr. Hardin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin; two daughters by a previous marriage, Janda Sue and Bobbi Jean; two brothers, Frank and Jack Hardin and a sister, Susan Kiner. Mrs. Hardin is survived by her father, Esetuiel Baca; her mother Mrs. Celco Savala; two sons from a previous marriage, Larry and Troy Sanchez; four sisters, Mrs. Stella Castro, Gloria Alarid, Theresa Arudder, and Louise Whitcomb; four brothers, Richardo, Joseph, and Robert Baca and Tim Savala. The tragic events which led to Tuesday's funeral began to unfold last Friday when the family was found murdered in its Penrose home near Canon City. Richard Joseph Turner, who was working on furlough for the Hardins, as a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate, was the object of a state-wide search. He was found shot to death by his own hand, in a stolen pickup truck Friday afternoon near Fort Morgan as sheriff's officers closed in. The mourners paid their final respects to the Hardin family in the tiny town located southwest of Pueblo. Their faces still expressed the question, "Why?" Whatever the reason, or reasons, the killings prompted Gov. Richard Lamm to call a special session of the Colorado Legislature to work out a new plan to increase security at the state's penal institutions. But for the slain family, relatives and friends, it seemed of little consequence Monday. Following the services, the caskets were rolled out to the waiting hearses. As the mourners watched and comforted the family's survivors the bearers, the Fremont County Sheriff's Posse, first carried out the casket of Carol. Lori and her mother were next, then Jimmy and his father, whose casket was draped with the American flag. The tragedy had stunned the state and the funeral drew a few newspeople who, while realizing the touchy and sad situation, were not entirely welcome. A television cameraman, he related later, was approached by a member of the Hardin family and asked, "Why can't you (the news media) leave things be." A newspaper photographer was approached by another woman who asked him, "Do you care so much for your job that you have to do this?" The photographer explained that it wasn't his decision and the woman told him, "Tell your editor to go to hell." The tiny cemetery was soon crowded for the final service which concluded with the honor guard presenting the flag to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin - the final possession of their son's, but not the final memory. The large gathering soon departed leaving the Hardins, a family in life, still together as a family in death. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 2, 1976 - Undersheriff Wanted to Resign Prior to Hardin Murders, Sheriff Declares - Canon City - Fremont County Undersheriff Raymond D. "Don" Cooke resigned his post Tuesday stating among his reasons that, "It is my personal opinion that you (Sheriff John Vernetti) are solely to blame for this tragedy because you were aware of Richard Turner's attitude prior to the events of Aug. 27." At a press conference in Canon City Wednesday, Vernetti said Cooke had asked to resign on Aug. 24, four days before the family was killed. "Cooke mentioned that he wanted to resign prior to the Hardin incident. I was in the process of honoring his request," Vernetti said. Hardin, 37, his wife, Antoinette, 35, daughters, Lori, 15, Carol, 13, and son James, 3, were killed Friday by Colorado State Penitentiary inmate Richard J. Turner, who was working at the Hardin ranch on furlough from the Fremont County Sheriff's Department. Turner later killed himself near Fort Morgan as law enforcement officers closed in. In the letter, Cooke blamed Vernetti exclusively for the murders because he said the sheriff had known of Turner's "attitude" prior to the murder. Vernetti responded that he did not know what Cooke had intended by the word - "attitude." "I don't know what Mr. Cooke meant by that statement. While Mr. Turner was here, and before he met with the July parole board, I asked them to run a mental evaluation on him because I thought he had a problem with his temper," Vernetti said. The sheriff said he requested that a test be administered, and that he believed Turner was in the process of psychological evaluation by the West Central Mental Health Clinic in Canon City at the time he killed the Hardin family. Further questions regarding Turner's mental state would have to be referred to the clinic, Vernetti said, adding, "I'm not a psychologist." Vernetti said when Turner was transferred to the county jail for protective custody because he had witnessed a murder, he had asked the penitentiary for his status, and prison officials said Turner was on trusty status. He also quoted a prison investigator, John Snow, as saying, in effect, that co-operation with Turner would help in the case in which Turner was a witness. Snow, earlier in the week, told a reporter that Vernetti had asked for Turner as a trusty because he liked him. Vernetti said the terms of the agreement with the prison were that Turner could not be placed on any work details outside a fenced area without the supervision of a law enforcement officer. Turner was working for Hardin, who was a reserve prison guard as well as a rancher, at the time of the slayings. Vernetti said, however, that officers from his department should have checked on Turner the evening before the slayings when Turner failed to return from the Hardin ranch where he was on work release. He said Turner was due back at the county jail after supper, but a search was not launched for him until after the bodies of the Hardin family were found Friday morning. Asked if he was aware of any time that Turner had violated terms of his work release, authorized Feb. 19, Vernetti said he hadn't. But asked if he knew of an instance in which Turner failed to return to the jail on time while working on a construction project Feb. 27, Vernetti produced a report which showed that Turner was brought back to the jail late that night by deputies who searched for him. The report said Turner admitted to drinking four beers that night. Turner's trusty status prohibited his drinking of alcoholic beverages. Cooke also condemned Vernetti for his association with inmate James Chryslar. Chryslar, on trusty status at the Fremont County Jail, was sentenced in district court Wednesday for burglary, Vernetti said. Cooke's letter said: "Chryslar has taken part in a crime of violence and I feel he is not to be trusted. I personally was involved in an arrest on this man where he stated he would not be taken alive by officers. This man now has the run of the building." Vernetti said he could refute Cooke's charges regarding Chryslar "100 percent." He said the inmate had never participated in a crime of violence in Fremont County. "There is no record. If Mr. Cooke has a record of that he should return it to us because it belongs to the sheriff's department. Chryslar is on a trusty status here. He works only in the jail. He is not on work release or anything else," Vernetti said. Asked if he thought the murders indicated a need for a radical overhaul of policies at the penitentiary, Vernetti said, "I've never been in favor of radical changes. The governor is probably right in what he thinks needs to be done. And the citizens of Fremont County are partly right." The citizens of Canon City and the surrounding area, meanwhile, held a second public meeting Wednesday night with guards at the penitentiary for discussion of a petition drive demanding a grand jury investigation of "the governor's official conduct" with regard to administration of the prison. In addition to that request, the petition requests that the grand jury investigate and make recommendations concerning the following matters: The necessity of appointing a single warden for the prison with single final authority in the administration of the penitentiary; An investigation of the circumstances surrounding the recent release under the work release program of Turner; An investigation and recommendations regarding the conditions inside the penitentiary and the hazardous working conditions of personnel employed there. Ray Shoop, chairman of the petition drive, said guards who attended the meeting were supportive of the action. "The guards see the petition as a tool to get some things done that they've been wanting to get done." Shoop said that the subject of Vernetti's conduct with regard to Turner had not been raised. "This committee is not out head hunting. We just want to get some problems righted. The sheriff's office will be included in the investigation of the circumstances around the murders," he said. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - November 9, 1976 - Survivors of Massacred Family Ask $40 Million in Damages From State - Pueblo - Colorado Atty. Gen. J.D. MacFarlane has been asked to settle claims of $40 million in damages by survivors of the five members of the John Hardin family of Penrose, slain by a prison inmate in late August. Attorney Maurice R. Franks of Westcliffe and Pueblo made the settlement request in a letter required by Colorado law in such cases. The law requires persons seeking damage payments from the state to file a notice of intent within 90 days after the damage was done. Slain on Aug. 26 at their Penrose home were John Hardin, a Colorado State Penitentiary guard; his wife Antoinette; and three children, James Aubrey, 3, Carol, 12, and Laura, 15. The woman and two girls were raped and shot and the boy was beaten to death. The family was slain by Richard Turner, 23, a prison inmate on work release assigned to Hardin who police said killed himself as officers closed in. Turner was on a work release program from Fremont County Jail after being transferred from the medium security unit of the prison as a material witness to an inmate murder. A parole board rating filed last Jan. 8 by Board chairman Gordon Heggle said, "Richard Turner comes through in the interview as the classic rapist. There is no reason in the world to believe that he would not commit the third rape of his life and be arrested and convicted for the third time if he were released," the report said. Turner was sentenced to the prison from Morgan County after his conviction of two counts of gross sexual imposition. Franks said that he represents Inez A. Savala of Rye, the mother of Mrs. Hardin and grandmother of the three dead children; Ronnie Sanchez of Pueblo, father of the slain girls and guardian of two sons who are brothers of the two girls and half-brothers of the boy who was killed; and the two Sanchez boys, Larry and Troy. Franks has been trying to get information from the Colorado Bureau of investigation and from the attorney general to identify "who is responsible for Turner's being free to commit the rapes and the murders." However, Howard Gillespie, agent-in-charge of the CBI in Denver, said the CBI investigation was only of the crime scene and would in no way identify the persons whom the family is seeking. Further, he said, the reports are investigative and not open to the public. The lawyer said the alleged negligence of government officials gives rise to claims under Colorado negligence laws. But, he said, he also believes claims can be filed under the guarantees of equal protection under the law and of due process by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The family is seeking $20 million in actual damages, and $20 million in punitive and exemplary damages. Franks said if the claims are not paid, lawsuits will be filed. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 23, 1977 - State Sued for $360 Million - Denver - Relatives and heirs of a five-member Penrose family, murdered last year by an escaped convict, have filed a $360 million damage suit against the state of Colorado and top corrections officials. The filing of the suit Monday in district court came almost one year after John E. Hardin, his wife and three children were found murdered last Aug. 26 in their blood-spattered home. Mrs. Hardin and one of her daughters had been raped. Named as defendants in the suit were the state of Colorado, Gerald Agee, former director of the Colorado Division of Correctional Services; Dr. Raymond Leidig, director of the Colorado Department of Institutions; members of the state penitentiary staff; the Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti, and several members of his staff. Richard Turner, the murderer, a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate who was being held in protective custody in Fremont County Jail, had been released to work in the home of Hardin, a prison guard. Turner fled the area to northeastern Colorado, where he shot and killed himself as law officers closed in near Brush. A grand jury investigating the tragedy last December issued strong reprimands to prison officials who had been involved in Turner's case. The damage suit, filed by Pueblo attorney Maurice Franks, also claims that Gov. Richard Lamm, and officials of the state penal system and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation were involved in a conspiracy in the incident.

Hardin, John E.
John E. Hardin - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 28, 1976 - Escapee Kills Five; Takes His Own Life - A 23-year-old Colorado State Penitentiary inmate shot himself to death Friday afternoon after a rampage of murder and rape that resulted in the mass slaying of a five-member family in their three-bedroom ranch house a mile south of Penrose. Richard Joseph Turner, who killed all five members of the John E. Hardin family Thursday night, was found shot to death in a stolen pickup truck, Friday afternoon about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest, near Ft. Morgan, roughly 200 miles from the scene of Thursday's murders. Turner died of a gunshot wound from a .22-caliber pistol as sheriff's officers closed in on him after a manhunt that started about 10:30 a.m. Friday, shortly after the bodies of the Hardin family were discovered in their blood-spattered home. Turner, serving an indeterminate-to-five-year sentence for a 1975 Morgan County conviction of "gross sexual imposition," was a trusty at the Fremont County Jail.

Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 2, 1976 - Undersheriff Wanted to Resign Prior to Hardin Murders, Sheriff Declares - Canon City - Fremont County Undersheriff Raymond D. "Don" Cooke resigned his post Tuesday stating among his reasons that, "It is my personal opinion that you (Sheriff John Vernetti) are solely to blame for this tragedy because you were aware of Richard Turner's attitude prior to the events of Aug. 27." At a press conference in Canon City Wednesday, Vernetti said Cooke had asked to resign on Aug. 24, four days before the family was killed. "Cooke mentioned that he wanted to resign prior to the Hardin incident. I was in the process of honoring his request," Vernetti said.

Turner, who was working at the Hardin ranch on furlough from the Fremont County Sheriff's Department. Turner later killed himself near Fort Morgan as law enforcement officers closed in. In the letter, Cooke blamed Vernetti exclusively for the murders because he said the sheriff had known of Turner's "attitude" prior to the murder.

I personally was involved in an arrest on this man where he stated he would not be taken alive by officers. This man now has the run of the building." Vernetti said he could refute Cooke's charges regarding Chryslar "100 percent." He said the inmate had never participated in a crime of violence in Fremont County. "There is no record. If Mr. Cooke has a record of that he should return it to us because it belongs to the sheriff's department. Chryslar is on a trusty status here. He works only in the jail. He is not on work release or anything else," Vernetti said. Asked if he thought the murders indicated a need for a radical overhaul of policies at the penitentiary, Vernetti said, "I've never been in favor of radical changes. The governor is probably right in what he thinks needs to be done. And the citizens of Fremont County are partly right." The citizens of Canon City and the surrounding area, meanwhile, held a second public meeting Wednesday night with guards at the penitentiary for discussion of a petition drive demanding a grand jury investigation of "the governor's official conduct" with regard to administration of the prison. In addition to that request, the petition requests that the grand jury investigate and make recommendations concerning the following matters: The necessity of appointing a single warden for the prison with single final authority in the administration of the penitentiary; An investigation of the circumstances surrounding the recent release under the work release program of Turner; An investigation and recommendations regarding the conditions inside the penitentiary and the hazardous working conditions of personnel employed there. Ray Shoop, chairman of the petition drive, said guards who attended the meeting were supportive of the action. "The guards see the petition as a tool to get some things done that they've been wanting to get done." Shoop said that the subject of Vernetti's conduct with regard to Turner had not been raised. "This committee is not out head hunting. We just want to get some problems righted. The sheriff's office will be included in the investigation of the circumstances around the murders," he said. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - November 9, 1976 - Survivors of Massacred Family Ask $40 Million in Damages From State - Pueblo - Colorado Atty. Gen. J.D. MacFarlane has been asked to settle claims of $40 million in damages by survivors of the five members of the John Hardin family of Penrose, slain by a prison inmate in late August. Attorney Maurice R. Franks of Westcliffe and Pueblo made the settlement request in a letter required by Colorado law in such cases. The law requires persons seeking damage payments from the state to file a notice of intent within 90 days after the damage was done. Slain on Aug. 26 at their Penrose home were John Hardin, a Colorado State Penitentiary guard; his wife Antoinette; and three children, James Aubrey, 3, Carol, 12, and Laura, 15. The woman and two girls were raped and shot and the boy was beaten to death. The family was slain by Richard Turner, 23, a prison inmate on work release assigned to Hardin who police said killed himself as officers closed in. Turner was on a work release program from Fremont County Jail after being transferred from the medium security unit of the prison as a material witness to an inmate murder. A parole board rating filed last Jan. 8 by Board chairman Gordon Heggle said, "Richard Turner comes through in the interview as the classic rapist. There is no reason in the world to believe that he would not commit the third rape of his life and be arrested and convicted for the third time if he were released," the report said. Turner was sentenced to the prison from Morgan County after his conviction of two counts of gross sexual imposition. Franks said that he represents Inez A. Savala of Rye, the mother of Mrs. Hardin and grandmother of the three dead children; Ronnie Sanchez of Pueblo, father of the slain girls and guardian of two sons who are brothers of the two girls and half-brothers of the boy who was killed; and the two Sanchez boys, Larry and Troy. Franks has been trying to get information from the Colorado Bureau of investigation and from the attorney general to identify "who is responsible for Turner's being free to commit the rapes and the murders." However, Howard Gillespie, agent-in-charge of the CBI in Denver, said the CBI investigation was only of the crime scene and would in no way identify the persons whom the family is seeking. Further, he said, the reports are investigative and not open to the public. The lawyer said the alleged negligence of government officials gives rise to claims under Colorado negligence laws. But, he said, he also believes claims can be filed under the guarantees of equal protection under the law and of due process by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The family is seeking $20 million in actual damages, and $20 million in punitive and exemplary damages. Franks said if the claims are not paid, lawsuits will be filed. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 23, 1977 - State Sued for $360 Million - Denver - Relatives and heirs of a five-member Penrose family, murdered last year by an escaped convict, have filed a $360 million damage suit against the state of Colorado and top corrections officials. The filing of the suit Monday in district court came almost one year after John E. Hardin, his wife and three children were found murdered last Aug. 26 in their blood-spattered home. Mrs. Hardin and one of her daughters had been raped. Named as defendants in the suit were the state of Colorado, Gerald Agee, former director of the Colorado Division of Correctional Services; Dr. Raymond Leidig, director of the Colorado Department of Institutions; members of the state penitentiary staff; the Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti, and several members of his staff. Richard Turner, the murderer, a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate who was being held in protective custody in Fremont County Jail, had been released to work in the home of Hardin, a prison guard. Turner fled the area to northeastern Colorado, where he shot and killed himself as law officers closed in near Brush. A grand jury investigating the tragedy last December issued strong reprimands to prison officials who had been involved in Turner's case. The damage suit, filed by Pueblo attorney Maurice Franks, also claims that Gov. Richard Lamm, and officials of the state penal system and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation were involved in a conspiracy in the incident.

