      A. K. Drollinger -- Saw Stephen Hodges on the Friday evening before the murder of John Miller; Thomas Brown was with him, near my house, it was on a by-road, it was seven miles from Leisi's, it was about half an hour by sun, met them in the road. Stephen Hodges first, Brown had gone to the sugar camp fence and was pointing his gun to kill a squirrel, Stephen inquired for two stray yoke of oxen, said one was a large red ox with a large bell on, that they had lost them just below Fort Madison, had strayed from some movers they were in company wit, who were then camped just below Devil Creek bridge, only described one big red ox, said they were calculating to stay all night with the movers at the bridge, passed by Stephen Hodges when Brown came up, he first inquired for one yoke of oxen yoked up; Brown had the gun, did not notice whether a rifle or shot gun; Brown had a large bowie knife in his pantaloons fastened to a piece of cloth around his neck. I took hold of it to pull it out, he jumped back drew it out and showed it to me, asked him what he did with it, said he had it for "greens." Brown inquired where I lived, pointed my house out to him; asked if I was married, told him I was, asked how they could get back to Madison, and not to go over the same ground; told them which way to go, they went a different way, went up the bluff where cattle do not range. Harvey Hart was with me, this was about two miles above Devil Creek bridge, they were coming from the bridge and going towards West Point, the last time I had seen them before Stephen was living in Nauvoo, and Thomas two miles above, about six months before, said they were in company with three movers who had come from Ohio. Brown stated they were going back to Devil Creek bridge that night to stay all night. Brown's hair is, I think black and he wears it tolerably long. he had on no vest, he had on a sack coat, it was mixed Ky. jeans, had on a fur cap; Stephen Hodges had on a cap just like this one (showing the cap found at Leisi's) think it had no fore piece, the fur was before: noticed the torn place, if there was a fore piece it was behind or even over his shoulder. Stephen was in his shirt sleeves and had his coat on his arm, knew Thomas Brown better than Wm. had not seen Wm. for a year.
