Cabo Mariano Peguero [leaf n20 reads 'Peguero'; was catalogued 'Higuera'], imprisoned, accused of stabbing the civilian Anastasio Albiso (3 Sep 1829, at/near Mission San Juan Bautista). Vivid verbatim narrative: a quarrel over a sarape by Higuera's horse escalated to a knife fight — Higuera 'metió el puñal en el hueso de entre el hombro y el pescuezo.' Depositions before Alcalde José Tiburcio Castro, Regidor Feliciano Soberanes; the wound treated by the surgeon Jorge [George] Allen (foreigner) who reports Albiso out of danger by the 19th; witnesses Paulino Serra, Nicolás Albiso, Manuel Boronda. Fiscal: crime proved, deserves grave punishment. Orig. pp.601–626.
