Series XV Daniel McNaughton papers (Grand Rapids, Michigan, History and Special Collections):
...In Sept.-Oct. 1865 [Daniel McNaughton] was in Denver, serving as the court martial of Charles W. Squires.
"October 5, 1865 – Just days before the commencement of his court-martial trial, Private Charles W. Squier escapes from the Denver jail with the help of three conspirators. Over the years, several alleged sightings of Soule’s murderer are reported, but Squier will never be brought to justice. Squier, who was harbored by his elder half-brother and noted archaeologist, E.G. Squire, drifted for a number of years in the East until his death in 1869 from injuries suffered in a railroad accident in New York."
