"This country is big but it is small for the white people" 136

Testimony of the defense
Captain Jack
July, 1873
"Now for the last time. I say again, I am ashamed of my coming death, but not afraid. What our White Father says is right. I must die, so this is all. I have no more to say. I see in your faces you are tired of listening to me. Perhaps some of you think I am lying, but my friends, I tell the truth. I still feel for the welfare of my young boys and girls. I hope the white people will not ill treat them on my account, for they cannot help what wrongs I did. That is the one matter and the only matter that bothers me is my young people. I hope the White Father in Washington will give them a good home and start them in life...." 188

"To the Honorable C Delano, Secretary of the Interior, Washington D.C., Headquarters Lava Beds
Let's have both sides of the question. Let us have the sworn statements of the Indians, which will be corroborated by the testimony of responsible white men. If you have any authority to order it, direct that the testimony of all those who are likely to be conflicted and executed be taken. I regret that I have to say it, but I believe that there never was a time since the organization of our government that there was so much corruption and swindling, not only of the government and the people, but of the Indians, as it is today being practiced on Indian reservations on this Coast.
Very Respectfully Yours,
O. K. Luttrell, Member of the Third Congressional District" 290
