"In 1914 Mervyn Johnston and his brother-in-law William John Moore left Ireland and went to Bisbee, Arizona to seek a new life. He had come with a letter of introduction to the pastor of the First United Methodist Church. He was a member of good standing of the Free and Accepted Order of Masons and the Orangemen, a fraternal Irish group.
A farmer in his native land, Johnston filed claim for a homestead in the Sulphur Springs Valley when he arrived in the new world.
Working as a miner, he went to the property and was shot by Cy West. The coroners inquest showed that Johnston, standing outside the closed door to Wests cabin, was killed by a shotgun blast to the head. His hands were in his pockets when he fell.
West, indicted for first-degree murder, was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced from between two and a half to 10 years in prison.
Both men had claimed possession to a 160-acre section of land.
The door through which the shot went was ordered to be brought to the trial to help the jury reach a decision."
