HIST: McAllister Manuscript, by Sarah McAllister Hartman pg 40 (handwritten): "...then we saw our older sis & bro-in-law coming to us... beyond bridge. Indians slowly crowded over bridge to meet them... they advanced, gave peace sign. Indians reluctantly let them pass; crossed bridge, came toward front gate, every part of which was lined with painted ugly Indians; like a pack of hungry wolves panting and thirsting for our blood; but afraid to attack, knowing only too well with whom they had to deal. Came in & greeted us most tenderly... we saw in their faces something more than fright; a horror we could feel but didn't know and they very unwisely kept it from us. Sis very kind... not let us talk to mother saying "mother not well - talking annoy her". Clipwaleon & Joe (bro-in-law) went to join boys still parleying with Indians outside... Joe & boys sat on floor with backs to wall & got what rest they could... boys hastily ate some food then accompanied by Joe sneaked out & went to hunt for team..."
pg 9 (typed version): "...Indian brought in at midnight, to take him out at 3:00 am. Came & stood trial, confessed that he & another Indian had killed father. Lights went out, shots heard. When relighted, Quilemuth shot & stabbed. Cleared Indian who killed father, but they tried every way to kill those who killed Quilemuth.
Early Hist Thurston Co, WA R929.741 B611Es pg 33: "...Qui-ee-muth, Leschi's bro, captured & guarded overnight. ...a man burst into room, shooting Indian & then stabbing him. Man not identified but impression gained credence that Joseph Buntin, s-i-l of McAllister committed the deed..."
