going and we passed the man as if we
had been ordinary motorists.

We looked back and saw the man
had mounted and was following us on
the road. We could still see him as we
came to the barns. Gallagher and a
group of men were standing behind
the barn on the edge of the road, and
we pointed back as we passed them.

As we were still in view of the horse-
man, the chief said he would go past
the barns and around the corner
where the road turned. It was just a
few hundred yards and as soon as we
were out of sight, we stopped the car
and ran back to the barns.

Hawkins had continued until he
came even with the edge of the barn
when the posse jumped him. When he
saw the group around him his hand
flew to the revolver in his belt, but
before he could draw it from the
holster, a special constable reached up
and tore the belt and all from him.
Meanwhile he was covered with rifles
in the hands of the others. The chief
and I reached the group just as he
was being handcuffed.

The prisoner was driven to the
lock-up at Williams Lake, and on the
following day was taken to the 153
Mile House, where an inquest was
held. The verdict of the jury was that
Bernard Duggan had come to his
death by gunshot wounds inflicted by
“Happy” Hawkins.

After a preliminary hearing the
accused was brought to trial at the
spring assizes at Prince George. The
jury found him guilty of man-
slaughter and he was sentenced to 15
years imprisonment.

It was learned that on the morning
of the killing, Hawkins had gone to
the corral, where he was met by
Duggan, who had just arrived and
was still on his horse. They quarrelled,
one thing led to another and Hawkins
had pulled out his revolver and fired.
Duggan toppled from his horse dead.
Hawkins had then dragged him to-
wards the trees and when stopped by
the fence he returned and got wire
cutters and cut a gap in the fence. He
then pulled the body through and
hid it behind the log. His only
thought was flight, so he saddled his
pony and took off down the road,
stopping at Crosina’s store to buy
some ammunition for his revolver and
a few chocolate bars.

It turned out that Hawkins had a
criminal record in the United States,
and had come to the Cariboo to hide
from the law South of the Border. * *
