The document was signed by Dale and witnessed by Doc Coffin and Honey
Hoke:
The sheriff held the paper out to Chuck Morgan. "This Dale's signature, Chuck?"
Chuck Morgan examined the signature closely and long.
"Looks like it," he said, hesitatingly.
"It's his signature, all right," spoke up Honey Hoke. "I saw him sign it."
"Me, too," said Doc Coffin.
"Paper's dated to-day," said the sheriff. "How long before he was killed did Dale sign it, Luke?"
"About a hour," replied Tweezy.
"It's made out in yore writin', ain't it?" went on the sheriff.
"Shore," nodded Luke. "All but the signature. So, you see, Chuck," he continued, turning to Morgan, "you might as well pack him to yore house. We intend to take possession immediately."
