Witness swore lie did not have any knowl-
edge OF any writ being out against him
when the men came: was not expecting
them to come much, but at the same time
rather did expect them; was fixing to leave
home in twenty-five minutes to 20 TO see
some people; run because he did not know
what these men wanted; lid expect {, be-
arrested on the aforementioned warrant:
didn't remain because he did not want to
be arrested; had been to Galloway's the
| Tuesday before the warrant was issued in
com pany with one Charley Green: Green
took him as a witness TO prove that Green
was not going 10 do Galloway any harm
ct seems that there had been some pre-
vious difficulty between Green and Gallo
way, but not bearing on this case il was
not brought out REPORTER
DID not 90 for any fuss and didn't want
any: no threats were made while there and
nobody dared Mr.. Galloway TO come out I'm
the road went To Tom McDanicls house
about one hundred yards from Gallowav's
saw man that night have been Galloway
pass by on horseback, and in answer 10
Green's inquiries, said he thought IT, was Dr. |
LOvett; didn't want any fuss; thought IL |
Green thought it was Galloway there would !
be a fuss, and as he, witness, didn't want
any fuss said he thought it was DR.. Lovett |
Green was armed with a pistol and double |
barrel; witness had pocket knife; this was |
about sun down; Green went about fifteen |
yards from Tom McDanicl's and asked Tom |
if lie saw Jim Galloway when he shot AT /
him; Tom said no Green and Witness then /
went down 10 where Green had been shot az |
about seYenty-fve or one hundred wards |
from Galloway's house they were in the /
road; Green wanted 70 20 farther but wit |
ness wouldn't go; didn't want any fuss |
LETT that neghborhood about sunset; were /
there about fifteen minutes will swear pos |
ltlvcly, to my best belief that | recognized |
Jones and Jim Germany in the party that |
came after me; did not recognize the bal
ance as they We're behind the house; they
said cd G-n him. shoot him" or catch |
him, but cant swear positively to what they
did say can't swear positively to anything
except that the crowd came there with guns
and run after me. but can't swear who thev
were; can't say who was ahead as ! did not
look behind to see; the reason I think | !
identified Germany Is that he afterwards
told me he saw me cock pistol when the |
men came; saw them riding around the
field after me; is not positive that he saw
either Jones or Germany.
By this time the witness had made so
many statements and contradictions thar
the counsel abstained from putting uues-
tons and, simply asked him 10 state what
he could swear to. The witness then swore
that peace warrant was out against him
That Jim Galloway had sworn ii out The
crowd came 70 his house and he broke and
ran. That he was positive Of nothing else
and can swear TO nothing else.
Did not make any affidavit against the
men, but when the affidavit was handed 10
him he swore 10 his signature on it. was