Hardin, Lori
Lori Hardin - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - August 28, 1976 - Escapee Kills Five; Takes His Own Life - A 23-year-old Colorado State Penitentiary inmate shot himself to death Friday afternoon after a rampage of murder and rape that resulted in the mass slaying of a five-member family in their three-bedroom ranch house a mile south of Penrose. Richard Joseph Turner, who killed all five members of the John E. Hardin family Thursday night, was found shot to death in a stolen pickup truck, Friday afternoon about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest, near Ft. Morgan, roughly 200 miles from the scene of Thursday's murders. Turner died of a gunshot wound from a .22-caliber pistol as sheriff's officers closed in on him after a manhunt that started about 10:30 a.m. Friday, shortly after the bodies of the Hardin family were discovered in their blood-spattered home. Turner, serving an indeterminate-to-five-year sentence for a 1975 Morgan County conviction of "gross sexual imposition," was a trusty at the Fremont County Jail. He was placed there last November for protective custody. Turner was on a work detail at the Hardin ranch at the time of the slayings. Gov. Richard Lamm has ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to Turner being granted trusty status by Fremont County Sheriff John Vernetti. The victims were identified as John E. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard who worked in the prison's minimum security section; his wife, Antoinette, or "Toni," 37; and their three children: Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James 2. Authorities said Mrs. Hardin and her two daughters were sexually molested, or raped. Officers said that while fleeing to Ft. Morgan, near his home, Turner took an elderly farm woman and two young girls hostage and raped one of the girls, who was 14 years old. The bodies of Hardin and his wife were found about 9:30 a.m. Friday when a telephone repairman, responding to a phone-off-the-hook service call, opened the garage door. When Fremont County Sheriff's deputies arrived, they found the infant's body in a front bedroom, and the bodies of the teenaged girls in separate bedrooms. Fremont County Coroner Henry Grabow said that late Friday it was known definitely that only one of the victims, one of the daughters, suffered a gunshot wound. He said the scene was so bloody and the wounds were so extensive, that it will take some time to determine if more bullet wounds were involved. He noted that one of the girls had a badly bruised arm, and though he ruled out possible use of a knife, Grabow said the assailant may have also used a weapon other than a gun - perhaps a "blunt" instrument, he said. Grabow said there was no evidence of a struggle. The Hardin children were found in night clothes and the parents were dressed in day clothes, he said. The females were found partially undressed. Grabow said that from his preliminary investigation, "I would guess that everybody was killed before they were (sexually) molested. At least it appears that way." Authorities have not determined the exact time of death, however there is reason to believe that some of the murders occurred about 10:30 p.m. Apparently Hardin and his wife left Turner with their children to go out for a while. The children were apparently killed in the meantime and when the parents returned, the parents were killed while parking their vehicle in the garage. Neighbors were quoted as saying that their dogs barked because of some disturbance about 10:30 p.m. No neighbors heard shots, however. Karl Hodgson, the Mountain Bell employe who first came upon the murder scene, said he first grew suspicious when he found a fun laying on the front yard of the ranch house. Authorities said the gun was a .357 magnum service revolver believed owned by Hardin. But when deputies entered the house, they found that a gun case had been broken into and many other handguns and a number of rifles had been taken. It is believed Turner made his getaway from Fremont County using a 1972 yellow four-wheel-drive pickup truck stolen from Hardin's house. Officers said it is believed to be the truck Turner shot himself in. Thursday's manhunt narrowed when a ranch wife in Morgan County reported to sheriff's officers that a red-haired man driving a four-wheel drive pickup tried to drive across her property. The truck was spotted again north of Sterling, northeast of Ft. Morgan, where the elderly woman and two girls were taken hostage. Turner raped the 14-year-old in a barn, then left alone, officers said. A short while later, Morgan County Deputy Sheriff Leo Barker came upon the vehicle which had overheated and stalled about seven miles northeast of Hillcrest. A farmer, Burlie Segelke, had stopped minutes earlier and tried to get the vehicle started by pushing it. Barker said he ordered Segelke to approach him, then heard a shot inside the cab of the pickup truck. He found Turner dead of a head wound. Barker said he found the pistol, five rifles and a shotgun in the cab. Most of the weapons were cocked and ready to fire, he said. Apparently the weapons were those taken from the Hardin residence. A search airplane with Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents aboard landed in a nearby field just after Turner died. Turner was sentenced in Morgan County to a five-year-to-indefinite sentence at the state prison after pleading guilty to a charge of "gross sexual imposition." That plea was made to a reduced charge stemming from charges of rape and menacing in September 1974 after two teenaged girls from Grand Rapids, Mich., told officers he picked them up in his car near Brush and attacked them on a rural road south of Ft. Morgan. Records also show that in September 1975, while on furlough from the state prison, Turner was charged with assault and battery on a state patrolman at Ft. Morgan after the patrolman stopped his car for a traffic check. Turner was moved from the maximum security unit at the state prison to the Fremont County Jail last Nov. 20 after he witnessed the slaying of another inmate. Turner was released as a trustee to work bailing hay on Hardin's ranch house property. However, it is not known why jail officials did not discover Turner's absence Thursday night. Fremont County Undersheriff Don Cook said the county jail only had one other penitentiary inmate in its custody besides Turner, and that "it's been the practice in the past for these inmates to return to the jail after they have finished working for the day." He said, "I don't know what the arrangement the Sheriff (John Vernetti) made in Turner's case." Vernetti was not at the scene of the murders when reporters were present, and efforts to reach him Friday were unsuccessful. Cook said Vernetti spent much of the day trying to find Hardin's parents, who live in a remote area between Canon City and Westcliffe. The parents were found late in the afternoon. According to Jerry Agee, chief of the state corrections department, Turner was placed on trusty basis Thursday by the sheriff's office and was released to work on Hardin's ranch. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 1, 1976 - Friends Still Asking 'Why?' As Hardin Family is Buried - When Death strikes down the innocent and young, for every fragile form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity, and love, to walk the world, and bless it. - Charles Dickens. Rye - Perhaps the anger was still evident deep inside the mourners of the John E. Hardin family. If is was, it was shrouded by sadness for the five slain members. Still the faces of the large gathering expressed disbelief, shock and the tragic realization that their former neighbors and friends were being put to rest. The caskets of Mr. Hardin, 37, a reserve penitentiary guard, his wife, Antoinette (Toni), 35 and their three children, Lori, 15; Carol, 13; and James, 3, were lined up before the approximately 500 in attendance. The funeral services were held Tuesday at the Rye High School gymnasium, the town where Mr. Hardin grew up. Officiating were the Rev. Paul Leaming and Father Ronald Roche. Following the services, interment services were held at the Rye Cemetery. Survivors include Mr. Hardin's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin; two daughters by a previous marriage, Janda Sue and Bobbi Jean; two brothers, Frank and Jack Hardin and a sister, Susan Kiner. Mrs. Hardin is survived by her father, Esetuiel Baca; her mother Mrs. Celco Savala; two sons from a previous marriage, Larry and Troy Sanchez; four sisters, Mrs. Stella Castro, Gloria Alarid, Theresa Arudder, and Louise Whitcomb; four brothers, Richardo, Joseph, and Robert Baca and Tim Savala. The tragic events which led to Tuesday's funeral began to unfold last Friday when the family was found murdered in its Penrose home near Canon City. Richard Joseph Turner, who was working on furlough for the Hardins, as a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate, was the object of a state-wide search. He was found shot to death by his own hand, in a stolen pickup truck Friday afternoon near Fort Morgan as sheriff's officers closed in. The mourners paid their final respects to the Hardin family in the tiny town located southwest of Pueblo. Their faces still expressed the question, "Why?" Whatever the reason, or reasons, the killings prompted Gov. Richard Lamm to call a special session of the Colorado Legislature to work out a new plan to increase security at the state's penal institutions. But for the slain family, relatives and friends, it seemed of little consequence Monday. Following the services, the caskets were rolled out to the waiting hearses. As the mourners watched and comforted the family's survivors the bearers, the Fremont County Sheriff's Posse, first carried out the casket of Carol. Lori and her mother were next, then Jimmy and his father, whose casket was draped with the American flag. The tragedy had stunned the state and the funeral drew a few newspeople who, while realizing the touchy and sad situation, were not entirely welcome. A television cameraman, he related later, was approached by a member of the Hardin family and asked, "Why can't you (the news media) leave things be." A newspaper photographer was approached by another woman who asked him, "Do you care so much for your job that you have to do this?" The photographer explained that it wasn't his decision and the woman told him, "Tell your editor to go to hell." The tiny cemetery was soon crowded for the final service which concluded with the honor guard presenting the flag to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hardin - the final possession of their son's, but not the final memory. The large gathering soon departed leaving the Hardins, a family in life, still together as a family in death. Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 2, 1976 - Undersheriff Wanted to Resign Prior to Hardin Murders, Sheriff Declares - Canon City - Fremont County Undersheriff Raymond D. "Don" Cooke resigned his post Tuesday stating among his reasons that, "It is my personal opinion that you (Sheriff John Vernetti) are solely to blame for this tragedy because you were aware of Richard Turner's attitude prior to the events of Aug. 27." At a press conference in Canon City Wednesday, Vernetti said Cooke had asked to resign on Aug. 24, four days before the family was killed. "Cooke mentioned that he wanted to resign prior to the Hardin incident. I was in the process of honoring his request," Vernetti said. Hardin, 37, his wife, Antoinette, 35, daughters, Lori, 15, Carol, 13, and son James, 3, were killed Friday by Colorado State Penitentiary inmate Richard J. Turner, who was working at the Hardin ranch on furlough from the Fremont County Sheriff's Department. Turner later killed himself near Fort Morgan as law enforcement officers closed in. In the letter, Cooke blamed Vernetti exclusively for the murders because he said the sheriff had known of Turner's "attitude" prior to the murder. Vernetti responded that he did not know what Cooke had intended by the word - "attitude." "I don't know what Mr. Cooke meant by that statement. While Mr. Turner was here, and before he met with the July parole board, I asked them to run a mental evaluation on him because I thought he had a problem with his temper," Vernetti said. The sheriff said he requested that a test be administered, and that he believed Turner was in the process of psychological evaluation by the West Central Mental Health Clinic in Canon City at the time he killed the Hardin family. Further questions regarding Turner's mental state would have to be referred to the clinic, Vernetti said, adding, "I'm not a psychologist." Vernetti said when Turner was transferred to the county jail for protective custody because he had witnessed a murder, he had asked the penitentiary for his status, and prison officials said Turner was on trusty status. He also quoted a prison investigator, John Snow, as saying, in effect, that co-operation with Turner would help in the case in which Turner was a witness. Snow, earlier in the week, told a reporter that Vernetti had asked for Turner as a trusty because he liked him. Vernetti said the terms of the agreement with the prison were that Turner could not be placed on any work details outside a fenced area without the supervision of a law enforcement officer. Turner was working for Hardin, who was a reserve prison guard as well as a rancher, at the time of the slayings. Vernetti said, however, that officers from his department should have checked on Turner the evening before the slayings when Turner failed to return from the Hardin ranch where he was on work release. He said Turner was due back at the county jail after supper, but a search was not launched for him until after the bodies of the Hardin family were found Friday morning. Asked if he was aware of any time that Turner had violated terms of his work release, authorized Feb. 19, Vernetti said he hadn't. But asked if he knew of an instance in which Turner failed to return to the jail on time while working on a construction project Feb. 27, Vernetti produced a report which showed that Turner was brought back to the jail late that night by deputies who searched for him. The report said Turner admitted to drinking four beers that night. Turner's trusty status prohibited his drinking of alcoholic beverages. Cooke also condemned Vernetti for his association with inmate James Chryslar. Chryslar, on trusty status at the Fremont County Jail, was sentenced in district court Wednesday for burglary, Vernetti said. Cooke's letter said: "Chryslar has taken part in a crime of violence and I feel he is not to be trusted. I personally was involved in an arrest on this man where he stated he would not be taken alive by officers. This man now has the run of the building." Vernetti said he could refute Cooke's charges regarding Chryslar "100 percent." He said the inmate had never participated in a crime of violence in Fremont County. "There is no record. If Mr. Cooke has a record of that he should return it to us because it belongs to the sheriff's department. Chryslar is on a trusty status here. He works only in the jail. He is not on work release or anything else," Vernetti said. Asked if he thought the murders indicated a need for a radical overhaul of policies at the penitentiary, Vernetti said, "I've never been in favor of radical changes. The governor is probably right in what he thinks needs to be done. And the citizens of Fremont County are partly right." The citizens of Canon City and the surrounding area, meanwhile, held a second public meeting Wednesday night with guards at the penitentiary for discussion of a petition drive demanding a grand jury investigation of "the governor's official conduct" with regard to administration of the prison. In addition to that request, the petition requests that the grand jury investigate and make recommendations concerning the following matters: The necessity of appointing a single warden for the prison with single final authority in the administration of the penitentiary; An investigation of the circumstances surrounding the recent release under the work release program of Turner; An investigation and recommendations regarding the conditions inside the penitentiary and the hazardous working conditions of personnel employed there.

Hardin, Richard Family of
Richard Hardin - Pueblo Chieftain - August 28, 1976 - Did tavern hassle lead to murders? - Penrose (C-SJ) An incident in a Penrose bar late Thursday may have been the launching point for a spree of rape and murder by a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate in which he and a five member Penrose family were killed. Richard Turner, 24, a CSP inmate, murdered Richard Hardin, his wife, Toni and their three children sometime between late Thursday and early Friday. Turner later shot himself when police closed in on him near Fort Morgan. According to witnesses at the scene, Hardin and Turner had been drinking together Thursday night. Local authorities would not confirm this Friday afternoon. However in a check by The Pueblo Chieftain, one Penrose tavern owner said Turner and Hardin did spend nearly four hours in his establishment Thursday evening. John Miller, owner of Gab's Cafι, said Hardin and Turner had a little hassle before they left his tavern. Miller said the two had been drinking during the time they spent in the bar but he couldn't say whether either one or both of the men were drunk.

Hardin, Victor K.
Victor K. Hardin – Los Angeles Times - August 8, 2002 – Victor K. Hardin was born Sept. 25, 1917 in Plains, CO. He died August 4, 2002. He moved to CA during the Depression traveling with a friend in a Model T. Ford to avoid the dust bowl. He began working for Lumley Motors in Huntington Park as a porter. He worked his way up to become General Manager of the Lumley dealerships in Los Angeles and Huntington Park. World War II broke out and Victor joined the service. He rose to the rank of Captain in the Air Force where he served in the Pacific Theatre and after the war, in the occupation forces in Japan. In 1947, he became partners with Jack Taylor in an Oldsmobile/Nash dealership in South Gate. In 1957, he acquired his own Oldsmobile dealership in Anaheim. The first facility was a converted gas station on North Los Angeles Street (Anaheim Boulevard) with a one-car showroom, employing twelve people. In 1963, the dealership was moved to a more modern facility at 1300 S. Anaheim Boulevard. In 1970, Victor became one of the first Honda automobile dealers. Honda was an upstart automobile company at the time with a compact car that was not very popular and most dealers turned down the opportunity to sell Honda. In 1973, Victor was joined by his son, Dennis in the business and the two quickly became partners and continued that partnership until Victor's passing. Hondas quickly gained in popularity with the introduction of the Civic in 1973. In 1991, the Honda dealership expanded to the point where it became necessary to build a separate facility in the Anaheim Auto Center. Also in 1991, the GMC Truck franchise was acquired. In 2000, the Buick and Pontiac franchises were purchased, Oldsmobile was terminated and the three remaining GM franchises were also moved to the Anaheim Auto Center. Today, forty-five years later, the company employs 220 employees between the two dealerships. Victor was the first president of the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association and served on many dealer councils and other industry-wide dealer leadership positions. He also served throughout the community in many charitable causes including the Optimists Club, as president, a member of the Free Masons, CHOC, YMCA, OC Performing Arts Center and many other charities. Vic was a great lover of the outdoors. He enjoyed golf, hunting and fishing trips around the world. He enjoyed socializing with his many friends and was well liked by all. The Orange County Register named him Sexiest Man in Orange County in 1995. Vic was a long time resident of both Dana Point and Indian Wells. He is survived by his wife, Karen of Dana Point, his brother George "Dobber" of Denver, CO, his son Dennis of Anaheim, daughter Victoria Woods of Salem OR, six grandchildren, Travis, Roberta, Sanya, Jared, Aubrey and Eric, and four great-grand daughters. Seven family members are continuing his legacy in the family business. Even in his last days, working in the family business brought him great pleasure. Services will be held today, Thurs. Aug. 8th at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana at 11 a.m.

