Haskell presented the flag to their chief messenger, my father, Mr. Thomas Connell, and it has been in our possession since." Mr. Thomas Connell. Mr. Connell was one of the few of the early comers who never went to the mines, though of course, that was his intention.

He had utilised, as best he could, the hours since that cavalcade had departed from La Rosita to put his own affairs in order so that he might feel free to camp on the conspirators' trail and risk all in an effort to rescue Cavendish.

Only two days were spent with the Indians and on April 15, taking Haskell, Hatch and McConnell, the party struck toward the southwest, to find the Beale road.

When the rope was brought, Long Bill Haskell, Fat Olsen, and the craps-player, with much awkwardness and angry haste, got the slip-noose around the Indian's neck and rove the rope over a rafter.
