4 o'clock Saturday
Given at Sacramento , this the fifth day of June , 1871 . Our correspondent continues : I am sorry to say that Sheriff Higgins has not been so active in the discharge of his duty as the urgency of the case required , but he is perhaps excusable on account of the criminal interference of the editor above alluded to . But I am detaining you from more important matters . Your Saturday 's paper reached here at 4 o'clock Saturday ,13 th May , and , as it now appears from the evidence taken before the coroner , several persons left Auburn on the same errand , but without any previous conference . Two of these were named respectively Charles P. Gillson and Bartholomew Graham , or , as he was usually called , `` Black Bart . '' Gillson kept a saloon at the corner of Prickly Ash Street and the Old Spring Road ; and Black Bart was in the employ of Conrad & Co. , keepers of the Norfolk Livery Stable . Gillson was a son-in-law of ex-Governor Roberts , of Iowa , and leaves a wife and two children to mourn his untimely end .
