! went to tell father of the shooting, and he said
he heard of 1t; Eagan came in with him; there
were dozen people outside when Eagau took
the pistols away, one or one and a half hours
after the shooting: he did not say what he was
going to do with them: have seen Stockton come
in and out the stores WIS not in the store

whisky were removed shortly after the shooting.

book on Saturday; on Monday they were shown
him.
Mr.. Cassidy-Please produce those dangerous
weapons.
The four and seven-barrel pistols were handed
down by the Alderman.

were in the desk in the private Office they were
there more than a month; never saw them
loaded they were not brought there to shoot
Mr.. Brooks with they have been in this rusty
condition all the time; Eagan said it would be
advisable to take these weapons away; don't

up from o'clock on Tuesday morning to after
in the afternoon; did not 90 back to the store.