Harper, Mr.
Mr. Harper - Walsenburg World - November 21, 1901 - Bad Accident - A serious accident occurred at Bowen last evening that resulted in the death of a colored man named Harper and the probable fatal injury of an old gentleman named James Miller, a miner. The accident occurred on the 1,800 foot tramway. Miller was walking down the tram and was near the bottom when he was struck by a car that had gotten away from its moorings above. Harper _______ when it struck the bottom. Mr. Miller is at the hospital suffering from injuries which it is thought will prove fatal. His right leg was cut off, his left arm broken and skull fractured. He is 56 years of age and was living with a son at Bowen. His wife is in Illinois. We could learn nothing about Harper except that he was employed at the mine. The accident was caused by the breaking of a rope which held the cars before they were started down the tramway, which is very steep, a 56 percent grade. The coroner will investigate who was responsible. Trinidad Advertiser.

Harris, Edward
Edward Harris – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – May 18, 1876 – Murder of a Deputy Sheriff – The La Plata Miner gives the following account of the murder of Edward Harris, deputy sheriff of La Plata county, on Sunday morning, April 23d: "It appears some trouble existed about a water ditch, between a person by the name of Lamb, and the Lambert family, composed of father and three sons, who were formerly residents of Silverton. A warrant was issued by the local magistrate, upon the complaint of Lamb, for the arrest of Louis Lambert, and was placed in the hands of Sheriff Harris, who attempted to make the arrest, but was forcibly resisted and threatened by Louis. He then summoned a posse comitatus of fifty-eight men, who surrounded the Lambert house by daylight on Sunday, April 23d, and Sheriff Harris, advancing toward the house, called on Louis to surrender. Receiving no reply he repeated the demand, upon which a shot was fired through an aperture in the house, from a rifle, the bullet taking effect in Sheriff Harris' head, killing him instantly. The posse then kept up a brisk fire upon the house, under cover of which two of the number, Messrs. Sackett and Stibbins, recovered the body from where it had fallen, and in doing so were shot at three times from the house, and received close "calls" each time. After removing the body the posse withdrew for consultation, during which time Hugh Lambert, the father and two of the sons, Louis and Richard, ran out of the house and escaped, a number of shots being fired after them without effect. Riley, the youngest of the Lambert boys, was placed under arrest, but no charges being preferred against him, was discharged. Deputy Sheriff Harris was a single man, about thirty-eight years old, and hails from Rhode Island.

Hearn, Winona Mae
Winona Mae Hearn - Huerfano World - December 7, 2000 - Today we mourn, but tomorrow her laughter will return to our hearts. The depth of our grief is measured by our love ... and God knows how we loved her. The beauty of rainbows, sunrises and sunsets are but reflections of her. Winona Mae Thorne was born to Wallace and Mary Garritson Thorne on Oct. 30, 1934 in Walsenburg. Her mother passed away when she was only four and she spent the rest of her childhood raised by her "Aunt Ruth" and "Uncle Clarence" Clair on a ranch north of Walsenburg. During her early years she was active in Rainbow Girls and advanced to Worthy Advisor her senior year. She graduated at the age of 16 from Huerfano County High School and received a band scholarship to the University of Denver where she graduated in 1955 with a BS degree in business education. Winnie developed her lifelong love of the legal business and politics while putting herself through college. She was employed by a law firm in Denver when she met Roger Paul Hearn of Bristow, IA. They married on a Sunday afternoon, Jan. 27, 1957 in the Park Hill Methodist Church. After her marriage she moved with Roger to Hammond, IN, then Fort St. John, BC, Canada, settling in Idaho Falls, ID in 1959 where Roger was employed as an engineer for Steams-Rogers. In Idaho Falls she continued working as a legal secretary until 1969 when she became a field representative for Congressman Orval Hansen. She continued to be active in politics and the legal profession until she retired in 1991. We will always remember Winnie for all the ways she thought of and cared for others. She enjoyed sharing with family and friends her beauty she created in her love of flowers and the outdoors. She especially loved the time spent at her and Roger's cabin on Palisades Lake boating, snowmobiling and watching the many birds and wildlife. She took great pleasure in being a part of her daughter Lori's life and most especially the lives of her grandchildren, Brant, Cassie, Brianna, Mike and Zack. Her concern for others reached beyond her family to all of her dear friends over the years. She also enjoyed her work as a volunteer at Sacred Heart Hospital Auxiliary and her involvement in the Skyline Booster Club where she and Roger served as president in 1983. Over the past eight months Winnie courageously fought a battle against cancer. It frustrated her beyond measure that she could not continue to care for others as she always had. She passed away on November 27, 2000. The family wishes to thank Dr. Krell, Dr. Hodson, Dr. Debruyn Kops and especially the nurses at EIRMC for their special kindness and care. Winnie is survived by her husband, Roger; half-sister, Judy Irwin Fair (Jerry) of Breckenridge; half-brothers, Joe Thorne (Penny) of Loveland and Don Thorne (Patty) of Pueblo; her daughter, Lori Ann Peterson (Harry) of Salt Lake City, UT and her five grandchildren.

Heath, Mr.
Mr. Heath – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – July 18, 1878 – The Lake County Sensation – Further Particulars of the Shooting of That Female Horse Thief – Our correspondent "Spectator," writing from Buena Vista, Lake county, gives the following particulars of the shooting of the female horse thief, mentioned in our special telegram yesterday: "Lake county is still ahead, and doing her best to remain so. Yesterday morning about five, I was woke up by a succession of shots being fired close to my house. I immediately got up to see what was going on and discovered several men on the bank of the river, about two hundred yards below my house, firing towards the river. I dressed myself as soon as possible, and went to see what was up. I approached the spot towards which their fire was directed, and was ordered to stop as I might get hurt, which order I immediately obeyed. It appears that there had been some horses stolen from Garland and the parties losing them had tracked them and overtaken them here and found them in possession of two men, as it was supposed at that time. They were ordered to surrender, which they refused to do and backed their refusal by drawing their weapons and opening fire, when a general skirmish commenced, the thieves running down to the river and sheltering themselves under the bank. At this time your correspondent arrived on the scene. It was found necessary to divide the foes and send two on the other side of the river so as to drive them out, so there were two men sent across, and when they commenced firing, one of the two came out in sight and was shot through the chest and died in about six hours. When the firing ceased the other man was found dead, shot through the neck, and was found to be a woman. A justice was called and a jury empanelled and verdicts rendered and the bodies washed and dressed in clean clothes, a coffin made and both bodies put in the same case and buried all complete in one day." The Female Horse Thief – Further Particulars of the Affair – Our correspondent "Spectator," at Buena Vista, Lake county, writes the following additional particulars of the late sensation at that place: "I left my letter yesterday incomplete in regard to the description. The man was about five feet eight inches in height, rather thick set, dark or brown hair, blue eyes and was about thirty years of age. The woman was rather small or below an average height, light hair, hazel eyes and about twenty-five years old. I questioned the man after he was wounded, but he would not tell anything in regard to himself of the woman, except that she was his wife. When I asked him what we should do with her, he said – "For God's sake give her a decent burial." We could not find anything on either of the bodies to give any trace of who they were. I have since learned that the man's name is Heath and that he was in the habit of hunting in the neighborhood of Garland. Until recently there had been nothing seen of him, or either of them. My informant says his wife was as good a hunter as he was." Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – July 18, 1878 – Female Horse Thief – Refuses to Surrender and is Shot by Her Pursuers – Her Husband Also Killed – [Special to the Chieftain] – Helena, Lake County, Via Canon City, July 11. – During the latter part of last night a party of five men from Garland, joined by five men of Mr. Hutchinson's cattle camp, called here for fresh horses, stating that they were in pursuit of horse thieves. They started out about daylight and traced the thieves to their camp under the steep bluff two and one-half miles north of here and a little below the residence of Mr. Chas. Holmes. They found a man and apparently a boy, with three good mules and two horses. The thieves were thrice demanded to surrender which they refused, when the supposed boy opened fire with a revolver upon the party, the man firing with a repeating gun. The first volley from the attacking party broke the neck of the boy who, horror of horrors to relate, proved to be a woman in rough male attire. The man was wounded through the chest and died at ten o'clock. He refused to give their names and there was not a scrap of paper or anything about them by which they could be identified. They showed wonderful nerve. The man is about five feet eight inches high, dark hair and brown whiskers, square features, high forehead and does not betray the thief in his looks. The woman, supposed to be his wife, was short, of stout build, hair rather light and cut short. The man died while the coroner's inquest was being held over the woman. The Garland man identified the stock and one of the saddles was found to have been stolen from Hon. Joseph Hutchinson two years ago, also a meerschaum pipe stolen from Mr. Clayton, of San Luis valley a year or more ago. The thieves are supposed to have been the ones who stole Christison's team at Leadville and probably sold the same in San Juan and were now looking for a market, Leadville way, for the stock stolen below. The decision of the coroner's inquest was in accordance with the facts as above given.

Heimbaugh, Jacob
Jacob Heimbaugh – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 18, 1875 - Jacob Heimbaugh, the man who was shot by Daniel Woodriff on Saturday evening last died on Thursday evening in great agony. Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 18, 1875 – The Heimbaugh Shooting Case – A coroner's inquest was held on Friday morning upon the body of Jacob Heimbaugh, who was shot by Daniel Woodriff, in this city, on Saturday last. A post mortem examination was made by Dr. Thombs with the following result: The deceased received two wounds caused by pistol balls. The first ball struck the abdomen just above the umbilicus and about one and a half inches to the right, passed directly through the depending lobe of the liver, also cutting the intestines and passing out at the back. The second shot struck the right thigh and lodged against the head of the femur. Death resulted, of course, from the first wound. On account of the necessary absence of the coroner from the city, we were unable to obtain a copy of the verdict. On Friday afternoon Mr. Woodriff was again arrested and brought to town at the instance of the deputy district attorney, Mr. Vollrath, though for what reason does not exactly appear, and another examination was held before Justice Hart, which resulted in Mr. Woodriff being released on the same bail as that given by him at his former examination. In our account of the shooting of Jacob Heimbaugh by Daniel Woodriff, on Saturday last, we stated that Heimbaugh and Woodriff agreed to go outside of the city limits and fight. This is not exactly correct. The truth of the matter is that Heimbaugh told Woodriff, with a good deal of profanity and abuse, that he (Heimbaugh) could whip him (Woodriff) but wouldn't do it in the city, because he (Heimbaugh) didn't want to be fined or put in the calaboose. Woodriff then said that he was going home, and if Heimbaugh followed him out of town it would be his own lookout, or words to that effect.

Heimberger, Minna
Minna Heimberger – Leadville Carbonate Chronicle – March 3, 1919 – Mrs. Minna Heimberger – Mrs. Minna Heimberger of Chicago, widow of the late Dr. David Heimberger who was at one time a leading physician of Leadville, finished a hearty dinner at the home of Mrs. Jessie Sterling, 108 East Tenth street, yesterday, slipped from her chair and died of heart trouble before medical aid could be summoned. Mrs. Heimberger arrived here Sunday last to spend a few weeks at the home of Mrs. Sterling, an old friend and widow of one of the city's prominent early-day lawyers. When she felt ill Tuesday, a doctor was summoned. Her ailment did not appear to be serious, but the physician advised her to return to a lower climate. Mrs. Heimberger accordingly planned to depart this morning for Pueblo. She ate a hearty meal at Mrs. Sterling's home yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock. At 1:35, she exclaimed that she felt suddenly ill. Before she arose from the table, she unexpectedly became limp, slipped from her chair to the floor and died before it was hardly realized that she had become sick. Mrs. Sterling sent messages yesterday afternoon to her two daughters, Miss Rose Heimberger of Pueblo and Mrs. Erma Janowitz of Chicago, widow of the late Edward Janowitz and to her son, who also lives in Chicago. Funeral arrangements will be in charge of the Moynahan and O'Malia Undertaking company. A resident of Leadville for a number of years before removing to Pueblo and later to Chicago a few years ago, Mrs. Heimberger was widely known among present-day residents of the city and since her arrival here Sunday, she had renewed many old acquaintances and friendships, being then apparently in the best health and her usual cheerful spirits. She had intended to spend several weeks here, both to meet her old friends and to attend to business matters connected with real estate she owned in Leadville. Mrs. Heimberger was born in Germany about 60 years ago, came to the United States while a girl, and moved westward with relatives to Colorado. Following her marriage to Dr. David Heimberger, she and her husband came to Leadville in the early eighties from Saguache county. Dr. Heimberger quickly became one of the leading physicians of the booming mining camp and one of its most prominent citizens. He engaged continuously in mining operations, at one time holding about 100 mining claims. The Toledo Avenue Mining company, which, tho it turned out unprofitably, was one of the largest deep mining projects undertaken in the eighties in upper California gulch, was organized and put into active operation, largely thru Dr. Heimberger's activity. He is said to have lost $40,000 or $50,000 in the concern. The doctor and his wife also became owners of many real estate properties, including the frame business building at Harrison avenue, which is the chief remaining holding of the estate. Their home in those days was a model for the times situated in West Fourth street.

Dorothy "Dotty" Mae Flores Hiatt - Colorado Springs Gazette - September 19, 2007 - Dorothy "Dotty" Mae Flores Hiatt passed into eternal life Sunday, September 16, 2007, after a sudden and unexpected ailment. She died peacefully, surrounded by her loving family. She was 87. Along with her twin sister Doris, Dorothy Mae Flores was born December 25, 1919, on the family farm outside West Point in Cuming County, Nebraska, to Boyd and Ida (Prawitz) Flores. After graduating from West Point High School in 1937, she worked at Sak's Drugstore in West Point as a soda jerk, and later became a member of the National Association of Soda Jerks. With the onset of World War II, she moved to Iowa to aid the war effort working at the Sioux City Army Air Base. She followed this service with jobs with Traveler's Insurance in San Francisco and a hospital in Chicago. She fell in love with the Colorado Springs region during a dude ranch vacation and moved here in 1948. While working at McRae Motors she met her future husband, Carl Oren Hiatt. They were married in Pueblo on December 20, 1949, and settled in Colorado Springs, where they raised three children. Dorothy loved camping, rock hunting, and fishing in the Colorado mountains. During her lifetime she traveled with her husband, three children and current Boston Terrier to Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and nearly every fishing spot in Colorado. Dotty was an avid bird watcher and gardener and spent much of her time raising roses and other blooming plants, and her home was always filled with blossoms from her garden. Another lifetime passion was owl, hummingbird, and Boston Terrier collectables. Dorothy was a skilled and gifted homemaker who kept her house immaculate and her family fed, right up to the time she entered the hospital. She cooked the best holiday dinners that any of us have ever tasted. She was especially known for her homemade strawberry ice cream and her secret potato salad recipe. Dorothy loved caring for her family, who have keepsakes of her love in the form of afghans, quilts, and other crafted items. Her hands were never idle. Dorothy was a high-scoring bowler in two different leagues, and also enjoyed crossword and jigsaw puzzles, and playing cards. Despite living in Colorado for over 50 years, she remained a Nebraska farm girl at heart and Cornhuskers fan all her life. Dorothy had been an active member of First Lutheran Church since 1958. She was involved in women's church circle, embroidering baptismal towels, setting up communion, and numerous other volunteer activities. Dorothy is survived by her husband, Carl "Ladd" O. Hiatt., son Ladd E. Hiatt, daughter Cheryl L. Haver and husband Steve, son Gregory S. Hiatt and wife Kathleen; granddaughters Emily M. Ross and Elizabeth L. Haver; grandsons Matthew R. Ross, Geoffrey R. Hiatt, and Galen G. Hiatt; twin sister Doris F. Johnson, brother Gordon Flores, brother Leigh Flores and wife Lois, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Hicklin, Alexander
Alexander "Zan" Hicklin – Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – February 14, 1874 – Alexander Hicklin, one of the pioneers of Southern Colorado, died at six o'clock yesterday morning at his ranch on the Greenhorn.  Mr. Hicklin came to New Mexico in 1849, from thence he went to California and returning therefrom, he in 1860 settled at his late residence on the Greenhorn.  Mr. Hicklin was one of the most widely known citizens in Southern Colorado.  His great generosity, his open handed hospitality and his dry and peculiar humor, rendered him popular with everybody, making the name of Zan. Hicklin a household word in all parts of Colorado and New Mexico.  The deceased had been ill for some time, and his death will be sincerely mourned by many who are indebted to him for acts of kindness.  He was about fifty-five years of age.  Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – February 18, 1874 – A Pioneer Gone.  On Friday, the 13th, inst., Alexander Hicklin, one of the oldest settlers of Southern Colorado, died at his ranch on the Greenhorn, where he resided during the last fourteen years.  From his old friend, Col. J. M. Francisco, we learn the following particulars of his life: Mr. Hicklin was a native of Lafayette county, Missouri, and came to New Mexico with what was known as the "Merchant's Train," in 1846.  He, in company with many others who accompanied the train in various capacities, were mustered into the United States service just previous to Colonel Doniphan's battle at Sacremento.  In this battle he took part, and afterwards returned to Santa Fe where he remained several years.  After about two years residence in California, he came to Colorado, where he settled on the ranch which he owned at the time of his death.  The deceased was married in Taos, New Mexico, to a daughter of Colonel Bent, the first governor of New Mexico, who was killed in the well known Taos rebellion.  Few men could boast of more friends than Alexander Hicklin.  He was generous to a fault, kind and sympathetic to those in trouble, and many a traveler will bear testimony to his open handed hospitality.  There was a knack of story telling and a quaint, original kind of wit about the man that made him a welcome member of many a camp fire party.  Many amusing stories are told of him, but one would have to be present to thoroughly enjoy the point of his jokes.  It was Zan Hicklin alone who could perpetrate them, and we have never yet met a narrator who could give any idea of his curious style.  So one by one our old landmarks pass away, and although the present generation may have more refinement, we doubt very much whether it exceeds in those qualities that make the man. Las Animas Leader – February 20, 1874 – Alexander Hicklin, one of the pioneers of Southern Colorado, died at his ranch about thirty miles south of Pueblo on last Friday morning.  Mr. Hicklin went to New Mexico in 1849; from thence he went to California; and returned to this territory (in) 1860.  He then settled at his late residence on the Greenhorn. Alexander "Zan" Hicklin - Daily Rocky Mountain News - February 25, 1874 - Old Zan - Zan Hicklin, who died down on the Greenhorn a few days ago, was a thorough western character, and was noted for his startling tales of border life. The Santa Fe New Mexican recalls one of his yarns, which is thoroughly characteristic of the man: In '59 Zan entered a saloon in Salt Lake city, and there met a man whom he accosted as "Bob." The room was full of green pilgrims from the east. After the usual salutations Bob asked Zan to take a drink, which invitation Zan declined on the ground that he could not drink with a man who treated another as Bob had him. Bob entreated him to let by-gones be by-gones. "No" said Zan, "I can't do it. When we were down on the Santa Clara, and got lost, and were out of grub till we could hardly crawl, and could find no game, till we came across a squaw with her young one, I managed to kill the little Indian and drag him into camp. You were too far gone to help me. But while I went to get water, you took out your butcher knife, bored a hole in the little Indian's head and sucked out his brains, when you knew that was the only part of an Indian that I liked. No sir, I can't drink with you." And they both walked out of the saloon, leaving as gaping and astonished a crowd as ever listened to a story of border life. In addition to this we clip the following from the Pueblo Chieftain: Steve Smith tells the following good story of Zan Hicklin: It appears that on one occasion several "tenderfeet" just from the states were eating dinner at Zan's rancho. There was a dish of meat on the table, and after all of the party were seated, Zan turned gravely to one of his employes, who it appears did the hunting for the establishment, and asked: "What kind of meat is this?" The reply was "buck." "Ah, yes, I thought so," continued Zan, "squaw ain't good this time of year!" The effect on the new comers may be more readily imagined than described. They didn't eat much of that meat.

