The confession reportedly by Hinton led sheriffs and citizens to a deserted mine where a foul odor confirmed a missing man’s death. Warner Bird was jailed as an accessory after a volunteer, Sanders, found Coleman’s body. Funeral services were held at First Baptist in Wellington for Coleman, born January 27 1885, survived by a wife and three children, with many attendees and final rites at Wellington cemetery.
