This document provides the records of an investigation of a murder. Testimony is recorded from those who discovered the body of Gaspar de la Cruz, an Indian, lying in the road, an apparent victim of gun shot wounds. There follows a record of the disposition of the body, the rudimentary autopsy performed, efforts to fix the time of death, and testimony of acquaintances who might be able to provide information as to possible enemies of the victim. The document is useful in reconstructing Police proceedures of the time. (C. Needham) (1975)
