th me. I then dismounted
and had Winn do the same. I first went into the house, where I
found several women. I searched the house thoroughly, but found
no one in it that I wanted. I then said to Sam:

"We will go over to the other house."

"All right, come on," said Sam, and started out ahead of me.

When I got into the yard I stopped, saying:

"Hold on; here is a corral out here, let us examine that."

At this Sam came to a standstill, and was very much excited. I
was then certain that my man was there. I had to urge Sam
considerably to get him to go up to the corral with me. Henry
Darrow, one of Lee's sons-in-law, followed us. I took a circle
around the corral, and then walked up to the log pen. This pen
was about seven feet wide, nine feet long, and four feet high in
the clear. There was a hole close to the ground, just about large
enough for a man to crawl through. I first went to this hole and
looked through into the pen, but I could see nothing but some
loose straw in the back end of the pen. I then discovered a
little hole between the top logs, near the back end, where the
straw covering was off. I went to this hole and put my eye down
to it, and then I saw one side of Lee's face, as he lay on his
right side; his face was partly covered with loose straw. I
waited a few seconds, until Winn came near enough for him to hear
me without my speaking over a whisper. I then said:

"There is someone in that pen."

"I guess not," said Darrow.

"I am certain there is a person in there."

"Well, if there is, it is likely one of the children," said
Darrow.

By this time Winn was in position and holding his Henry rifle
ready for instant use. Winn and myself were alone. All my other
men were in other parts of the town. Just then I saw Fish coming.
I then said:

"Lee, come out and surrender yourself. I have come to arrest
you."

He did not move. I looked around to see if any of my men were
coming. I saw Fish sitting on his horse in front of the door, his
gun in his hand. I motioned my hand for him to come to me, but he
remained still and kept watch of the house, as if he was going to
shoot, or expected danger from that quarter. His action surprised
me, for he was a brave man, and quick to obey orders. I then
looked at the house to see what was attracting his attention, and
I soon saw there was enough there to claim his full time. I saw
two guns pointed through the logs of the side of the house and
aimed direct
