NEVADA DEMOCRAT JANUARY 6, 1858 3
was cut, cut. I put my hand around him and helped him into the house, and then ran to the ball room and
called out the Doctor. Enders was laid on a settee and the Doctor dressed his wound. There was no
difficulty in the bar room before Enders tried to shut the door. I was not present at the cutting. G. went out
of the door and left directly after the cutting. [Rush] Skidmore was with G. when he returned after the
first scuffle.
Cross-Examined.—Enders had not been drinking that I know of. That was a public ball at Carter’s,
and any respectable man who paid for his ticket could go in. Enders was there as an intimate friend of
Mrs. Carter’s. Goldburg told Enders that he had his ticket when E. tried to pull the door shut, and E. then
said that he would like to see him go in. The scuffle at the door was over in a moment. I went out about
two or three minutes after Goldburg had gone. Enders said he wanted to see G. when he and I walked
down towards G.’s house. He did not say what for. I went along for company. Enders was at that time
some little excited. We did not see G. when we went down. Enders asked me to go back as my wife had
sent for me and I might make her uneasy if I went down street with him. I had been back at the house
five, ten or fifteen minutes before I saw Goldburg again. Enders had not got back to Carter’s when
Goldburg returned after going to his house. Enders must have been near at hand when I entered the house.
He made no threats against G. when we were going down, and did not say, in my hearing, that he could
whip any man who associated with Rosenheim. I heard Enders say “Where is the d—d son of a b—h?”
Soon after I saw Goldburg go out of the house. A short time after that Enders and I went down towards
Goldburg’s. Enders is about five feet ten inches high, and weighs about 180 pounds, and is a muscular
man. I asked Enders whether I might go with him when he started down towards Goldburg’s. I was a little
fearful that he might have some trouble.
In Chief Resumed.—Goldburg looks stouter than Enders, but the latter is more muscular. I did not
see Enders have any weapons, and he had none when IJ examined his person after he was cut.
Henry Brenton.—I was present at the ball at Carter’s. I went into the bar room and heard a fracas;
went out to see what it was, and heard Enders say that Goldburg wanted to get into the ball, but had no
ticket; said that G. said he had bought a ticket, but hadn’t it with him. Goldburg opened the door, and
Enders said, “I want this door shut.” Goldburg said that he had paid his money and could do as he
pleased. They then went out. Enders was a little excited and went down the street towards Goldburg’s,
and then came back. Afterwards he went up to Goldburg and said, “Louis, you have insulted me,” and
then Goldburg ran the knife into him. Goldburg was outside of the door when Enders spoke to him about
being insulted. Enders came from down town, laid his hand on Goldburg and said, “Louis, you have
insulted me,” and then Goldburg, with his left hand, struck him with a knife. I was about six or eight feet
from them at the time. Goldburg stabbed Enders the moment that E. laid his hand on him. I did not see G.
have a knife before the cutting. (Cross-Examined). I am in the employ of Enders. I heard him say after
Goldburg left, “Where is the d—d son of a b—h?” and he also said he would whip G. if he saw him.
When we returned to Carter’s there were four of us together—Brooks, Holland, Enders and myself.
Enders said he would lick Goldburg for insulting him; that he did not allow any man to insult him. The
first thing Enders did when we came up to Carter’s porch was to put his hand on Goldburg and say, “You
have insulted me.” I grabbed hold of G. after E. said he was stabbed. This happened between 11 and 12
o’clock at night. After Enders was stabbed they remained together but a few moments. I went down to
Goldburg’s house to see what was going on. I swear positively that I did not touch Goldburg until after he
had stabbed Enders. There were eight or ten men around when Enders slapped Goldburg on the shoulder,
and they could all see what was going on. I saw Enders, before he laid his hand on Goldburg, walk up to
him, lay his coat off, and say, “Now I am going to lick you—you son of a b—h.” Enders had nothing in
his hand then. After Enders was cut he picked up a stick, struck at Goldburg, and hit Holland’s hand,
