Dr. Baird moved that the clause in

likely TO decrease, but on the other hand
to be rather increased during the coming

Doc Alexander OF that time was standing
about from four to six feet from the door
about the chow case; he started to come
to the door, told him to keep back that
there was pistols drawn and there was
going to be . row; the drug store was
Doc Aiexander's; We partly gave our
opinion then and there as to how many
shots were fred on that occasion; W.

what testimony was material; Smitl
