until Wednesday to file answer.
The cross-examination Of James Nc
Govern was resumed:
I stepped back about the time Of hear
ing, not the first report that I heard, but
the second report, or about that time; l
might have remained OF seconds in
the place where was when heard the
first report before I stepped buck s or 6
feet; don't think after l had stepped
back 5 or feet that I remained in the
position that l then occupied to any
length of time; went down the street
about Is feet, and closer to the sidewalk,
within to G feet; could not exactly
say how long remained in that posi-
tion-in my judgment, perhaps min
ute, perhaps three minutes; saw Smith
Gray; when frst saw him I was talking
to George Hill; first saw him from the
edge of the sidewalk in front of Lewis
store; when / heard the first report was
distant 20 feet, about there somewheres;
when I heard the report of the shot
which King fred. was standing about
Is feet further down. from three to six
feet from the sidewalk; I had been stand
ing in that position when King fired; il
might have been half minute, more or
less; King, when first noticed him on
that occasion. was talking to Ryan, or
having some words; no one called my
attention to King and Ryan; happened
to see them by hearing some loud talk;
they had not clinched when saw them;
after looked at them it was three OF
four seconds. perhaps more before they
clinched; King was standing at that time
on Lewis sidewalk; King was standing
as near a. could Judge. about the mid.
die Of the sidewalk; Ryan was standing
little above on the sidewalk; McDon-
aid at the time was little above Ryan,
further back towards the store; Melon
aid was standing from two to six feet
from Ryan and King; he (McDonald)
stepped forward and caught Ryan; before
heard the report OF the frst shot Nc
Donald had caught hold Of Ryan 3 pistol;
half minute more or less, could not
say exactly how long; l started from
where was talking with Mr.. Hill imme-
diately, AZ soon as l saw King and Ryan
clinch, or about that time; l mean BY
about that time, perhaps about or Sec
onds before they clinched or afterwards.
II could have been longer or less than 5
or 6 seconds before they clinched before
started; don't think started before
