Show April 23rd, 1915, Dear Mr. Avery: I have your letter today of April 20th, stating that you are counsel for the Piute Indian Tsa-Ne-Gat. I would advise you to get in touch with Major J. E. Jenkins, agent at Navajo Springs, Colorado. He is very much interested in Tse-Ne-Gat as I am, and I promised him a fair trial. I was told out there that the principal witness against him is a Ute Indian who is his enemy; he declares himself that he is innocent. It is also charged against him, I under- stand, that he killed this Mexican for his money. I was also told that the body was not found until three nonths after death, and that money and checks were still on his person. Of course, I know nothing of this myself, but only what I have heard from different persons. I think, however, if you will get in touch with Major Jenkins that he will be able not only to find a first- class interpreter for you but also to put you in possession of all kinds of information. Wishing you all kinds of success, I am, Very sincerely yours, [no signature] Mr. Charles L. Avery, Suite 522 Symes Bldg., Denver, Colo. enc |