Hicklin, Alexander
Alexander Hicklin - Colorado Weekly Chieftain - September 26, 1878 - Tragedy on the Greenhorn - Shooting of Alexander and Thomas Hicklin - Our community was thrown into a state of considerable excitement on Saturday on account of one of those unfortunate tragedies which so often occur in this region growing out of disputed land grants. About noon on the day above mentioned Mr. Dick Randall, special constable, arrived in the city bringing Justice R. L. Phillips, of the Greenhorn, who placed himself in Mr. Randall's custody to answer to the charge of shooting Alexander and Thomas Hicklin, sons of the late Zan Hicklin. Our reporter called at the jail and interviewed 'Squire Phillips, who said that he lives on what is known as the "Nigger Bob" place, on the Greenhorn, just opposite Mr. Calvin Goss' ranch. The place was claimed up to two years ago by Mr. H. F. Schenck, whose right to it 'Squire Phillips purchased. The land is included within the limits of the Hicklin grant, to which no title has yet been issued by the government authorities. 'Squire Phillips settled on the place last year, when the two Hicklin's accompanied by a cousin of their's came almost everyday and threatened him. He left his furniture in the house, becoming frightened, and went to live with a friend of his named Marshall, who resides at the mouth of the Graneros, a short distance off. The Hicklin boys came and carried off all the hay from the place. After that 'Squire Phillips rented a portion of the house to the school board, still leaving his furniture in one of the rooms. After school closed Alexander Hicklin and his wife took possession of the house and lived in it for a short time, two or three weeks, and then left. Phillips gave a friend of his, a Mr. Carpenter, leave to occupy the house, and after Mr. Carpenter went there the Hicklin boys would come every day or two and order him off. After Mr. Carpenter left he locked up the house and Alexander Hicklin broke in a window, went inside and nailed up the doors. About three weeks ago 'Squire Phillips took possession of the place himself. On Friday the Hicklin's sent Mr. Ghastaine to cut the hay on the place on shares. 'Squire Phillips declared his intention to have one half of the hay, when Thomas Hicklin struck him on the side of the head, knocking him down and otherwise abusing him until Mr. Chastaine talked to him and made him ashamed for stricking an old man who is an invalid. After this difficulty 'Squire Phillips warned the Hicklin's not to come back to the ranch again. On Saturday morning they returned, shortly after sunrise, and commenced loading up the hay. Squire Phillips came from the house with a double-barrel shotgun, and saying to the Hicklin's, "I told you not to come here again," and fired both barrels at them. Mr. Dick Randall, who was present when the shooting occurred, says that Alexander Hicklin stood within fifteen or twenty-five feet of 'Squire Phillips and received one of the charges, supposed to be buckshot, in his stomach and bowels. Thomas Hicklin turned to run and received several balls in his side and arm and one in the back of his head. When Mr. Randall left Alexander was able to talk and asked for his wife, but Thomas was speechless and apparently dead. We have since learned that Alexander is dead and Thomas can not recover. 'Squire Phillips, who is a justice of the peace of his precinct, immediately after the shooting appointed Mr. Dick Randall a special constable, gave himself up and came to the city. 'Squire Phillips is a man between forty-five and fifty years of age, very gray and a confirmed invalid from consumption and heart disease. During our reporter's conversation with him yesterday he was obliged to pause frequently to catch his breath. He is a native of Vermont, and has been in Colorado about four years. He was a captain in the army during the war, a very peaceable quiet citizen and much respected by his neighbors. A gentleman who left the scene of the tragedy a short time after it occurred, gives a heart rending account of the scene. The boys were lying on the hillside where the tragedy occurred, Alexander Hicklin's young wife mourning over the dead body of her husband and Mrs. Hicklin, the mother of the boys, distracted with grief trying to render some aid to Thomas, who was at that time insensible. Thomas' recovery is said to be impossible. The unfortunate affair has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood, and both parties have the sympathy of many friends. We have stated the facts just as we obtained them, and have no desire to favor or screen anyone connected with the affair.

Hicklin, Talman
Talman Hicklin - Colorado Daily Chieftain – January 15, 1873 - The Fatal Bullet – Bloody Result of a Trivial Quarrel – On Monday evening last, the 13th inst., at 7 o'clock, Mr. Talman Hicklin, a half brother of Alexander Hicklin, one of the old pioneers, who resides on the Greenhorn, was shot and killed by a chum and fellow workman named Sam Perry. Briefly stated, the causes which led to the fatal tragedy are as follows: Perry had been out herding cattle, and upon returning, walked into the cabin and pitched his saddle down on the floor in a careless manner. In doing so one of the stirrups struck Hicklin, and the latter, not relishing such treatment, spoke roughly to Perry, and warned him to be more careful. One word brought on another, until at last Hicklin, who was a large, powerful man, sprang up and challenged Perry to a fistic encounter. Perry declined this, on the ground that they were unevenly matched, but informed Hicklin that he would fight him with pistols. By way of reply, Hicklin at once rushed for a carbine standing in the corner, while Perry, drawing his revolver, quietly stepped outside the cabin, and waited for his antagonist. In a moment after Hicklin appeared at the door, and both men fired simultaneously, Perry receiving a ball through his hip, which inflicted a shocking wound. At the first fire Hicklin did not seem to be hurt, when Perry fired again with fatal results. Hicklin threw up his arms, staggered off a few paces, sank down upon his knees, fell forward on his face, gasped once or twice, rolled over and was dead. The leaden messenger had performed its work, and a trivial dispute had ended in murder. Up to the present writing we have been unable to learn whether any arrests were made. Colorado Daily Chieftain 1-17-1873 We were informed last night, just as we were going to press, that an officer was sent for Perry, the murderer of Hicklin, but on arriving, found him dead. Colorado Daily Chieftain 1-22-1873 Arrest Of Perry – Contrary to previous reports, the wound received by Sam Perry, the Hicklin murderer, is not dangerous, and he will soon recover. On Monday last, Sheriff Allen set out with the intention of bringing Perry in, but finding the prisoner unable to move, he left him in the charge of a constable, with instructions to report at Pueblo with his charge at the first opportunity. Perry is now in the grip of the law, and will soon bring up in the county jail. Colorado Daily Chieftain 1-31-1873 Mr. Charles Johnson arrived in town yesterday with Perry, the man who was engaged in the dual with Hicklin. Perry has been safely lodged in the county jail; to await an examination of the matter.

He was a captain in the army during the war, a very peaceable quiet citizen and much respected by his neighbors. A gentleman who left the scene of the tragedy a short time after it occurred, gives a heart rending account of the scene. The boys were lying on the hillside where the tragedy occurred, Alexander Hicklin's young wife mourning over the dead body of her husband and Mrs. Hicklin, the mother of the boys, distracted with grief trying to render some aid to Thomas, who was at that time insensible. Thomas' recovery is said to be impossible. The unfortunate affair has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood, and both parties have the sympathy of many friends. We have stated the facts just as we obtained them, and have no desire to favor or screen anyone connected with the affair.

Hilvitz, Samuel
Sam Hilvitz - Pueblo Chieftain - May 12, 2000 - Business Leader Hilvitz Dead - At 94 Sam Hilvitz's life story reads like many others; devoted husband and father, successful businessman, active community and temple member. His family adds the details that make the story his own. "I think his best attribute was his smiling face," said son Art Hilvitz. "He was very loving and his family was really important to him," said granddaughter Heidi Leachman. "My daughter said he always had a little twinkle in his eyes," said daughter-in-law Sandy Hilvitz. Hilvitz, who started the family business in 1932 with a $2.50 potato slicer, died May 10 at the age of 94. He had broken a hip and undergone surgery, and complications had set in, said Art Hilvitz. Services will be at 11 a.m. Sunday at T.G. McCarthy Funeral Home, followed by interment at Roselawn Cemetery. Gathered around the table at the home Sam and Pauline Hilvitz shared for many years, Mrs. Hilvitz and the couple's three sons, Harvey, Art and Phil, and their wives and children retold favorite stories about the business founded on that potato slicer, lots of hard work and ingenuity; about the hole in the wall between their Boston Food Products building and Steve Monack's neighboring Banquet bakery that allowed the Hilvitzes to share Monack's hot water and satisfy health department regulations; about the many, many tamales Mrs. Hilvitz rolled and the many, many potatoes the couple peeled before automated equipment. "He bought a hand potato chip slicer and showed it to me with a silly grin on his face," Mrs. Hilvitz said. "It had cost $2.50, and I thought that $2.50 could feed us for about two weeks, but I surprised him by saying, 'When do you want to start:' "We borrowed $100 and bought a six-burner stove. We started making tamales in the beginning and used to sell them to street vendors for 30 cents a dozen, and they got 5 cents apiece." The couple added potato chips to their product line and in 1946 moved their business from Union Avenue to South Main Street. Their sons joined them, and Hilvitz eventually turned over the reins to them. But he stayed active as a consultant for the Small Business Administration's Service Corps of Retired Executives, and the organization honored him for 25 years of service when he was 90 years old. In 1973, Hilvitz received the Small Businessman of the Year award for the southeast region from the Small Business Administration. "He was active in the business community," said Harvey Hilvitz. "He was in Rotary, in SCORE, the Chamber of Commerce, Goodwill. He was an avid golfer and bowler." Hilvitz was a member of Temple Emanuel and served on its board of directors. He and Mrs. Hilvitz were married for nearly 68 years. "Most of all," said Heidi Leachman, "he loved Grandma. He'd do anything for her. He said, 'Whatever Grandma wants, Grandma gets.'" Samuel Hilvitz - Pueblo Chieftain - May 13, 2000 - Samuel Hilvitz, lifetime Pueblo resident and prominent Pueblo businessman, passed away May 10, 2000. Mr. Hilvitz and his wife of 68 years, Pauline Stein Hilvitz, founded Boston Food Products in September 1932 and remained active in management until 1980.

Hinsdale, George A.
George A. Hinsdale - Colorado Daily Chieftain - January 16, 1874 - George A. Hinsdale - Thursday, all day long, was one of sadness, a deep shade of gloom seemed to have settled over our fair city. Every noise was hushed and only a whisper was heard as the information came to the public, Governor Hinsdale is dead. Immediately after the last term of the district court, he was taken with a slight bilious attack of which but little attention, generally, was taken. It however grew worse till finally he was prostrated with the typhoid fever; he lost all consciousness on Wednesday before his death. In the evening of the same day, he made a rally and recognized the friends about him, especially his wife. He was doubtless then in a dying condition but lingered, apparently a great sufferer, till eleven o'clock on Thursday morning, when his spirit winged its way to the maker who gave it. During the day, and in fact from early in the morning, business in the city seemed to be generally suspended. It was a shock to the entire community, a blow hard to bear, that none expected. Every one that knew him, loved him. In society he was a highly honored member. In the social circle, one never forgotten, and when absent, always missed. He was in the front rank of every good work, every public charity found him, in every work of reform and moral advancement, he was a leader. He was a friend of the poor and always extended his aid, prompted by a large heart overflowing with charity to the oppressed. Services will commence this afternoon at half past one o'clock, at the residence of the deceased, on Fourth street, after which the funeral procession will be formed as follows:(Order of Services). The funeral procession when formed will proceed from Fourth street up Santa Fe avenue to St. Peter's Episcopal church, where the rites of that church will be administered by the Rev. Mr. Lonenson, pastor of St. Paul's church, Colorado Springs. Thence the procession will move to the Masonic cemetery, where burial service of the Protestant Episcopal church will be read by Rev. Mr. Lonenson, and the last solemn rites concluded. It is hoped that our business men and citizens will unite in paying our last respects to one whose life and name has become a part of the history of Pueblo, and Southern Colorado. Las Animas Leader – January 23, 1874 – Death of a Prominent Citizen – Geo. A. Hinsdale, commonly known as Governor Hinsdale, died at his home, in Pueblo, Thursday, after an illness of only two or three days.  Mr. Hinsdale had long been one of the most prominent and best known men in the territory, and he had been, too, a man of good reports, alike for honesty and integrity, and culture and ability.  He was born in Hinesburg, Vermont, in 1829.  At the age of eight he went with his parents to Michigan, and was educated at the great university of that state, at Ann Arbor.  In his early youth he went to Kentucky, where he spent several years in the pursuit of the business of civil engineering, and found a wife in the person of a relative of Mr. Sebastian, at one time United States senator from Arkansas.  Mr. Hinsdale first came to this territory in 1861 in search of relief from the asthma.  He soon commenced the practice of law, and followed it till the time of his death with much success.  He was three times elected to the territorial council, the first time in 1865 from Costilla county; and in 1870 he was chosen president of that body.  At the time, about 1866, that Colorado's admission as a state was considered so certain that state officers were chosen by the people and United States senators by the first legislature of the prospective state, Mr. Hinsdale was chosen lieutenant governor, hence the title by which he was afterwards known.  He leaves two children, a son about seventeen years old, and a daughter of seven.  He was buried yesterday afternoon with Masonic honors. – [Denver World, 17th.]  On the same subject, the (Pueblo) Chieftain says: "It was a shock to the entire community, a blow hard to bear, that none expected.  Every one that knew him, loved him.  In society he was a highly honored member.  In the social circle, one never forgotten, and when absent, always missed.  He was a friend of the poor and always extended his aid, prompted by a large heart overflowing with charity, to the oppressed." Governor George A. Hinsdale - Denver Mirror - January 25, 1874 - The People (Pueblo newspaper) comes with its column rules inverted, and its pages are black with mourning for the late Gov. Geo. A. Hinsdale. We quote from a review of his life, dating from 1860, when he joined the Pike's Peak brigade, in hopes of ameliorating the asthma, from which he had long suffered: As was the custom, he outfitted with an ox team and wagon, and with his brave and devoted wife, crossed the Plains and became one of the army of pioneers in this new and strange land. His asthma left him almost entirely, soon after he reached the mountains, and only seldom returned in brief attacks during his life in Colorado. He first engaged in mining in California Gulch, and in the fall of 1860 come down to Canon City, which had just been laid out as a wintering town for miners, built one of the first dwellings, and during that winter he, with the writer, assisted in framing a code of laws and organizing the first peoples' court for the government of that district. In 1863 he settled in Pueblo, when there were scarcely half a dozen families living here in the rudest of huts. In 1864 he moved to San Luis, in Costilla county, where he lived nearly two years, during which time he acquired a thorough knowledge of the Spanish language, and in the summer of 1866 he moved back to Pueblo, where he has ever since resided, and engaged in the practice of law. His Official Record - At the election upon the adoption of the State constitution in 1865, Mr. Hinsdale was elected Lieutenant Governor, being the only Democrat elected on the State ticket. In 1868 he was elected a member of the Territorial Council, and at the session of 1870 was chosen President of that body. He was a member of the first Board of Trustees of the town of Pueblo after its incorporation, and at the time of his death was president of the city school board and county attorney of Pueblo County. He had filled numerous offices of public trust and honor, and had ever been identified with the history and growth of Southern Colorado. In politics he was always a Democrat of the firmest type, and as one of the leaders of the party of Colorado, he had ever held the respect of his political opponents by his ability no less than his sincerity, fidelity and conscientious integrity. Other Honorable Trusts - As a lawyer he was a profound thinker, forcible in the logic of argument, zealous in the interest of his client, and one of the most successful criminal lawyers of this judicial district. Courteous to his brethren, respectful to the court, and genial in his whole nature he was beloved by the bench and the bar. As a scholar he had few equals in the Territory, and was one of the most forcible and graceful writers for the press. When the Chieftain, as the first newspaper in Southern Colorado, was started in Pueblo, Mr. Hinsdale became one of its editors, and for over two years assisted in contributing gratuitous services to this means of promoting the development of Southern Colorado. He was afterward one of the leading organizers of the Pueblo Printing Co., publishers of the People, and until about one year ago was one of the editors of this paper. His terse and vigorous English was notable for the finished style of the essayist, and the newspaper literature of Pueblo for many of its worthiest pages is indebted to his ready pen. He was president of the Public Library Association of Pueblo, and took active interest in fostering this, one of the most creditable institutions of our young city. Mr. Hinsdale was an attendant of the Protestant Episcopal Church. From the time St. Peter's church was erected as the first church built in Pueblo, he was one of its vestrymen to the time of his death. The disease which caused his death was cerebro-spinal meningitis. The funeral procession was the largest and its ceremonies more impressive than ever before witnessed in Southern Colorado.

