[1]Chamales had admitted to the murder and said that Arias had murdered Deforest so they could get money for the circus, Chamales then led the officers to the crime scene and reenacted the murder telling how Arias had pulled the trigger, killing De Forest. [2]Henry De Forest was murdered and robbed on the 28 April, 1877. Both men were brought back to Santa Cruz. Chamales petitioned for them not to be sent to the same cell.
