-
was a man of gigantic size who rejoiced in the name of Holden,
-
called Judge Holden of Texas.
-
Who or what he was no one knew, but
-
a more cool-blooded villain never went unhung.
-
He stood six foot six in his moccasins, had a large, fleshy frame,
-
a dull, tallow-colored face destitute of hair and all expression,
-
always cool and collected.
-
But when a quarrel took place and blood shed, his hog-like eyes would
-
gleam with a sullen ferocity worthy of the countenance of a fiend.

-
Terrible stories were circulated in camp of horrid crimes committed by
-
him when bearing another name in the Cherokee nation in Texas.
