shooting defendant stood in front of the
door did not see Pinkham as | looked out
of the door; did notssee Pinkham till he lay
"a the ground at the end of the porch |
did not see Pinkham when Patterson made
the remark don't you draw" or !" will you
draw 2" Agnew was sitting by me on stool;
the remark was not made in loud tone of
voice had been there about ten minutes );
d do not know to whom the remark referred !;
it was tbe first had seen of Patterson that
day from where sat, | could not see the
fash of Patterson's pistol; if Pinkham had
been standing in front of the door | would
likely have seen it the shots were iD rapid
succession do not know with whom Pat
terson was drinking when he made the re-
mark quoted above; about five other men
were were present; | think the remark
heard was "Dont yon draw" saw Patterson
draw his pistol he made the remark as he
stepped out; think he had drawn or was
drawing as he made the remark think it
was after-not positivc-it was about the
time; watched him after he made the re-
mark-not till then !; think he had the pis-
tol in his hand as be made the remark but
am not certain: the affray occurred on Sun
day evening; ] went that evening to Cold
Stream House and thence to Boise Valley
do not entertain any hostile feelings towards
the defendant.
D. T, COTE SwoRN-I saw Pinkham at
the Warm Springs / heard some shoot
ing was on the stoop heard Mr..
Patterson say You will draw on me,
you old son -,p or some such word as

but jumped over the bannisters below when.
next saw them, Patterson was standing
near the horse rack and Pinkham was lying
at the foot of the steps ! heard three or
four shots do not know who fred them !;
the first two shots were in quick succession !;
can't tell from the report whether it was the
man nearest or farthermost from me who
fred first; the talk in the bar-room, half an
hour before, supposed to be addressed to
Pinkham, but do not know Pinkham came
out of the house at the time of the CONVEX
sation did not hear Pinkham addressed by
name; the talk was loud can'tsay whether
or not heard both the voices of Pinkham|
and defendant, not being suficiently,acquaint-
ed with their voices. When nextsaw Pater-
son, he appeared to be fixing or superintend-
ing horse; several men were standing
around, whom / did not know; some of
them were saddling horse; | did not hear
any remark before Irving sold me to look
out The second shot followed the first about
as long after as it would take to cock pistol
heard three shots; | saw revolver about
Pinkham's person while he was lying on the
ground; when the body was removed into
the house, we examined the pistol two of
the chambers were empty 81 am not positive
whether the chamber on which the hammer

chambers empty; did not examine the cham
Der on which the hammer rested | saw
Pinkham on the porch some time before rY
ing was there when he told me to "look

CHARLES VAJEN SwoRN-Was at Warm
