In 1882 George Johnson legitimately purchased a horse. At least he thought he had. Johnson unknowingly bought the horse from the man who stole it. When Johnson was found in possession he was accused of horse theft. He was hanged despite his pleas that he had no prior knowledge the horse was stolen.

It wasn’t until after his death that it was determined he had told the truth. The epitaph on the marker serves as an exoneration of Johnson. He is buried in the Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona.

Front row left to right: "I'm not riding that donkey so don't try and make me." "I'm not even going to look at that donkey," "I'll ride it! I'll ride it right now!"
