Hunt, Joseph
Joseph Hunt – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – October 30, 1879 – Fatal Accident – At an early hour on Monday morning a man was found in an unconscious condition lying under the bridge across the Arkansas near the smelter. He had, to all appearances, been lying there since the previous evening, and from his position he is supposed to have been walking across the bridge, and to have fallen through. He struck the ground near the edge of the water, and when found was cold and stiff. He was removed to the county hospital, where everything possible was done for him by Dr. Ashcom, the county physician. He lay all day upon a bed there, blood and froth issuing from his mouth, and finally in the evening died without reviving. He was recognized as a man named Hunt, who had formerly worked at the smelter. Colorado Weekly Chieftain – October 30, 1879 – Whisky Did It – Inquest Upon the Body of Joseph Hunt – Dr. P. R. Thombs, coroner, held an inquest yesterday morning upon the body of Joseph Hunt, who was found at an early hour on Monday morning, insensible and almost frozen under the bridge across the Arkansas near the smelter. The coroner's jury consisted of Messrs. Chas. B. Dunbaugh, M. Sullivan, T. R. Jones, D. A. Phillips, Frank Clark, and M. Studzinski. Mr. C. W. Edwards testified that he had known the deceased for about ten years. He came from Europe and worked for witness' father in a livery stable at Des Moines, Iowa. He had also been employed at the smelter and by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company. He was troubled with some disease contracted while serving in the English army in India. Witness was of the opinion that Hunt was a little crazy. Mr. J. L. Kennedy stated that as he came from work at six o'clock on Monday morning. He saw the deceased lying under the railroad bridge and heard him groan. The witness came up and found Constable Zimmer and went after Hunt. Some Mexicans had carried him to their house. Hunt had been drinking on Sunday. When found he was lying on his face. Constable Zimmer testified to bringing the man up to the jail, and finding a watch and other articles on his body, which he turned over to the sheriff. Dr. Ashcom stated that he had examined the body and concluded that Hunt died from concussion caused by the fall from the bridge and exposure. Thought he must have been under the influence of liquor. During the afternoon he lifted his head and shoulders when he had a slight convulsion. He seemed perfectly stiff and it was impossible to get his pulse up. Could find no bones broken. Dr. Duke concurred with Dr. Ashcom as to the cause of death. The jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the facts.

Hunter, William T.
William T. Hunter – Colorado Public Defender - December 10, 1920 - George R. Bosko (a.k.a. Bosco), Pueblo. W-W. Hanging/Broken neck. Bosko was executed for the murders of William T. Hunter and Elton C. Parks. Bosko's brother and accomplice, Tom, was under eighteen years of age at the time of the crimes, and because of his young age, he received a sentence of life imprisonment, rather than death, for his role in the crimes. Parks, a car salesman, was demonstrating a new car to Hunter, a ranch owner, when they picked up the two brothers. The brothers then shot the victims and stole the car. Bosko, age twenty-eight, worked as a ranch hand, had no prior arrests, and had served in the Army for three years. Upon his arrest, he gave a full confession, and at his arraignment he pleaded guilty. The convictions were affirmed on appeal. The Lieutenant Governor delayed the execution for five months so physicians could evaluate Bosko's sanity. At the time of the execution, Bosko's mother “is said to have suffered a collapse . . . and was not expected to live thru [sic] the night.” Fort Collins Courier – December 11, 1920 – Confessed Murderer Is Hung At State Penitentiary Friday Night at 9:08 O'Clock; Death Penalty Is Paid For Murder of “Good Samaritan” Autoists On Pueblo Highway – By Associated Press – Pueblo, Dec. 10. – George T. Bosko, confessed murderer of E. C. Parks and Will Hunter of Pueblo, was executed in the state penitentiary at 9:08 tonight according to advices received here from Canon City. Prison officials refused to give out any of the details of the execution only that the prison chaplain was present. It is reported by friends of Bosko's mother that she has suffered a collapse and is not expected to live thru the night. The following is the history of the crime for which he paid the death penalty tonight: George T. Bosko, 25 years old, and his brother, Thomas Bosko, 18, left Pueblo on April 10, 1919, without funds and looking for employment on ranches in that vicinity. On April 11, near Rye, Colo., while walking along the road, they encountered an automobile driven by Elton C. Parks, in which William T. Hunter was a passenger. Parks permitted the two pedestrians to ride in the car. The two men occupied the rear seat. Eighteen miles from Pueblo, according to his own confession, George Bosko drew a revolver and shot and killed Parks and Hunter. The brothers escaped to Utah, where they were arrested on May 16 at Kenilworth, after a chase of three days in the hills. George Bosko, soon after his arrest, confessed to the double murder, declaring he committed the crime to secure funds. The younger Bosko also confessed to his part in the killing. On June 19, 1919, a jury in Pueblo sentenced George Bosko to hang and Thomas Bosko to life imprisonment. Several reprieves were granted by the lieutenant governor, the last reprieve expiring on December 2, when acting Governor George Stephen announced he would grant no further extension of time.