Hisey, Harry F.
Harry F. Hisey – Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – September 10, 1875 – Harry F. Hisey, who has for a few months past been learning the printing trade in the Chieftain office, died at the residence of his father in this city on Wednesday morning last, of diphtheria, and will be buried this morning. Harry was a youth of considerable talent, showed remarkable aptitude in learning everything connected with the trade which he had adopted, and but for his untimely death might have been a useful member of society and an honored member of the craft. His bereaved parents have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Colorado Daily Chieftain September 11, 1875 - The funeral of Harry Hisey took place Friday morning at ten o'clock, from the family residence on Tenth street. Six of his young friends acted as pall bearers. Rev. Mr. Hynes, of Illinois, performed the funeral service according to the rites of the Presbyterian religion, of which church he was a regular attendant. The deceased appeared to realize fully from the commencement of his sickness that he was not going to recover, and was perfectly resigned to die, placing his trust in the Savior with a strong faith rarely found developed in one so young. To his afflicted parents, young sisters and brother, Harry's death is a sad affliction, but it is borne by them with a Christian fortitude worthy of commendation. They have the sympathy of their many friends in their present affliction, likewise that of the Chieftain corps, who although Harry was the youngest member and his connection with it short – had learned to esteem him for his good qualities and manly conduct. Peace to his ashes and rest to his soul.

Hobson is Dead – Life Work of a prominent Puebloan Ended – Another Old Resident Gone - A Public Spirited Citizen and a Well Known Civil Engineer Passes Peacefully Away at his Home Yesterday Morning - A Sketch of His Honorable Career Here and Elsewhere - Funeral Services Saturday - Captain William P. Hobson died at 11:45 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 503 east Eleventh Street at the age of 60 years. He was born in Henry county, Indiana, September 16, 1834, and came to Colorado in 1878 and had made Pueblo his home ever since. Early in life he moved to Missouri locating in Andrew County. He was married at Savannah, Mo., September 23, 1855, to Miss Sarah S. Hale. Captain Hobson had an enviable war record, enlisting in G Company of the Twenty-Seventh Infantry regiment of Missouri and serving throughout the war. He was commissioned captain early in the service and was in the same company when the war closed and was mustered out in 1866. He contracted a complicated stomach trouble during the war and that was the cause of his death. Since June 1893 he had been confined to his home. He was a member of Upton post No. 8, Grand Army of the Republic, and the funeral which will be from the house Saturday at 10 a.m., will be under its auspices. The services will be conducted by Rev. Thomas Stephenson at the Grand Avenue Baptist church. During his residence in Colorado he had followed his profession, that of a civil engineer, and had conducted some of the most substantial improvements in the county. Hundreds of acres of land were made susceptible of cultivation by the building of the ditch which was projected by him. The ditch was taken out of the Fountain. Several other large ditches were built by him in the Arkansas valley and a number of reservoirs were projected. Captain Hobson had a plan for opening up the arid land which if it had been carried out would have been worth millions to the state. He was a public spirited citizen and when actively engaged in business gave both his time and money to anything for the furtherance of Pueblo's interests. His labors did a great deal of good and many of the present improvements in the city are due as much to his work as to anything else. During the real estate excitement in 1889 he took an active part and his lands northeast of the city were put in the market as an addition and the Fountain Lake hotel built in the center of the addition of that name. Mrs. Hobson and several sons and daughters survive him but unfortunately all of them were not with him at the time of his death. One daughter lives in Trinidad and two of his sons are in the east. Pueblo Daily Chieftain - Captain William P. Hobson, May 26, 1895 remains were quietly laid to rest in the North side cemetery yesterday morning beside those of his mother, who died some years ago.

At the conclusion of the ceremony Upton post No. 8 of the G.A.R. took charge and the procession wended its way to the cemetery, where the usual G. A. R. burial was had, concluding with the sounding of "taps" by the bugler. Judge Andrew Royal, who served in Captain Hobson's company during the war made a few well chosen eulogistic remarks on his dead comrade. The pall-bearers were H. M. Morse, I. W. Stanton, I.V. Stamm, George Willauer, Charles W. Bowman and George Bell.

Hoel, Maggie
Maggie Hoel – Durango Democrat – December 25, 1900 – Pueblo Kidnapping – Eighteen-Year Old Girl Mysteriously Disappears – Motive Not Yet Learned – Richly Dressed Lady Seen in Vicinity – Character of Girl Precludes Elopement Theory – Pueblo, Colo., Dec. 24 – Work of the police today failed to throw any light upon the mysterious disappearance of Maggie Hoel, who yesterday left or was taken from the home of her uncle, Charles Beaty, a short distance west of this city. It has, however, been learned that some time yesterday morning a carriage drawn by white horses was in the vicinity and a richly dressed lady got out of it and seemed to be searching for something. It has been impossible thus far to find such a carriage. The girl, who is eighteen years old, had a guardian in Missouri, and a young man here was her lover. The latter is grief-stricken and does all he can to aid in solving the mystery. The simple and innocent character of the girl seems to preclude the idea of elopement and all circumstances seem to indicate kidnapping, but for what motive, cannot yet be learned. Durango Democrat – December 26, 1900 – The Hoel Mystery – Hunting For the Lady Who Called in the Carriage – Young Lady Still Missing – Richly Dressed Lady in Carriage Probably Implicated – Various Theories Are Advanced – No Clue as to Her Whereabouts – Pueblo, Colo., Dec. 25 – Maggie Hoel, who disappeared mysteriously three days ago, is still missing, and there are no clues of her whereabouts. The impression is growing that she left of her own accord; one theory is she fled to avoid fulfilling a marriage engagement set for two or three months ahead; another is that she has fallen into the hands of a proprietress of a bad house; in either case however, it does not seem that she would have gone without hat or wraps. There is a probability that the unknown well-dressed woman who was in that vicinity in a coach drawn by white horses the morning previous to her disappearance had some connection with the mystery, though the strange woman gave sharp and repelling replies to Miss Hoel when the girl inquired if she could assist her. The house is in a solitary place in the river bottoms, surrounded by thickets, and presence of a fine coach and richly dressed woman is something unusual. Aspen Tribune – February 28, 1901 – The body of Miss Maggie Hoel, who mysteriously disappeared from her home near Pueblo, on December 23, has been found in the Arkansas River five miles below where her relatives lived. Her right arm was shattered, and it is thought she was outraged, murdered and the body thrown in the river. Only recently her hat and other articles of wearing apparel were found on the bank of the river, near the Beatty home. The case is creating great excitement in Pueblo and vicinity. A searching investigation will be made into the causes leading to her death. Aspen Weekly Times – March 9, 1901 – No Arrests Made – A recent dispatch from Pueblo concerning the disappearance of Miss Maggie Hoel, is as follows: Though the coroner's jury, which investigated the mysterious disappearance of Maggie Hoel from her home December 23, last, and the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body day before yesterday, has brought in its verdict, the officers have as yet arrested no one who is even suspected of having even driven the girl to her death or murdered her. Fully twenty witnesses were heard by the jury today, and late this afternoon it brought in the following verdict: "We, the jury, find from the evidence adduced that Maggie Hoel came to her death at the hands of some party or parties unknown." Shortly after the disappearance of the girl was first reported the police and the local newspapers vied with each other to see which one could first locate her or explain why she left home. All kinds of stories were published, and an interesting feature of the inquest was the testimony of several newspaper men, who were put on the stand to tell what they really knew of the circumstances of her disappearance. It was learned that their stories were in a large measure fiction, but derived from sources which they considered authentic. The police are particularly interested in one character spoken of by Mrs. Charles Beaty, a sister of the murdered girl. This character is a woman dressed in black, who is said to have been seen in the neighborhood of the Beaty residence the day of Maggie Hoel's disappearance. It is also alleged that James Stout, an employe of Baker's greenhouse, who frequently visited the girl, was married and had promised to secure a divorce in order that he might marry Maggie Hoel. Some think that this mysterious character might have been Stout's wife, and that she came here from Salt Lake on hearing of her husband's love for the girl and in a fit of jealousy killed the rival of her affection. Aspen Tribune – March 7, 1901 – A dispatch from the same source of the present mouth (?), reads as follows: Developments in the famous Maggie Hoel murder mystery today show that Sheriff Beaman is in receipt of a letter which states that the writer can furnish him with information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the murderer. News that the letter had been received was made public today, although the letter had been in the sheriff's possession for several days. He is in Denver tonight and when communicated with by telephone he refused to divulge the name of the author of the letter. Whether it is merely a fake or a clew, remains to be seen. Every means of learning the identity of the author of the awful crime will be exhausted by the police before the search is abandoned. New Castle Nonpareil – March 6, 1901 – The coroner's jury which investigated the mysterious disappearance of Maggie Hoel from her home at Pueblo, December 23rd last, and the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body, brought in the following verdict: "We, the jury, find from the evidence adduced that Maggie Hoel came to her death at the hands of some party or parties unknown."

