The other man was five feet eight inches in height, but much stouter built
than the taller, with hair of the exact color, and like his inclined to
curl. His face was rounder and covered with about two weeks growth of
beard; the eyes, like the other’s were blue.
The clothing was quite new, even to the shirt, which appeared to have been
put on that day. He also wore a white linen collar (new) and a white linen
handkerchief round his neck. On his feet were striped half hose and good
boots, but of different make, one boot being finer and lighter than the
other.
Gold sleeve buttons, gold pin and gold or filled case watch and chain,
with linen ulster duster and new felt hat of fine quality, “John Hancock”
make, completed his costume.
Beneath his clothing he wore a money belt of leather, but it was empty.
About a dollar and fifty cents had been taken from the two men, but Chief
King, in researching this fellow, found four dollars more. The wound was
an ugly, jagged bullet hole, very large, and with the edges much torn,
toward the center of the chest and about four inches below the heart.
There were also several small shot wounds on the body of this one and
three on the forehead; his hat was also riddled with shot, and it was
evident that he had been hit twice from a shot gun, for several of the
shot wounds were in the back. From photographs sent to the St. Louis
police, the man was at once recognized as Clell Miller.
