"The prisoners are a decidedly hard-looking quartette. Clark is about five feet six inches high, medium complexion, slender build, and about 32 years of age. Quince is about 38 years old, dark complexioned, near six feet in height, and weighs about 160 pounds. Smith is also dark complexioned, five feet eight inches high, sharp nosed, and is slightly lame in the left leg. Stirer is aged about 38, is 5 feet 9 inches high, light complexioned, very small eyes, prominent nose, heavy build, and walks with a swagger. He keeps his eyes on the floor most of the time, but occasionally glances up without raising his head. Smith and Quince were chained together by the feet; Stirer and Clark each had a set of irons on. When spoken to they would seldom reply, and when they did it was in a most surly tone. They evidently think the game is up with them, and are as sullen as though the death penalty had already been pronounced. In the afternoon their Irons were taken off' by a machinist and the men took a bath. The manacles had been fastened on by ą blacksmith at Panguitch, Garfield County, this precaution being taken that they might be given no chance of escape."
