 The next day, Wyatt Earp and another deputy took Brocius to the county jail in the county seat of Tucson, possibly saving him from being lynched when White later died (at the time, Tombstone had a one-room wooden jail very near the scene of the shooting, which was famous for its flimsiness).White lingered for two days, dying on October 30, 1880.However, prior to his death, he gave testimony that ultimately led to Brocius being cleared of any wrongdoing.
