Eating his Comrades.
Alfred G. Packer, who murdered
his fivo compauionn in Southern Col
orado nine years ago, and ato their
flesh, and was recently captured near
Fort Fettcrman, is now in jail at Denver
nwnlting trial. When tho train which
boro him arrived nt tho Union Depot
from Cheyenne, a great crowd was
in waiting. As Pncker alighted from
tho train, heavily ironed and between
two officers, tho excited mon, women
nnd children thronged around to get a
glimpse of him. It was only after tho
greatest diflleulty that the United
States and county olllccrs succeeded in
getting him through tho waiting room
to a conveyance. Tho fear that
stamped itself on Packer's faco with
tho hue of death as ho surveyed tho
mass of pcoplo from the car steps was
not relieved by tho remarks and mut
tcrings that met him at every step.
"IIo ought to be lynched right here,"
said a San Juan miner, whose remem
brance of tho awful crime was height
ened by tho coloring tradition nnd
given it. "There ho goes," shouted
nnother; "look at him Packer, the
ghoul." "A civilized cannibal,"
shouted a third. As ho shambled
along in his clanking shackles, Packer
eyed tho crowd furtively, with increas
ed pallor. When ho was comfortably
seated within the hack provided for
his transit to tho jail ho heaved a clad
sigh and muttered a thankful "Well,
I'm glad that part of it is over with.''
Packer is a man of middle ago and ho
has a repulsive countenance. He is a
Pennsylvanian, and has been in tho
West mining for twenty years. His
great crime was committed while on a
prospecting expedition. He made a
confession to General Adams, who
caused his arrest at Saguache, Colora
do, shortly after tho crime. After de
scribing the struggles of his party in
the snow, Packer said : "We followed
tho mountain until wo came to tho
main range. I don't remember how
many days wo wcro traveling men l
think about ten, living on rosebuds
nnd pino gum, and some of tho men
wero crying and praying. Then wo
camo oyer the main range. o camp
ed twice on a stream which runs into
big lake (San Christobel); the sec
ond night just above the lake. Tho
uext morning we crossed tho lake and
cut holes in tho ico to catch lish. .
There was no fish, so wo tried to catch
snails. The ico was thin ; 6omc broke
through. We crossed the lako and
.r...- r a. ...i All i
weni into a gtovo Ol UlllUL-l. Ul
tho men wero crying and one of them
was crazy, bwau asked mo to go ana
see if I could not see something from
tho mountain. I took a gun, went up
tho hill, found a big rose bush with
buds sticking through tho snow, but
could see nothing but snow all around.
I had been kind of a guide lor them
but I did not know the mountains
from that side. When 1 camo back to
camp after being gono all that day I
found the red-headed man lsell, who
had been crazy in the morning, silting
uear the fire roasting a piece of meat
which had been cut out of tho leg of
tho German butcher, Miller. Tho
latter's body was lyiug tho furthest off
trom the nro down uio stream, ins
skull was crushed iu with a hatchet.
Tho other three men wero lying near
the fire. They were cut in the fore
head with tho hatchet. Some had two
and some three cuts. I came within a
rod of tho fire, when the man saw me.
He got up with his hatchet toward me,
and I shot him sideways through tho
belly. He fell on bis face ; tho hatch
et fell forward ; 1 grabbed it and hit
him on tho top of tho head. I camped
that night at the lire. Sat up all night.
Tho next morning I followed my
tracks up tho mountain, but could not
make it. Tho snow was too deep and
1 1 camo back. I
I a pieco of pini
went sideways into
no :imuer, set up two
ticks and covered them with pino
boughs and made a shelter about threo
feet high. This was my camp until
camo out. 1 went back to the lire,
covered tho men up and fetched to the
camp tho pieco of meat that was near
the firo. I made a now fire near my
camp, and I cooked a pieco of meat
and ate it. 1 tried to get away every
av, but could not; so I lived eff tho
flesh of theso men the bigger part of
tho sixty days I was out. Then tho
snow began to havo a crust. I started
out up tho creek to a place whero a
big slide of yellowish clay seemed to
como down tho mountain. Thero I
stalled up, but got my feet wet, and
having only tv pieco of blanket around
them, I froze my feet under the toes
and 1 camped before I reached the top,
making n tiro and staying all night.
Tho next day I made the top of tho
lull and a little over. 1 built a lire on
top of a log, and upon two logs closo
together I camped. I cooked some of
tho flesh I carried with mo for food-.
I carried only ono blanket. Thero
was $70 among tho men ; I fetched it
out with me and ono gun. Tho red
headed man, Hell, had a fifty-dollar
bill in bis pocket ; all tho others to
gether had only 20. I had 20 my
self. If there was any moro nionev in
the outfit I did not know of it, nnd it
emained there. At tho last camp
just boforo I reached tho agency, I nto
my last pieco ot moat. 1 Ins meat 1
cooked at tho camp beforo I started
out, mid put it into a bag, and carried
tho bag with me. I could eat but a
