`` Remember your oath , gentlemen , '' was Danny 's only reply to this . It was decided at last that five committees should be appointed to arrest each of the five men , that the prisoners should be confined in a certain isolated log cabin , and that the execution should take place in broad daylight . There remained only to apportion the committees . This was done , and at about two or three o'clock we quietly dispersed . I was instructed to coöperate with three of the miners in the arrest of Catlin . With the members of my committee I returned to our own camp , there to await the appointed hour of seven . This had been selected for several reasons : it was daylight , the roughs would be at home , and the community , although afoot , would not yet have gone to work .