Holbrook, Henry Randolph
Henry Randolph Holbrook – Pueblo Chieftain – December 22, 1907 – Died, Saturday, December 21, 1907, Henry Randolph Holbrook, age 69 years. The remains are at McCarthy's. The funeral will be held from the First Presbyterian church Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. J. L. Weaver will conduct the services. Interment will be in the family lot in Roselawn. Pueblo Chieftain – December 22, 1907 – Colonel H. R. Holbrook, Pioneer and Capitalist Joins Great Majority – Aged Man Fails to Recover From a Stroke of Paralysis – Was One of Pueblo's Foremost Citizens and Did Much For Upbuilding of the West – Col. Henry Randolph Holbrook, pioneer settler and financier, died at St. Mary's hospital yesterday afternoon at 2:15 age 69 years. Death resulted from a stroke of paralysis with which he was seized at an early hour last Monday morning and from which he failed to rally. The only living relative whom he appeared to cherish, Miss Edith M. Holbrook-Latham, a niece and his adopted daughter, was at his bedside when the end came, having made a record-breaking trip from the east in order to gratify his last wish that she might be with him until the last. Col. Holbrook was a director of the Mercantile National bank, president and owner of the Lagunda canal, the largest irrigation system in this section of the west, and owner of much valuable city property. He was associated in a business way with the late General Reno, General Palmer of Colorado Springs, Judge Thatcher and many others, all of whom were great factors in the upbuilding of the state. The funeral has been set for next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the services will be held in the First Presbyterian church, Rev. Weaver officiating. Col. Holbrook was born at Columbia, Tolland county, Mass. [Connecticut], sixty-nine years ago, November 22. His parents were of old New England stock and his relatives held high positions in a military way and in affairs of state during the Revolution, the Mexican war and the War of 1812. He received the best school education obtainable in those days and at an early age took up school teaching as a means of livelihood. While he taught school but a short time he made valuable use of his time and made a thorough study of mathematics being considered a civil engineer of rare ability, practically without instruction. He then left for the west where history was beginning to shape itself and where every move of forces meant a change in the map of civilization. It was while he was struggling for life in the western wilds that he penned the following quotation to his family in the east which since has become famous: "Fortune as yet has not smiled upon me, but I am expecting her to laugh outright, shortly." Served Through the Civil War. He served through the Civil war with great credit to himself, being promoted rapidly and as a result of his rapid rise came into close touch with Generals Reno and Palmer. A company of negro soldiers which had been assigned him as an escort won his great admiration and one of the few photographs in which he ever consented to appear was posed in their midst. At the conclusion of the war he again headed westward where his services as an engineer were even more in demand. He was one of the founders of Holbrook, Arizona, which in late years has prospered and which will forever bear his name. From there he went to Denver where he remained for some little time, but paid Pueblo the compliment of his investments, declaring that this city had by far the greater natural advantages and that it would eventually be the greatest city in the state and the first manufacturing city between the Missouri river and the coast. He became known at once, not only for his ability as a practical civil engineer but as one who cared to undertake and push to successful conclusions institutions of great magnitude, all of which survived the crisis of 1892-93. Is Founder of Bank. He was a founder of the American National bank which during the panic became hard pushed for money. It became a question as to whether the depositors or the stockholders should loose and Holbrook insisted on protecting the depositors. The bank remained solvent at the cost to the stockholders of twice the total value of their stock and later consolidated with the Stockgrowers' National to make the present Mercantile National bank. In Pueblo and throughout the country he will be remembered in an endearing manner by hundreds of warm friends to whom his eccentricities of character formed one of his strongest forts. His ideals were high, his tastes of the simplest and his loyalty to the west knew practically no bounds. He was always present at popular meetings where moral standing and sterling worth were requisites and was always a worthy advocate of justice. Because of modesty he never spoke of the canal other than as "The Lagunda," although it has become known throughout the country as the "Holbrook canal," while the surrounding plains for miles have long been called by no name other than the Holbrook country. His simplicity of nature often was the cause of remarks and he always referred to his own private holdings as our land or our canal, forgetting at all times the use of the first person singular in his conversation. Many of his former business associates in the upbuilding of the city, among whom are Dr. Thoombs, Judge Thatcher, Col. McDonnell and Governor Eaton, already have crossed the great divide and but few of the really early settlers still remain. Miss Latham Summoned. He is survived by three sisters and a brother who are scattered throughout the east and of whom has heard or seen little since his boyhood. He never married. One sister, Nellie E. Holbrook, upon her death, was brought to Pueblo fourteen years ago and interred in Roselawn. He has several nephews and one niece, Miss Latham, whom he adopted as his own daughter some time ago. They have been practically inseparable even since Miss Latham was a child and she made her home with him here while not attending school or traveling. Miss Latham is a graduate of the University of Chicago and a student of several European colleges. She has received a really liberal education, having encircled the globe, all of which Colonel Holbrook always mentioned with the greatest pride. He was never contented while not in the presence of his daughter-niece and as a last request ordered that she be summoned by wire when he realized that he had not long to live. Miss Latham reached Pueblo Friday, one day before he passed away and comforted him during his last hours. She had intended to return to Pueblo upon the recovery of her health which had been poor and Colonel Holbrook had declared that he would dispose of all his business interests and that they would live quietly in this city. He was found last Monday morning, however, lying upon the floor of his office, Main and Sixth streets, in an unconscious condition. It is not known how long he had suffered from the stroke before he was found and a physician who was summoned ordered his removal to St. Mary's hospital. He failed to regain consciousness for several days and it was realized that he was approaching the end. Pueblo Chieftain – December 22, 1907 – Col. Holbrook Well Known in Rocky Ford – Special to the Chieftain – Rocky Ford, Dec. 21 – Colonel Holbrook, whose death occurred in Pueblo today, is widely known here for his large land and ditch interests. It was through his enterprise in building the Holbrook canal north of the Arkansas River that made it possible to irrigate thousands of acres of land and made homes for hundreds of people who have prospered under the Holbrook ditch. W. N. Randall, who met his death by the accidental discharge of a revolver early in September, was a nephew of Mr. Holbrook. Mrs. W. N. Randall and G. P. Randall were with their uncle when he died. The Norwich Bulletin (Norwich, Connecticut), December 24, 1907 – Obituary – Henry R. Holbrook – The Bulletin's Columbia correspondent writes: News of the death of Henry R. Holbrook of Pueblo, Colorado, was received in Columbia Saturday afternoon. He was found in an unconscious condition in his room at 11:30 Monday. A physician was called and it was found that he was suffering from a stroke of paralysis and was in a serious condition. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital, but did not regain consciousness and died on Saturday. A Self-Made Man – Henry Randolph Holbrook was born in Columbia November 22, 1838, the son of Nathan K. and Jane Porter Holbrook. He received his early education in the district schools of his native town, and while yet in his teens, was employed as a teacher in the district schools in that vicinity. At 19 he left his home to battle with the world; for some time he was engaged in selling maps, a popular as well as profitable employment at that period, traveling through Connecticut, Massachusetts and other states. In the meantime he attended Monson academy where he studied surveying. His travels brought him eventually to Missouri where for a short period he was engaged in agricultural pursuits and afterward in surveying. When the civil war broke out in 1861 he left Missouri and came back to his old home in Columbia, where he remained about a year. During this time he attended a term of "Select School," paying special attention to higher mathematics and geology. Surveyed for Union Pacific – In 1862 he joined a party of civil engineers and surveyors, under General Palmer of New York, engaged in the survey of the Union Pacific railroad. The task was not an easy one – the west of that period was not the west of today. The party had to fight its way, the work being often obstructed by Indians and bushwhackers. At times an escort of soldiers was necessary to protect them in their work. There were thousands of buffalo on the plains, and in writing to a friend, Mr. Holbrook spoke of having buffalo meat and potatoes for breakfast, dinner and supper. From this time he engaged in civil engineering, and became one of the most skilful (skillful) engineers in the west, surveying some of the most difficult routes and constructing bridges over what seemed almost impossible places. Work in Mexico – He also surveyed a railway line in Mexico. The lines he surveyed and the bridges he planned, stand as monuments to his ability and achievements as an engineer. His work as an engineer afforded him an excellent opportunity to judge of the future, in regard to various places on the lines which he surveyed and his interests eventually centered around Pueblo, which he believed was destined to become a city of importance. He made Pueblo his home and grew up with the city, and saw his hopes realized, and at the time of his death was one of the oldest, foremost as wealthiest of its citizens, and was called the "Pueblo Pioneer." Gift of Land – He was the owner of a large foundry in Pueblo, and a director of the Mercantile National bank of that city. Several years ago he presented the city a $10,000 tract of land for a hospital site. His last great engineering work was the construction of Laguna canal, better known as the Holbrook ditch, for irrigation purposes. This canal is 20 feet wide on the bottom, and has a depth of seven feet, is 25 miles long. Commencing at the north bank of the Arkansas River (near Catlin, Colorado) and running in a northwesterly direction through Otero County, covering a large area between the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and the Missouri Pacific railway. Cost $100,000 – This was his own enterprise which he successfully planned and carried out at an expense of one hundred thousand dollars. His nephew, the late William N. Randall of Rocky Ford, Colorado was associated with him in the construction and management of the canal. But few men starting out in life as he did accomplished as much for the general good and upbuilding of the country. Pueblo will miss him, but the work he accomplished in the west will perpetuate his memory. He is survived by a brother and three sisters, Daniel Holbrook and Mrs. John Randall of Columbia, Mrs. Hollis Avery of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Alfred W. Hutchinson of Gilead. Rocky Ford Tribune, Rocky Ford, Colorado, December 27, 1907 – Death of a Pioneer – Man Who Promoted the Holbrook Canal and Helped to Develop the Valley Passes to His Reward – Col. Henry Randolph Holbrook, one of the pioneers of the Arkansas Valley and prominently identified with the development of irrigation in this section, died Saturday afternoon at St. Mary's hospital in Pueblo. On the Monday previous he suffered a stroke of apoplexy and he never entirely recovered consciousness. At the time of his death there were with him his niece, Miss Ethel Holbrook Latham, and G. P. Randall, of this city, who was Mr. Holbrook's nephew. Mr. Holbrook was sixty-nine years old last month and for thirty years had been a resident of Pueblo. He was born in Columbia, Conn., and was of English extraction. Raised on a typical New England farm, he early turned his talents to civil engineering, and in the days of the civil war came west to Missouri, finding employment with the Santa Fe railroad. To him was given the important duty of locating the route for the new railroad which was at that time projecting its lines westward and in this capacity he came to Colorado. It was while in the employ of the Santa Fe that he foresaw the wonderful agricultural possibilities of the valley and conceived the idea of organizing a company to build an irrigation ditch on the north side of the river. Thus the germ of the great Lake canal, commonly known as the Holbrook, which irrigates a large tract of land north of here, had its being. After he completed his work with the Santa Fe he associated with him in his project his nephew, the late William N. Randall, and began the construction of the ditch. This canal has its headgate a short distance this side of Manzanola and waters thousands of acres. In speaking of his death, Sunday's Star-Journal devotes over two columns to its account, from which we make extracts as follows: "Mr. Holbrook was extremely charitable, although his benefactions were given in a quiet and unobtrusive manner, which was characteristic of the man, as he was reticent and silent to a degree, although warm hearted and generous. Many of the local charities, notably the Pueblo hospital, will miss his kindly aid, and he was never appealed to in behalf of a worthy object but what he gave, and gave freely. His early education had not been received at any great colleges, but rather in the hard school of experience, but he was naturally studious and was an unusually well read and cultured man. In appearance he was of medium build, rugged and sturdy, and showed the healthy effects of his long outdoor life. His hair was almost white, and he wore a heavy mustache, which set off his strong face in admirable fashion. He was not affiliated with any secret society, but he was a member of the Pueblo club and of the State Engineering society, which has its headquarters in Denver. A rather sad feature of the last few months of his life was the untimely death of his favorite nephew, the young man whom he had brought to the west to superintend the great canal. Last September, William Randall, this nephew, a resident of Rocky Ford, when just about to go for a journey, accidentally shot and killed himself. This tragedy bore heavily on Mr. Holbrook's mind, as he was intensely fond of his nephew, and some of his friends state that it may be regarded as the remote cause of his recent seizure. Mr. Holbrook comes from a remarkably long-lived family, his father having died some years ago at an advanced age, and his mother more recently, at over 90 years. The old Holbrook homestead at Columbia, Conn., just on the outskirts of the city of Hartford, is still in the hands of the Holbrook family, and there his father and mother lived and died, and there a brother and sister, Mrs. Mary Randall, mother of the lately deceased nephew, still make their home. Mr. Holbrook also leaves another sister, who resides with her husband on a farm near Dayton, Ohio. He is survived also by a niece, Miss Edith Latham, of this city, with whose family Mr. Holbrook formerly boarded. Miss Latham was recalled from Liberty, N. Y., by the news of her uncle's serious condition, and arrived in this city but a few days ago. She is somewhat delicate and was at the sanitarium of Dr. Lomis, the famous specialist, in the New York town. He also leaves a nephew, Gelon Randall, a brother of William Randall, who is a business man at Rocky Ford. His parents were among the founders of Harvard and Yale colleges, and it has always been Mr. Holbrook's intention to see that his adopted daughter received the proper education. Many tales are told of Mr. Holbrook's generosity at all times and his fair dealing in business. When he sold some land recently, he could have procured $15 per acre more than he actually received, but declined the advanced price, stating that the sum for which he sold it was all that the land was worth. His life was peculiarly clean and open, and the taint of scandal never so much as touched him during his long and varied career. While he had few close friends, these were staunch, and his death is probably more sincerely regretted than that of any one who has departed this life in this city in a long time. Colonel Holbrook, while not a member of any denomination, took for his creed the golden rule, and those who have known him longest refer to his unblemished character and stainless reputation as the best evidence that he treated others as he would have them treat him."

Western Newspaper Union News Service - Grand Junction. - Three persons were killed and fourteen others seriously injured when a twenty-ton boulder crashed 100 feet into the day coach and smoker of westbound passenger train No. 3, eighteen miles east of this city. The heavy missile is believed to have been loosened from the cliff by frost. It was preceded by a smaller boulder which struck the coupling between the tender and smoker, parting the train. Automatic air brakes brought the separated section to a stop. A moment later the massive rock was catapulted upon the smoker and day coach. The two cars, despite their all-steel construction, were crushed to bits. The dead: H. R. Hollingsbery, Pueblo, traveling salesman; Thomas C. Linkens, Grand Junction, branch manager Ridenour Baker Grocery Company; Harry Braddock, Chicago. The seriously injured: Ralph Arthur Cox, marine recruit, Boulder, en route to San Francisco, head gashed, left leg crushed, rib fractured, hands bruised; Adna Bratingham, Alliance, Ohio, badly bruised and nervous shock; Emmett Abbott, Sacramento, left ear torn off, severe bruises; Mrs. Stella Maynard, Fruita, Colo., forehead gashed; Audrey Harrington, her daughter, scalp lacerated; W.

Holly, Hiram S.
Captain Hiram S. Holly - Pueblo Chieftain - May 28, 1895 - Captain Hiram S. Holly of Otero County, who died in this city early yesterday morning as announced in yesterday's Chieftain was one of the most prominent stockmen in Colorado in the paling day of the cattle business. His great "SS" ranch at Holly in Bent County brought him $875,000 when he sold it, and at the time of his death he was still largely interested in cattle, being one of the heaviest owners in the Columbia Company. He was born in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, July 13, 1843, where he attended school and worked on a farm until he was 15 years of age.  In the 28th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry he was discharged and went to New York City where he remained a short time.  At the end of which he was employed in the quartermasters department for one year. After a short visit home, he came to Colorado.  He left the cars at St. Joseph, Missouri, then the terminus of railroads in the west and came by boat to Nebraska City and then with the ox teams up the Platte River Valley. He found employment in Colorado at North Empire as engineer in a quartz mill.  For six months he took charge of it for others and then ran it for himself.  During this time he had men out prospecting.  In 1868, he started for Arizona with the intention of mining, but remained only a brief time as the Indians were very troublesome. He then went to Gilpin County and was mining in Nevada Gulch until 1870 when he went to Black Hawk to continue mining and milling which he did until the spring of 1871.  He then abandoned this business and sought other fields of employment. Unable to find in Colorado such a herd as he wanted, he went to Texas and bought a bunch of 1300 head of mixed cattle and drove them to his "SS" Ranch which had a frontage of 30 miles on the Arkansas and the same of Sand Creek. In 1881 his herd numbered not far from 15,000. After selling his "SS" Ranch Capt. Holly removed to that part of Bent County that is now Otero and located some 6 miles east of Rocky Ford, where his home continued to be until his death.  He came to Pueblo a short time since for medical waters and treatment for stomach troubles which caused his death. The funeral will occur at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the First Methodist Church under the auspices of the Masons, of which body he was a member.  His family consisting of Mrs. Holly, 3 sons and 3 daughters will all be present. One of his sons was attending the state university at Boulder and the others were at his home near La Junta.  Quite a large number are expected from La Junta to attend the funeral.  Charles A. Reynolds, treasurer of Otero County, was in the city yesterday making the arrangements for the funeral.

Holman, Helen
Helen Holman - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - September 13, 1984 - Toole 'Confesses' in Pueblo Area Murder - Ottis Toole has said he murdered a woman near Pueblo in 1974, the same year he says he killed a Colorado Springs massage-parlor operator, authorities said Wednesday. Pueblo District Attorney Gus Sandstrom said he is skeptical of the "confession" and has decided not to file charges against Toole. No one has ever been charged in the death. Toole is an admitted mass murderer who is in custody in Jacksonville, Fla. Meanwhile, officials in Oklahoma, where the woman's body was found, are now studying the evidence to determine whether they have a criminal case. Pueblo Sheriff's Detective Joe Antonio, who heads the major-crimes team, said Toole first confessed in November to killing Helen Holman of Trinidad. He repeated his story in January and February, when Antonio and another officer reinterviewed him, Antonio said. The 31-year-old woman was en route with her husband in separate vehicles from Trinidad to Pueblo when she disappeared on Oct. 21, 1974. Her car was found at a rest stop off Interstate 25, 16 miles south of Pueblo. On Oct. 29, her body, with three bullet wounds to the head, was found in a field off U. S. 287, just across the Oklahoma state line. Antonio and Sandstrom said Toole, who also has confessed to the Sept. 19, 1974, murder of Colorado Springs massage-parlor owner Sun Ok Cousin, for which Park Estep has been imprisoned, had some of the details on the Pueblo-area slaying right. But "there were inconsistencies in his story," Antonio said. Antonio said Toole told him he abducted the woman from a rest stop or campground. He also was able to accurately describe the make of car she drove, the type of bullets (.38 caliber) and the area of the body into which the bullets were fired, her hair color and approximate age. "But he was way off on the roads he said he took to Oklahoma and the time it took to get there," Antonio said. "He said the scenery consisted of plateaus and made no mention of mountains. He seemed to know something about Denver, describing the gold-tipped capitol dome. "But he said he was living in California at the time and our investigation showed he was staying with his mother in Jacksonville. "He had a vague description of clothing that was not useful." On the basis of the information authorities had, Sandstrom said he did not believe he had a case that would hold up in court. "I am skeptical that he did this," Sandstrom said. "In my opinion he gave us absolutely nothing except his say so that he had been in Pueblo or Colorado Springs." Jerry Weis, assistant district attorney for Cimarron County, Okla., said he expected to see and hear the "confession," which is on videotape, within the week. "Right now I don't know what we've got. After I see the evidence I will make a decision fairly quickly on whether to file charges against Toole," Weis said. Cimarron County Sheriff Bob White said he had seen evidence and was going through it again before presenting it to the district attorney. He would not comment on his opinion of it. Jim Franklin, the assistant chief deputy district attorney for the 4th Judicial District, said Wednesday he has read Tool's "confession" to Ms. Cousin's murder, but added: "The information we have at this moment indicates we have the correct person incarcerated." He said he has not heard yet from two officers representing the sheriff's office and Colorado Springs Police Department who went to Jacksonville to interview Toole about his statement.

Holt, William
William Holt - Colorado Public Defender - June 26, 1896 – William Holt, Albert Noble, and Deonicio Romero, Trinidad (Las Animas County). WW. Hanging/Broken necks. These three codefendants were convicted of the felony murder of a Trinidad police officer, John Solomon. In July 1895, Romero, age twenty-one, and Noble, age thirty-four, became acquainted with Leonardo Martinez and Pedro Baca, who were being held in the Las Animas County Jail pending trial for murder. Romero was serving a jail sentence for assault, having served several previous sentences for petty offenses. Noble had been arrested for a robbery in New Mexico, having previously served a seven-year sentence for robbing a post office. Upon release from jail, Romero, Noble, and a third man, William Holt, age twenty-one, conspired to rob the Horse Shoe Gambling Club in Trinidad to secure funds for Martinez and Baca's defense. Several others, including Martinez's mother, also assisted with the scheme. Officer John Solomon discovered and foiled the robbery. Solomon first struggled with Holt before Noble shot him in the back. Holt was the first person arrested; a gun left at the scene, which he purchased from a local pawnbroker a few days previously, tied him to the crime. Upon interrogation by the authorities, Holt confessed, and Romero quickly confirmed his story. Noble was tried first, followed by a joint trial for Holt and Romero. The convictions were affirmed on appeal. The three were executed in the first triple execution in Colorado's history. The men were executed in alphabetical order, in private, with all details prior to the executions kept secret. Originally the men were supposed to be hanged in the order of their culpability—Noble, Romero, and then Holt—but Holt was distressed that he "was called first." Notably, Holt had to be carried to the death chamber.

