Protection.
October 27, deputy marshals left Tucson to arrest the murderer of Charles McKinney—Es-ke-van-zin—at Camp Grant, whom the United States Grand Jury had indicted a few days previous. One day before the officers reached said Camp, the murderer was there; when they arrived, he was secreted, or had gone away; after they left and ever since, he has been there and drawn his regular rations. These facts are notorious, yet the officers of that post have failed to give the civil authorities notice of his presence. Does such a state of facts need any explanation to show how safe a murdering Indian is at Camp Grant? Whitman stated in substance last summer to Charles O. Brown and John W. Hopkins, that the Indians were his clients.
