"Next he says what had better do,' MT. Fyler said he had better give himself up to the authorities of the town. Woodford then said Now come down with me; Mir. Tyler said, How did it happen? Woodford replied he came down and threatened me and swung around there, and ---; broke off the conversation; he then went out with Mir. Fyler and went down to the house, and told him to go down and noti- fly Mir. Tuttle's family; then Mir Fyier came back and told me had better go down; took my hat and went; as was going down Nelson Harrison and Chas. Seeley passed me- Saw Woodford and MT. Fyler when they turned into tho gate; some ways ahead of me saw Mir. Woodford stoop and pick up something and give it a toss didn't know what it was at that time; should think it was on the west side, not great ways from the gate > couldn't giye<he distance in feet. Nothing particular occurred when got there, couldn't get into the wing, so turned and went past the body ; no one around except Julius when passed the body, he stood by the great gate.
