"His own admissions."
"To whom?"
"Pretty nearly every person in the village. He told them all about it at the hotel. Word was brought to me and I went there. He repeated his story to me in great detail."
"What was done with the carcass?" demanded the justice.
"Part of it was eaten, the rest buried, according to the boy's statement."
"Did he take the antlers?"
"No, the antlers were buried. It seems the guide of the party was to return later and get the antlers out, after the season opens in October."
"Who was the guide?"
"Cale Vaughn. He is at home laid up with a broken ankle, else I should have had him here to give evidence, and perhaps to answer for the killing of the moose."
"He had nothing to do with the killing, did he?"