Hood, James
James Hood - Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph - December 5, 1979 - Fugitive Killed in Police Scuffle - James Hood, the escaped inmate who swore he would never be taken alive, was shot to death by police Tuesday after he attempted to flee a roadblock five miles north of Pueblo on Interstate 25. Hood, 39, wanted on federal warrants for interstate transportation of stolen goods, armed robbery and escape, was pronounced dead at the scene at about 3 p.m. Tuesday. A spokesman for the FBI said his agency received word at 2:30 p.m. that a man believed to be Hood was southbound on Interstate 25 between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The FBI received assistance from the Pueblo Police Department and the Colorado State Patrol in setting up a roadblock about five miles north of Pueblo. Hood's wife, Margaret Krystina Haas, who was driving the vehicle, ran the car off the roadway and into a field to avoid the roadblock, said Pueblo police Sgt. Ed Arriaga. Police surrounded Hood's car and, in the ensuing scuffle, Hood was shot, said Larry Miller, an FBI spokesman. Arriaga said the fatal shot was fired by a Pueblo police officer. Details of the killing are being withheld pending an investigation by the El Paso District Attorney's Office. A Pueblo County sheriff's spokesman said Hood had a .38-caliber handgun in a shoulder holster under his arm and a .45-caliber automatic handgun in the vehicle. Hood's wife was charged as an accessory to crime and is being held at Pueblo County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. Hood was convicted of interstate transportation of stolen goods in North Dakota about eight years ago and moved to the Colorado Springs area while out on bond and awaiting the results of an appeal, Miller said. When the appeal failed, authorities told Hood to turn himself in, he said. Hood refused to surrender and subsequently was convicted for escape, Miller said. Pueblo police wanted Hood in the investigation of an armed robbery in June of this year. Arriaga said 96 guns allegedly taken in that robbery were found in a cabin near Colorado Springs where Hood was known to have stayed. FBI agents almost nabbed Hood at the cabin, about 15 miles south of Colorado Springs off Highway 115, on July 26, but Hood fled into the hills after a brief exchange of gunfire. Hood escaped on foot again on Oct. 19 after FBI agents, Colorado Springs police and El Paso County sheriff's deputies chased him from a house on Hiawatha Street.

Hough, Ida
Ida Hough – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – July 19, 1877 – Lake City, July 12 –Death at all times produces sadness, but when it claims as its victim one so young, so amiable, so intelligent and so much esteemed, as was Miss Ida Hough, and the death of whose sister, a most estimable lady herself, preceded her own by only fifteen months, it awakens in us the heartiest sympathy for the relations of the deceased, and illustrates the truth of the maxim that the ways of Providence are inscrutable. It was but a few days ago that Miss Ida was on our streets apparently well, looking well and attracting all that delicate attention due a refined and cultivated lady. Now she is no more - no more on earth, but her immortal spirit dwells in heaven - no more on earth, but her virtues will long be remembered. She died yesterday in this city at the home of her father, John T. Hough, Esq. In this particularly sad bereavement the parents and relatives of the deceased have the heartfelt sympathies of this entire community.

Howard, Alex
Alex Howard - Wray Rattler - September 17, 1914 - Puebloan Slain from Ambush - Alex Howard, engineer at the Pueblo smelter, was shot and killed from ambush when he was on his way to work at midnight. A searching party found his body lying beneath the Spring street viaduct. One bullet penetrated his head and the other pierced his heart. People living near the scene said they remembered hearing two shots fired there at midnight, but they paid no attention to them. The search only originated when Howard failed to report for work and was found to have left his boarding house on D street at the regular time. Several dollars in change and a gold watch discredited the robbery motive and the police are working on the theory that jealousy caused the shooting. Howard is said to have been in love with an Austrian woman.

Howard, Moll
Moll Howard – Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – February 12, 1874 – Blood.  A most appalling murder was committed last night, in a small building on the hill above the post office, the victim being a woman, recently from Las Animas, and who has occupied the house only three or four days.  She has been boarding at a house near her room, and at about 8 o'clock this morning, not knowing why she failed to come to her breakfast, the man at whose house she had been boarding, went to call her and she was found dead.  A reporter for the Chronicle was at the place within two minutes after the alarm was given, and a sight too appalling for description was presented.  The door of the house was yet closed as the man had left it when the frightful discovery was made.  On entering, the poor woman was found lying across the bed, her bare feet nearly touching the floor.  Her head was shockingly mutilated, covered with blood and bruises.  Blood is on the floor, the bed is covered with it and the walls are spattered by it.  Pearl beads are scattered about, and blood is all over, showing that she had not died without a struggle, and that the bloody work had been commenced, at least, before she was placed upon the bed.  She was dressed in a calico wrapper, and although her feet were bare, it is evident that she had not yet retired for the night when the deed was done.  The woman is apparently about twenty-two years of age.  Her name we are unable to give, and of her character, now that she is dead, we have no wont of shame to say.  Perhaps she had been more sinning.  Her lips are forever sealed to any word or explanation, and let charity for human error, seal our lips to words of blame.  No satisfactory clue to the guilty parties has yet been found, though there are circumstances connected with the crime which, it is hoped, will lead to a full discovery. – Chronicle.  Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – February 12, 1874 – The woman who was murdered in Trinidad a few days ago, an account of which we publish in another column, is said to be Moll Howard, a notorious prostitute, who was once an inmate of a dance house in this city.  Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain – February 14, 1874 – From Doc. Burt, who returned from Trinidad yesterday, we learn that particulars of the recent "neck-tie" festival in that place.  It appears two men, an American named Spinner and a Mexican, were arrested for the murder of a prostitute named Moll Howard, who formerly lived in this city, but recently of Las Animas.  At the examination, on Monday, nothing could at first be elicited from them; but somebody told Spinner that the woman had revived and had accused him of assaulting her.  Then Spinner stated that the woman owed him a dollar, and he went to get it from her.  She became angry and attacked him with a butcher knife, when he struck her three times with a stone he carried in his pocket, for the purpose of defending himself from dogs.  On hearing this confession, the mob seized him and took him down to the bottom near the town, where he was hanged by a party of prostitutes, friends of the murdered woman, who had recently arrived from Las Animas.

Howerton, Pres E.
Pres E. Howerton – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – May 18, 1876 – Tragic End of the Howertons – One Killed on the Railroad, the Other Hanged by Vigilantes – In will be remembered that a few weeks ago the Chieftain published an account of the killing of a young man named Howerton, at Granada, by being run over by a sleeping car on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road while the train was switching. A brother of the young man who lost his life so tragically, as above mentioned, had previously left the same train while it was stopping at Hutchinson, and was not missed by his friends until after the train had passed several stations westward. He had started on to follow the train on foot and appears to have been out of his mind, as he rambled on from house to house without any apparent object, except that of going to the Rocky Mountains. About a week afterwards he walked into a camp of San Juaners, of fifteen men encamped near Lakin, and entered into conversation with two of the party encamped somewhat apart from the rest. He picked up a rifle belonging to an old man and inquired the price, and before his intentions were known he shot the owner through the body, severely but not fatally wounding him. He then started to run and escaped in the darkness. He got on board the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe train early next morning which passed the camp of the San Juan party, which boarded the train, recognized him, and after a slight resistance took him off. He was taken to a bridge a short distance west of Lakin, and then hung to the trestle work. He attempted to escape, but received one or two wounds from the guns of his guards. He was hung until dead and buried in a hole dug by the San Juan party near the bridge west of Lakin. It has since been discovered that he as well as his brother, who met with the railroad accident, were crazy and were suffering from some severe family calamity in the east. Of course the San Juan men did not known the mental condition of the man who visited their camp and shot one of their party so unceremoniously. The young man last mentioned was Pres. E. Howerton, an account of whose hanging we published some time since, and the whole family, who were traveling on the train which killed the first of the two young men, came from Hudsonville, Howard county, Illinois. Their trip to the Rocky Mountain country must have been a sad one, indeed. Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – May 18, 1876 – Lynching at Lakin – The Topeka Blade gives the following particulars of the hanging bee at Lakin station, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, briefly alluded to in the Chieftain a few days since: "We learn from a gentleman just from Lakin, the particulars of the hanging at that place, of Pres E. Howerton, of Hudsonville, Howard county, Illinois. It seems that on Tuesday morning, the 2nd inst., before day, he came to an emigrant camp and attempted (so they say), to steal a gun and cooking utensils. When discovered, he shot and wounded one Mitchell, of Labette county. Next day the emigrants discovered Howerton on the west bound train at Lakin. He tried to escape, but eight or nine shots caused him to surrender, when they took him to the railroad bridge near by and hung him, then dragged his body to a shallow grave in the sand, and the brutal work was completed. J. C. Thomas, in the employ of Mr. Potter at Lakin, witnessed the hanging, and recognized one of the party as G. A. Beck, of Osage City. Howerton said he left his wife and two children at Florence, Kansas.

Hudson, A. E.
A. E. Hudson – Durango Democrat – November 20, 1902 – Wounded Robber – Found with Bullet Hole Through His Stomach – Bandits Cornered – Last Night and Hot Fight Ensued – Trinidad, Colo., Nov. 19 – The Colorado and Southern train robber shot by Express Messenger Schriber during the attempt to rob the car last night was found near the scene of the attempted hold-up this morning with a bullet hole through his stomach. He died a short time afterward. The man refused to give his name or those of his companions. Letters on his person, however, led to his identification as A. E. Hudson, a coal miner who had been working at the Gray Creek mines. Alexander Clark, supposed to be one of the gang, was arrested while boarding a Denver and Rio Grande train here this afternoon at 2 o'clock. He stoutly denied his guilt and says he can prove he was working in the mine at Gray Creek at the time the robbery occurred. The officers claim the shoes he still wears are the same that could be traced near the scene of the hold-up. He is about 30 years old and single. Mrs. Hudson, the wife of the dead robber, was arrested this morning and is now in the county jail here. She denies all knowledge of the hold-up and says her husband accompanied by Alexander Clark, started on a hunting trip yesterday. The gun Hudson used was found however under the mattress on the bed in her house. She finally admitted it was brought to her house about 1 o'clock this morning by Guy La Croix, another suspect. Posses are now scouring the country in search of La Croix. A rumor at 10:30 tonight is to the effect that the remaining two robbers have been surrounded at the head of Frijolle creek and a hard fight between the posse and the robbers is being fought. Yuma Pioneer – November 28, 1902 – Colorado & Southern Train is Robbed Near Trinidad – Trinidad, Colo., Nov. 19 – Passenger train No. 7 on the Colorado & Southern, bound north from Fort Worth to Denver and due here at 10:30 last night, was held up at 10 o'clock near Beshoar station, twelve miles south of Trinidad. The train was in charge of Conductor Dennis Sullivan and John Gilfoil, engineer. The robbers were five in number, and one of them flagged the train with a red lantern while the others kept in hiding in the brush. When the train stopped two of the men mounted the engine cab and commanded the engineer and fireman, at the point of guns, to get off the engine. This order was promptly obeyed. The engineer was ordered to uncouple the express car, but instead of doing it he simply uncoupled the air hose, and the robbers, after firing a few shots to intimidate the passengers, mounted the engine and ordered the engineer to pull ahead with the express car. The train was pulled ahead about a mile from the first stop, to a lonely place, where it was evidently decided upon to commit the robbery. There three other robbers joined the others at the last stopping place. One robber took charge of the fireman, while the other four took the engineer to the express car and had him yell to the express messenger to open the car, saying that he was the engineer and for the man inside not to shoot. The messenger, whose name is W. H. Schriber of Fort Worth, Texas, in the meantime had put out all the lights in his car and fortified himself behind some trunks. The robbers fired several shots through the express car door, and finally, when they could not make the messenger open the door, they ordered the engineer to light the fuse on a sack of dynamite about five pounds of explosive, which they placed under the car. The robbers and the engineer then ran forward to the engine. The charge failed to explode. The express messenger then opened the door of his car about a foot and fired at the band of robbers with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. One of the bandits fell wounded. His companions picked up the wounded man and disappeared in the brush, while a fusillade of shots between Express Messenger Schriber and Conductor Sullivan on one side and the robbers on the other was exchanged. The train then proceeded on its way to Trinidad, arriving here forty minutes late. Railroad men here think the robbers were after the Colorado & Southern pay car, which arrived about an hour before No. 7 was due. The pay car carried a large amount of money, but No. 7 carried little cash. Trinidad and the surrounding country has been the scene of great activity to-day. Several posses have been scouring the country east and south of here, but at this hour no captures have been reported, with the exception of Alex. Clark, who is believed to be one of the robbers. He was arrested by Under Sheriff Kreeger at 2 o'clock this afternoon as he was boarding the Rio Grande north-bound train here. Clark drew his time check from the Grey Creek mine early this morning, and at once left, not even telling his most intimate companions where he was going. Under Sheriff Kreeger, while at Grey Creek this afternoon, got a tip to the effect that Clark was bound for Trinidad, and would leave on the Rio Grande this afternoon. Kreeger made a break-neck ride of nine miles in thirty-five minutes, and arrived here just in time to catch Clark as he was boarding the train. Clark denies having been in the party of robbers and states that he can prove that he was working in the Grey Creek mine all night last night. Hudson, the robber shot by Messenger Schriber, died at 4 o'clock this morning. He refused to say a word in reference to the hold-up. On the special train sent out to pick him up, he was closely questioned, but all the satisfaction that could be secured from him was: "I'm cold; wait until I get warm, then I'll tell you about it." Up to the last he refused to say a word that would throw any light on the identity of his companions. Seven buckshot from the gun in the hands of Express Messenger Schriber entered the small of his back. His body is now at R. G. Sipe's morgue in this city and will not be disposed of until after the investigation and inquest, which will be held to-morrow, when Express Messenger Schriber will arrive. Colorado & Southern Detective Reno arrived tonight and will take charge of the posse.

Hudson, Frank
Frank Hudson - Colorado Weekly Chieftain - June 1, 1868 – Lynching of Horse Thieves - In another item we give an account of the stealing of four horses belonging to Mr. Lewis Conley, of this county, and the escape and pursuit of the thieves. Since writing the item alluded to, we have received further news of the affair. The pursuing party returned on Thursday morning, bringing in the horses. It seems the thieves were tracked as far as Chico creek, going down the Arkansas, and there the trail was lost sight of; but for good reasons it was thought they had gone down the river, Statesward; and so the pursuing party pushed on, traveling night and day. When they arrived at Fort Lyon, they learned that the thieves had passes there, from a description given of the men and horses. General Penrose, who is not at all partial to horse thieves, furnished fresh horses and a squad of soldiers to the pursuers, who thus reinforced pushed on and overtook the two men, about fifty miles below Fort Lyon. The fugitives were immediately taken into custody, without resistance which they saw would be useless. A "high court of impeachment" was summarily improvised, and the prisoners were called on to plead to the charges brought by the "managers." They made a full confession of the crime: gave their names as Charles Watson and Frank Hudson; that they had hired to Mr. Conley in Denver, about two months ago; that they were deserters from the army; that they now expected their fate, and seemed indifferent as to what might be. We might, by giving romantic details, make a sensational story for eastern papers, as to the fate of these two scalawags; but we choose simply to say that without loss of time, or expensive preparations, they were hanged to the limb of a "noble old cottonwood" until they were dead. Such is the retributive justice meted out to this class of border ruffians.

Humiston, Henry Merton
Henry Merton Humiston - Newspaper Unknown [Possibly Bayfield Blade] - 1935 - Henry Merton Humiston was born in Galesburg, Ill., in 1873, but spent the greater part of his younger days among the pioneer ranchers of eastern Colorado and western Kansas, riding the range in the days of the "long-horns" and wild and out-law horses, which he became very expert in riding and handling. Probably in this strenuous and dangerous occupation, he received minor injuries that brought on the illness that caused his death. In this period of his life he met Miss Lena Potter, daughter of pioneer parents of the Arkansas Valley, and married her in 1900. They were blest with four sons: Merton and Wiley, residing in San Francisco; Glenn, who remained with his parents; and Frank, deceased. Twelve of the ensuing years, previous to moving to Bayfield, he served in the sheriffs offices of Ordway and Walsenburg, where with his good judgment, fearless disposition and willing and persevering efforts, he made an enviable record. In 1919, Humiston came to Bayfield, purchased a ranch and was engaged in the ranching business until his death, with the exception of three years, 1927-1931, which the Humiston family spent in Corcoran, California, where Humiston was employed on the police force. With his straightforward, pleasant and unpretentious manner, Humiston was a good mixer, and met, made and kept friends easily. He always had time to talk , and his happy trait of greeting and bidding goodbye with a witty or amusing remark or expression, and his keen, active and predominant sense of humor, and appreciation of a joke were characteristic and evident in him even to his last day of life.. Humiston was a man of his word. In referring to a person of honest character, he frequently referred to them as "square shooters". His many friends bear witness that he lived up to the precepts of a "square shooter". His community has lost a good neighbor and a good citizen. He was always ready to aid a good cause and to acknowledge and uphold whatever the occasion justified. Although he was worn from suffering in his last illness and realized he was failing, he passed on, as he had lived, calmly and courageously into life everlasting, leaving a devoted wife, three sons, a granddaughter, and an unusually large number of friends to mourn him. [Editor's note: This Humiston family is buried in the Bayfield, La Plata County, Colorado, Cemetery. Frank M. Humiston, born 1905, died 1933; Glenn W. Humiston, born 11-9-1911, died 6-27-1943, San Diego, CA; Henry M.

