Boudoir card photograph of five Apache Indians, the center subject with a red "X" over his head, with the corresponding description on verso Nah-deiz-az/ Murdered Lt. Seward Mott/ To be hung Dec. 27, 1889. The man on the far left is marked with a "2" and he is described on verso as Bi-the-ja-be-tish(?)-to-ce-aw/ Murdered Herman J. Casper near Globe in 1888. Sentenced for life and escaped. Nah-deiz-az was condemned for the murder of Lieutenant Seward Mott, who was serving as chief of police at San Carlos. Mott had arrested Nah-deiz-az's father for refusing a work order, which the son claimed was unfair because his father was crippled. Mott then attempted to arrest Nah-deiz-az for questioning his authority, and the Apache drew a revolver, killing him. This photograph descended in the family of William Wallace Chapel (1839-1922), who operated a trading post and served as postmaster at San Carlos, Gila County, Arizona Territory, ca 1886-1890. Condition: Excellent condition with red ink markings on the surface of the image.
