they got over into the field; they entered
Il below the bars; Ziba at II . time was
still On his horse and near tho bars he
WI, little to the west of Us; heard him
say nothing at that time saw Dan Balch
then, but did not ste Isaac III thinks
Quarter wa, then in the road; saw
Horace and John Gilman, Jr,, when they
met: Horace told him he must get out OF
the field Gilman replied he was going
they were then about a rod from the
road saw Young Gilman attempt To
wrench Hnracc'- gun away, after II was
presented al him, fully cooked; heard
Gilman say no more 10 Horace; when
Horace pointed the gun at Gilman they
were but three or four feet distant did
not see Gilman take hold Of Horace; did
no, sec him put his hands ON Horace
neither did | see Gilman reach to his
pocket; as soon AS Gilman let 20 OF the
gun Horace fired can swear positively
that Gilman had relinquiShed his hold on
the gun when Horace fired heard no
such expression from Iiba Plumlcy 10 the
effect, d" For Gods sake don't fire any
more :" have not told Mary 'plumley or
any one else since | was in Jail that Ilha
had cutrcatcd the bclligercnts to cease
firing he picked up stone in the field
and told me To stand back; when the
fight commenced Isaac II. Baloh was flf-
teen or twenty rods west of me IN the
road; he went over into Dan Balchs
field: did not again see him until after
the aifray was over; he Was then IN Dan :
field, distant about the same had no con-
Norsation with Balch or the other men
present, further than that il was too bad
the young man was killed my aim was
10 get the old man Balch home, and he
soon started George Butterfly and |
never had any trouble.

when the alteration took place between
Horace and Gilman. Jr,, heard Iiba say
">hoo, him" after which the gun was
raised into position and fired, when
young Gilman frll could not see Gil.
