I Heppner,
la an offshoot of tho cannibal proffea- j
sion, they generally skin cm allvo. 1
Packer did have the good tnxto to di !
atroy em and get em out of their mix-
ery. Most Lawyers delight In Boeing
their victims suffer. It was tho winter
of 72 and 73. There wus six Compan
ions, ami they wero all well equipped 1
witli provisions, tint lu the snow tliey
got lost from their Iturros. Mr. lluyot ;
in his letter says that It wa.t tliu tin t
time, and perhnis the last that u l.-iw-y-r
was ever permitted to accompany
a band of Prospectors Into the moun
tain. Mo always waits till they go out j
and Hud It, and then he gets his sharo !
by showing em wbere to sign their ;
name. Hut Pucker was afraid they
would come back and find another '
lawyer so he Just went along with em. i
Hut aint that .strange that a l.awyor j
Is never allowed out with Prospectors?
Well It seems there was dlssetislou !
from the start over allowing lilin to
come along, and lu his trial after
wards, ho said that he heard them plot
ting to kill and eat him. Put that d Id
em go with the .'cie and Jury. They
knew no man could ever get so hungry
that they would eat a Lawyer.
Now I was wrong lu one little mis
statement about t'.;.: case. I had heard
he was hung. He
was not. Colorado
was then a Terri
tory and the game
laws did not pro
tect Democrats.
Kven to this day
iu some states It
would not be con
sidered illegal to
tat one. So they
give him orty
years In Canyon
City Jail. That was
a lltlio over six
years for each one ho ate. You would
have to eat at least ten or more to get
life according to t'otorado Justice. He
didt nt stay in there that long. Along
in 9V when Civilization and the Dtn
ver Post hit us, why them and other
papers starU'J a campaign to release
:ltn. There was a ticlit election com
i:ig on. and thpiii beln; It -publicans.
they wanted to let him. out hoping he
would eut up Home more Democrats
before November 4th.
After this Packer fellow was re
tecsed from the J ill, he went to Crip
ple Creek and Inserted an udvertl.'-e-ment
In the local papers, uhking for
men with means to accompany til in
in a prospecting trip. Not a Soul went.
