"Brother,you have merited death! The hatchet or the war-club shall finish your career! When I begged of you to follow me in the fortunes of war,you was deaf to my cries-you spurned my entreaties! Brother! You have merited death and shall have your deserts! When the rebels raised their hatchets to fight their good master,you sharpened your knife,you brightened your rifle and led on our foes to the fields of our fathers! You have merited death and shall die by our hands! When those rebels had drove us from the fields of our fathers to seek out new homes,it was you who could dare to step forth as their pilot,and conduct them even to the doors of our wigwams,to butcher our children and put us to death! No crime can be greater! But though you have merited death and shall die on this spot,my hands shall not be stained in the blood of a brother! Who will strike?"
