"The way we look at history is changing. Until now we could only study history, now with science we can investigate it. After we did a modern CSI at the courthouse, we know what the evidence supports. Historians were at a disadvantage until now, they were unable to develop the evidence we can today. They did not have the advantage of seeing Bell’s blood on the floorboards, which told the story. As for the shooting at Agua Negra we do know what the evidence tells us happened. The spent cartridges, their location, even the caliber gives up clues as to what happened. When you combine the work of the Historian with the work of the CSI team and the Detectives, we can know what happened at Agua Negra at dusk, March 9, 1878. One of the most interesting things of the investigation was to talk with Mr. Cooper who owned the ranch where the crime scene was located. In about 1940, Mr. Cooper was buying the ranch and a Mr. Hazelwood gave him the tour. I was in the truck with Mr. Cooper when we pulled out of the creek, he pointed over to two rectangle shaped rocks and said, “Those cowboys are buried over by those rocks.” He had already impressed me with the knowledge of this event but to tell me where Morton and Baker were buried set me back. Not one living historian that I know of has been to the killing field, with the exception of David Turk, who was with our detectives. The location is in the backwaters of no where, even today. I asked how he knew where the grave was located. He said, “Mr. Hazelwood told me.” Mr. Cooper said Hazelwood was eight-years old when this happened, and he and two other boys rode their horses down here and came up on men burring the bodies. Mr. Cooper chuckled when he told me what Hazelwood said, "They were damn sure dead." I was leaning on the truck talking to a man who had heard the story from an eyewitness, it was amazing. I've been interviewing people for years and it was clear, Mr. Cooper was not trying to impress me and was not embellishing the story, he was quoting what Hazelwood told him. In 1940 Hazelwood was 70 years old and telling Mr. Cooper what he saw 62 years before in this very spot. History tells us Baker fell first as they were running away. Morton was killed out by the rectangle rocks. Hazelwood saw where they had drug Baker up to where Morton was laying by the rocks. The bodies were piled one on top of the other. The man on top wore a dark colored shirt, Hazelwood said looking back he could not say if it was dark because of being blood covered or a dark colored shirt. Mr. Cooper pointed out the general area Hazelwood told him the grave was located. Detectives came back later with Ground penetrating radar and located the single grave where they were both buried. The dead men were thrown into one grave and buried. Baker on the bottom and Morton on top. Now I know your saying, “How do you know that?” The burial detail drug Baker over to where Morton had been killed. Hazelwood said the man on top had a dark colored shirt, that would be Baker. When they drug him to Morton they would hot have laid Baker down and then put Morton on top, they would have drug Baker over and slid him on top of Morton. When they buried them, they would have taken the man on top and put him in the grave first, the man on top would have been Baker. They would have slid Morton off into the grave and covered it up. Walking away without marking the grave. They were hired to bury them not hold a service and mark the grave. This why I say in the grave we will find Morton on top and Baker under him."
