some of the bodies flowed all the way to lewiston, idaho, where the crime was discovered. other bodies may have floated clear out into the pacific and were never found at all. there were nearly three dozen who were killed, the fact number wasn't known. there were a lot of chinese mining in the canyon, you know, at various locations. and the area was so remote that no sheriff really wanted to go in there to investigate the crime. there were seven in the gang, and the young man who turned state's evidence named frank vaughn which is a very well known name even today and in the testimony before the grand jury, he'd implicated all of the others for the crime. but by the time the matter came to a trial, then he'd changed his testimony, and he blamed just the, those -- well, i should go back just a little bit. of the six killers, three of them were caught, three others escaped including the ringleaders. and so frank vaughn during the trial pinned the crime on those who had escaped and said the three others who were caught were not innocent, had nothing at all to do with it. one