Hunt, Joseph
Joseph Hunt – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – October 30, 1879 – Fatal Accident – At an early hour on Monday morning a man was found in an unconscious condition lying under the bridge across the Arkansas near the smelter. He had, to all appearances, been lying there since the previous evening, and from his position he is supposed to have been walking across the bridge, and to have fallen through. He struck the ground near the edge of the water, and when found was cold and stiff. He was removed to the county hospital, where everything possible was done for him by Dr. Ashcom, the county physician. He lay all day upon a bed there, blood and froth issuing from his mouth, and finally in the evening died without reviving. He was recognized as a man named Hunt, who had formerly worked at the smelter. Colorado Weekly Chieftain – October 30, 1879 – Whisky Did It – Inquest Upon the Body of Joseph Hunt – Dr. P. R. Thombs, coroner, held an inquest yesterday morning upon the body of Joseph Hunt, who was found at an early hour on Monday morning, insensible and almost frozen under the bridge across the Arkansas near the smelter. The coroner's jury consisted of Messrs. Chas. B. Dunbaugh, M. Sullivan, T. R. Jones, D. A. Phillips, Frank Clark, and M. Studzinski. Mr. C. W. Edwards testified that he had known the deceased for about ten years. He came from Europe and worked for witness' father in a livery stable at Des Moines, Iowa. He had also been employed at the smelter and by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company. He was troubled with some disease contracted while serving in the English army in India. Witness was of the opinion that Hunt was a little crazy. Mr. J. L. Kennedy stated that as he came from work at six o'clock on Monday morning. He saw the deceased lying under the railroad bridge and heard him groan. The witness came up and found Constable Zimmer and went after Hunt. Some Mexicans had carried him to their house. Hunt had been drinking on Sunday. When found he was lying on his face. Constable Zimmer testified to bringing the man up to the jail, and finding a watch and other articles on his body, which he turned over to the sheriff. Dr. Ashcom stated that he had examined the body and concluded that Hunt died from concussion caused by the fall from the bridge and exposure. Thought he must have been under the influence of liquor. During the afternoon he lifted his head and shoulders when he had a slight convulsion. He seemed perfectly stiff and it was impossible to get his pulse up. Could find no bones broken. Dr. Duke concurred with Dr. Ashcom as to the cause of death. The jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts.

A. C. Hunter - Colorado Springs Gazette - September 16, 1929 - Three Burn to Death in Auto Near Pueblo - Crashes Into End of Bridge, Gas Explodes - Fourth's Escape From Like Fate 'Miraculous' - Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 15 - Three persons were burned to death when they were drenched with flaming gasoline after their motor car had crashed into a concrete abutment and overturned on the Walsenburg highway eight miles south of here tonight. The fourth passenger in the car was seriously injured but will recover. The dead are: A.C. Hunter, 35, Pueblo. Mrs. A.C. Hunter, 46, Pueblo. Mrs. Henry Spoor, 28, Pueblo. Lawrence Merrill, 27, of Pueblo, escaped from the wreck with a fractured rib, a fractured arm and slight bruises and burns. He was brought to a hospital here, where it was said he would recover. Merrill said the car was traveling only about 30 miles an hour when the crash occurred. Merrill, altho unable to give a coherent account of the wreck, said: "I shall never be able to tell how the accident occurred. I was riding in the rumble seat of the car and Hunter was driving. We were out for a short ride into the country. As we passed over a concrete bridge over a dry wash the car suddenly swerved and crashed into the wall of the bridge. I felt the car skid and there was a flash of light as the gasoline tank exploded. After that I knew nothing until I was on my way to the hospital here." Passing motorists who arrived shortly after the crash found the car smouldering and the bodies of the victims burned beyond recognition. Merrill was jammed between the bridge and the wreckage of the rumble seat. It seemed impossible that he could have escaped with his life, they said. Authorities who conducted a hurried investigation tonight were unable to decide on the cause of the accident. The bodies of the victims were brought here and an inquest will likely be held tomorrow, it was said at the sheriff's office. Note: Hazel Spoor is buried in Mountain View Cemetery.

Hunter, William T.
William "Will" T. Hunter - Akron Pioneer Press - May 23, 1919 - George T. and Thomas Boske, brothers, were arrested at Kenilworth, Utah, after eluding sheriff's officers in a three-day chase in the hills of Northern Colorado. This information was telegraphed to Sheriff Sam Thomas on his return from the hills. The men are charged with the murder of Will T. Hunter and Elton Z. Parks, near Pueblo, six weeks ago. Leadville Carbonate Chronicle - May 26, 1919 - Confession of Boskos - Younger of Two Brothers Gives Graphic Description of Killing of Parks and Hunter Near Pueblo - Robbery Their Motive - Cold Blooded Crime - Colorado Springs, May 21 - George Bosko, 24, made a complete confession, the police announced tonight of the shooting and killing of Wm. T. Hunter and E. C. Parks, on the Rye road near Pueblo on the afternoon of April 11, at the El Paso county jail tonight at 8 o'clock. Thomas Bosko, 17, confessed that he accompanied his brother at the time of the killing and that he assisted him in the crime. The men were brot here from Kenilworth, Utah, by Sheriff Sam Thomas and Undersheriff W. S. Slagle of Pueblo County, and are being held in the local jail for safe keeping. The older Bosko, who is of Slav descent, said that he committed the double murder in an effort to obtain funds in order that he might take up a check of $200 which he had forged upon his father. Bosko was to have a half interest in a garage at Lafayette, Colo. His brother-in-law, S. H. McFadden, was to be his partner and it was in paying for his share of the business that he drew the bogus check. He relinquished his interest in the garage to his father and, with his younger brother, he started in search of money. The pair arrived in Pueblo on the afternoon of Thursday, April 10. It was on Friday morning that they left the city, obtaining a ride with Mrs. George Little in her car. When she dropped them they succeeded in getting another ride which carried them to the Hatchett ranch where they asked for work. Their request being denied, they proceeded to the brow of the next hill where they encountered Hunter and Parks. They were taken into the Parks car and while riding in the back seat, they overheard Hunter speak of $3,000 which he had on his person. The plan was immediately formed to kill the men, rob their bodies and to take the car to make an escape to Utah. As they approached a bridge on the Rye road about eighteen miles out of Pueblo, George Bosko drew a gun and shot Parks dead. He then turned the gun on Hunter, firing once. The pair dragged Parks from the car to the edge of the bridge and rolled him over into the arroyo below. Hunter had managed to leave the car and advanced to the bridge. Bosko fired a second shot which passed thru Hunter's chest, killing him. As his victim staggered against the bridge railing Bosko kicked his feet from beneath him and he slipped into the gully below. William Reed and Jack Parker, who approached along the road in a car at that moment, witnessed the third (second?) shot and the killing of Hunter. At the point of a gun the two witnesses were forced to turn about and leave the scene. The Boskos took a Colorado and Southern train to Lafayette at 2:35 o'clock the next morning and from there they went to Kenilworth, Utah, on April 17. The first information as to the men's whereabouts, was discovered by Sheriff John H. Weir of this county. For three days the Pueblo officers and Sheriff Weir followed a trail in the northern part of the state and, obtaining definite information, Sheriff Thomas ordered Sheriff T. F. Kelter of Price, Utah, to arrest the suspects. Fort Collins Courier - June 2, 1920 - Condemned Murderer To Get Sanity Hearing - By United Press. Denver, June 2. - Acting Governor Stephen today appointed a lunacy commission, headed by Dr. Hubert Work of Pueblo, to pass upon the mental condition of George Bosko, who was sentenced to hang during the week of June 21 for the murder of E. C. Parks and William Hunter on the Rye road south of Pueblo, April 11, 1919. George Bosko, age 28, was convicted of the double murder and sentenced to die while his brother, Tom Bosko, age 18, was sentenced to life imprisonment for his part in the crime. The double murder stirred all Colorado at the time it occurred. The two brothers had asked Parks and Hunter for a ride in their automobile and afterwards killed the two men. It is possible that as a result of the appointment of the sanity commission, George Bosko may escape the hangman's noose, but will spend the rest of his natural life in the state insane asylum. Wray Rattler - June 26, 1919 - Morgan County Herald – George Bosko was sentenced to be hanged during the week beginning September 22 and Tom Bosko was sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge Trimble in the district court at Pueblo for the murder of Elton C. Parks and Will T. Hunter on the Rye road near Pueblo on the afternoon of April 11. Sentence was pronounced immediately following the arguments of defendants' attorneys, T. A. Stewart and Robert Morris for a new trial. Judge Trimble also overruled the attorney's plea for dismissal on the ground of former jeopardy. It is likely that appeal to the Supreme Court will be made. The attorneys have sixty days in which to file their bills for exceptions. Weekly Ignacio Chieftain - June 27, 1919 - George Bosko, convicted of killing Elton C. Parks and Will T. Hunter on the Rye road near Pueblo on the afternoon of April 11, was sentenced to be hanged during the week beginning Sept. 22. Tom Bosko, a brother of the doomed man, was given life imprisonment. It is likely that appeal to the Supreme Court will be made. The attorneys have sixty days in which to file their bill of exceptions. Fort Collins Courier - December 11, 1920 - Confessed Murderer is Hung at State Penitentiary Friday Night at 9:08 O'Clock; Death Penalty is Paid For Murder of "Good Samaritan" Autoists on Pueblo Highway - Pueblo, Dec. 10 - George T. Bosko, confessed murderer of E. C. Parks and Will Hunter of Pueblo, was executed in the state penitentiary at 9:08 tonight according to advices received here from Canon City. Prison officials refused to give out any of the details of the execution only that the prison chaplain was present. It is reported by friends of Bosko's mother that she has suffered a collapse and is not expected to live through the night. The following is the history of the crime for which he paid the death penalty tonight: George T. Bosko, 25 years old, and his brother, Thomas Bosko, 18, left Pueblo on April 10, 1919, without funds and looking for employment on ranches in that vicinity. On April 11, near Rye, Colo., while walking along the road, they encountered an automobile driven by Elton C. Parks, in which William T. Hunter was a passenger. Parks permitted the two pedestrians to ride in the car. The two men occupied the rear seat. Eighteen miles from Pueblo, according to his own confession, George Bosko drew a revolver and shot and killed Parks and Hunter. The brothers escaped to Utah, where they were arrested on May 16 at Kenilworth, after a chase of three days in the hills. George Bosko, soon after his arrest, confessed to the double murder, declaring he committed the crime to secure funds. The younger Bosko also confessed to his part in the killing. On June 19, 1919, a jury in Pueblo sentenced George Bosko to hang and Thomas Bosko to life imprisonment. Several reprieves were granted by the lieutenant governor, the last reprieve expiring on December 2, when acting Governor George Stephen announced he would grant no further extension of time. Colorado Public Defender - December 10, 1920 - George R. Bosko (a.k.a. Bosco), Pueblo. W-W. Hanging/Broken neck. Bosko was executed for the murders of William T. Hunter and Elton C. Parks. Bosko's brother and accomplice, Tom, was under eighteen years of age at the time of the crimes, and because of his young age, he received a sentence of life imprisonment, rather than death, for his role in the crimes. Parks, a car salesman, was demonstrating a new car to Hunter, a ranch owner, when they picked up the two brothers. The brothers then shot the victims and stole the car. Bosko, age twenty-eight, worked as a ranch hand, had no prior arrests, and had served in the Army for three years. Upon his arrest, he gave a full confession, and at his arraignment he pleaded guilty. The convictions were affirmed on appeal. The Lieutenant Governor delayed the execution for five months so physicians could evaluate Bosko's sanity. At the time of the execution, Bosko's mother "is said to have suffered a collapse . . . and was not expected to live thru [sic] the night." Fort Collins Courier – December 11, 1920 – Confessed Murderer Is Hung At State Penitentiary Friday Night at 9:08 O'Clock; Death Penalty Is Paid For Murder of "Good Samaritan" Autoists On Pueblo Highway – By Associated Press – Pueblo, Dec. 10. – George T. Bosko, confessed murderer of E. C. Parks and Will Hunter of Pueblo, was executed in the state penitentiary at 9:08 tonight according to advices received here from Canon City. Prison officials refused to give out any of the details of the execution only that the prison chaplain was present. It is reported by friends of Bosko's mother that she has suffered a collapse and is not expected to live thru the night. The following is the history of the crime for which he paid the death penalty tonight: George T. Bosko, 25 years old, and his brother, Thomas Bosko, 18, left Pueblo on April 10, 1919, without funds and looking for employment on ranches in that vicinity. On April 11, near Rye, Colo., while walking along the road, they encountered an automobile driven by Elton C. Parks, in which William T. Hunter was a passenger. Parks permitted the two pedestrians to ride in the car. The two men occupied the rear seat. Eighteen miles from Pueblo, according to his own confession, George Bosko drew a revolver and shot and killed Parks and Hunter. The brothers escaped to Utah, where they were arrested on May 16 at Kenilworth, after a chase of three days in the hills. George Bosko, soon after his arrest, confessed to the double murder, declaring he committed the crime to secure funds. The younger Bosko also confessed to his part in the killing.

Hyde, William H.
William H. Hyde - Pueblo Chieftain - February 18, 1918 - William H. Hyde Former Mayor of Pueblo is Dead - William H. Hyde, a former mayor of the old city of Pueblo, and a resident of Pueblo for fifty-nine years, died at the local hospital yesterday afternoon as a result of an illness of ten days from pneumonia. Mr. Hyde had been identified for more than a half of century with the development of the Pueblo and the Arkansas valley, and during fifty years of that time he was active in the business of life of Pueblo. Four years ago he sold his interests in the Pueblo Carriage company to his partner, John Schultz, and retired his ranch home on the St. Charles Mesa about six miles south-east of the city, and the closing years of his active career were to be spent in the development of his agricultural interests. About ten days ago Mr. Hyde took a heavy cold which settled on his lungs, and he decided to come to the city to receive medical treatment. On the advice of his physicians he went to the hospital for treatment. For a time it seemed that in spite of his four score and two years the rugged pioneer would be able to overcome his illness. But the malady had gained such a hold upon the former sturdy constitution that, in spite of all that medical science could avail, Mr. Hyde strength continued to ebb until mid-afternoon yesterday when the patient dropped quietly into sleep which ended in death shortly thereafter. Mr. Hyde was born in England in 1836 but came to Colorado June 1, 1859 and to Pueblo not long thereafter. Prior to his coming to Pueblo Mr. Hyde had been engaged in work as a mail carrier and express rider in the old days of the west, and for a time after coming to Pueblo he continued that vocation, his duties taking him as far west as California, and subjecting him to the perils of the wild frontier of the early 60's. When the Civil war broke out Mr. Hyde gave up his business to enter the service of his country. His career as a soldier is said to have revealed in him a man of unusual courage, and he was known as a soldier possessed not only of courage, but remarkable tact, born of his many previous years of frontier work when it was necessary to study means of safely conducting parties over the perilous trails of "The Great West that Was," and be possessed of a cool head and a quick wit to overcome the perils of Indians, storms, lost trails, and the countless other dangers which beset the path of those who won the West for civilization. In 1870 Mr. Hyde and Charles Kretschmer formed a business partnership known as Hyde & Kretschmer, and engaged in the implement, wagon and general blacksmithing business. Their place of business was at the corner of Third and Main streets, the present location of the Pueblo Savings and Trust company building. This partnership continued until 1876 when by mutual consent it was dissolved, tho both of these pioneers were, until three years ago when Mr. Hyde retired from business and active city life, engaged in the same lines of business here. Mr. Kretschmer is still active in business here. In 1878 Mr. Hyde was elected mayor of the old city of Pueblo and served with honor. Mr. Hyde was an honored member of the Southern Colorado Pioneers association and of Pueblo Post No. 8, Grand Army of the Republic. He is survived by his widow, a son, Lawrence S. Hyde, and a daughter, Mrs. Guy Russell of Los Angeles, Cal. A son Edward Hyde, and a daughter, Lulu, preceded their father to the grave. A brother of the deceased died about a year ago at his home in Canon City. The remains were removed to the McCarthy chapel where they are held pending the arrival of relatives and completion of the arrangements for the funeral, the time and place of the services to be announced later.
