A man is induced by his wife to strangle her sister, and is in turn put to death in a horrible manner, or so it was rumored.
In October, 1902
The San Francisco Examiner wrote about a remarkable story of "savage superstition". It read like the tales of torture and Indian justice related in James Fennimore Cooper's Indian stories. It came to light among the Mojave Indians who lived along the Colorado River in Arizona about an incident of love, jealousy, superstition, murder and finally a terrible death to the offending Indian. It all combined to make a story of unusual interest and cruelty, astonishing even with those familiar with the tragedies of the mountain and desert in the great Southwest.
