"His confession & evidence proved him guilty of the murder of Chas. Moore, Sheriff of Yuba County, -- of the murderous assault & robbery of Mr. Jansen in this city, & of the Captain of the brig Jas. Caskie in this harbor -- of the robbery of the custom house at Monterey -- besides numerous other robberies & murders. No criminal was ever more daring or successful -- more reckless or cold blooded. He was a Sydney convict, transported for life for forgery. His last words were 'I die resigned -- my sentence is just.'"
