The Mexican’s wife, Josepha, later told that Andreas’ father had been trying to put Andreas up to this dirty work for a long time. after Andreas had killed Bill (with his own gun), Alice evidently ran to Bill and Andreas shot her also, as her body had fallen across Bill’s on the path leading back to the house. They wee still huddled there in death the net morning when C. B. Kincheloe, a close neighbor, rode in about 5:30 a.m. to pick up Bill’s wagon and team to get a load of paint, lumber and barbed wire from Animas Station.
When Kicheloe made his discovery, he hurried back home and told Bob, his son, about the murders an they quickly notified as many people as they could reach. George Godfrey, another close neighbor, and Bob went back to Bill’s and they in turn told Dolph Winkler. Dolph went to tell the Parkers, Bill’s dad Dave, living si miles east, and Parker brothers Bud, Dink and Ope. Ope was in El Paso at the time; he and Una Worthington had gone there to be married and were on their wedding trip.
Bud Parker and brother Dink went to Bill’s and joined the posse of men on horseback. about forty men in all had gathered, including Jim Bennett; Oliver Olds; Bud and Dink Paker; Bob Kicheloe; Pat McCulloch; Jess Cook; Bruce, Doyle and Roy Woods; John Paks; “Hammer” Livingston; Barney parker; A. Gruell; Bob akins; Joe Yarborough; Alec Burtrong; Blondie Evans; Bill adams; and Ben robertson (the Diamond A manager at that time), who was put in charge. some of the other men were George Godfrey, Alf Yarborough, Frank Nations, Charlie and Bill Eddleman, Leo McKinney, eck Upshaw, Lem Spilsbury, Elmer Turner, John Curry, Bill Townsend, Fred Sandford, Wilbur Stevens, Del Krebaum (father of Alice), Burt Rhodes, Slim Sims, Leonard Bean, Walter Maloney, Shad Hobbs, and Bob Caylor.
The list may not be complete since Bob Kincheloe, George Godfrey, and the two Woods boys, Bruce and Roy, are the only men of this possee still known to be living, and they have been unable to complete the list from memory.
