he saw NJ. Grandy, across the way
and stopped to talk with him

"You are the man want to see," and then
some general nversstio1 took place regard
ing what Lewis had head that the witness
had been saying about him. Lewis then
said Green had parted Henry Carter and his
wife. and that il he ever came between him
and Harriet (his wife) he would kill him II he
landed in hell the next minute. That was
about a week after Lewis had shot at Michael
Liyhtfoot. Witness then gave an account OF

friends now; he didn't have better
friend in town than Lewis had been to him
