District Attorney Of Storey county and
William Langin. as follows:
My name Is Patrick Leonard; I have

ing from wounds made on my body BY. q
knife; my wounds are In the neck, alb
domen, bowels, breast and wrist; the
wound in the neck Is not 80 bad; those
wounds were inflicted upon me by q
man called Billy Laugin. (The prisoner
wa here brought to the bedside Of Pat
rick Leonard, and the said Patrick Leon.
ard identified the prisoner as the man
who inflicted the wounds.) Yes, that Is
the man; I wal way up in O street. some
place on @ street, I don't know the exact
place; the defendant came down from
Bodie; I gave him the hospitality of the
cabin and be stole 81 80 from me; out
Of that this scrape came; / told him
not to shake hands with me any
more: he stretched out his hand to
me: afterwards he stretched out his
again to shake hands with me and l hit
him; the first time / told him not to

| did not strike him at all after he drew
the knife; I couldn't strike him; alter
that he cut me so bad I was not able to
strike him; he was two or three feel

quarrel with him before this; / bad
known him only about three months,
only q short while; I knew him when
he went from Sutro to Bodie.
In answer to questions by the defend
ant, he said: I have simply stated the
truth; when I bit the defendant he
wheeled around aud cut me. (Hs says
to the prisoner. "You are q bad egg and
had no business to cut me.") l was on
the sidewalk unable to get up when we
were arrested, either on the ssw.dust
