ball, and not an ohIong ball. He con.
cluded so, from the nature of the
wound.

The threats were made the day af-

family having been mistreated by the
revenue officers.
JOHN HENRY FAG's TESTIMONY.
Was working for Hut. Amarine's
wife at the time Cooper was shot was
at Amarine's the day before Cooper
was shot. Wilson told him the day
before to go Tuck's and tell him to send
over his arms, gun and pistol. Did
not tell what they wanted with them.
He did not go to Tuck's. Did not get
any arms. Does not remember
whether they told him what they
wanted with them. Does not know
whose still it was. Does not know
who was running it. Was there once.
These three men were there, and no
one else. Saw Wilson's rifle and a
pistol; EN- nett had nothing. Saw
them next across the creek, on the
morning of the day that Cooper was
killed; these were Amarine, Wilson,
Emmett and Rasor; Wilson was stand
ing in the road, Amarine by a fence,
and Emmett was sitting down; ANA
rine and Wilson had guns.
He asked them if they had heard the
guns, and they said they hadn't. He
wanted to know what in the hell they
were shaking for. They said the
whisky had died out and they were
cold. It was in August. Never heard
Amarine and Emmett make any
threats. He didn't know what they
were watching out for.
CROSS EXAMINED.
Did not hear any guns that morn
ing. Thought the sun was about
three-quarters of an hour high when
he went to Amarine and his party.
Mrs. Amarine had walked him up and
sent him to them. He saw Amarine,
Wilson and Emmett the night before.
Saw some fodder there. Does not
know what time of night he left
them. Saw bed made. Found
them there the next morning. He in
formed Mrs. Am8rine the night be-
fore that they were across the creek.
RE.EXAMINED.
The fodder looked the same as when
it came out of the barn. The quilts
were lying on the fodder. He did not
ask them where they were going. He
saw them the next day up the creek.
They had their guns. He went to
Webb's at Mrs. Amarine's request and
found Cooper, and went and told
Amarine, and Amarine made reply,
which. on account of its indecency,
we are compelled to omit, but it |
it showed the luminosity of the party |
toward the Revenue official. Wilson |
told witness he was going to get away. |
He told them how bad Cooper was
shot.
