thought, you know, it wasa little lighter there an
parently than on the sidewalk, and broke out and
run, and made a devil Of noise running on the
sidewalk.
Odd you zee any light on the other side of tia
street in the window?
Ayes, sir. Where this man Horton lived?
Q.-Yes, sir.
A.-Mhere this man, Horton lived up there, il
appeared to me there were three windows-it ap-
peared to me-or four; three think, up stairs
AFTER they went in there they went TO these win.

pears 10 me they did and it appeared to me could
hear them talklng-this man and his wife taking
IL appeared to me go. can tell about that for
sure SO Charley O'Brien stopped there little
longer than did, may be, on the corner When
TINS Policeman, after he shot, said 'iOh r. | do
not Know whether he had his hands that way lird-
catesI or net could not say exactly whether /
seen MIN fall. do not think did. Charley stopped
about second longer, may be. They all could run
faster than | could. They all passed me to the
corner could rot run fast. think we turned
the first corner to the right, toward. the Folsom
road-toward the Folsom railroad We continued
on down that way, and when we had got down a
considerable ways we met man and two women
standing on the corner talking was behind them
some distance, and Anderson called me by name,
/" Jim, Jm,' and l was mad about his calling
ME by name; and he not satisfied he
must call me by name three or four times in front
OF this man that was there, and the two women.
They didn't know what to make of it hardly. And
started TO go diagOnaity right across from where
we was across the street. These other fellows were
continuing right straight down. And we got a
piece down, and we were all there together; and
the little dogs-some five dogs-started to bark and
make roise.
Q.-How far did you go away from where this &C.
Cured About how far had you got away from
where this occurred?
Al could not tell exactly.
Q.-Several blocks
A.-Yes sir. 1t appears to me we did Anyhow,
after we crossed, we came to a lane that was dark.
AS soon as we got there, said "Let us take up
this way" l thought we were less liable to
RUN AGAINST ANYBODY,
And right up in this lane there was house there,
and the dogs barked anu everything, and thought
some one might come out to see who it was and
would know me with my coat. We went right along
mp this lane, and it appeared to me We got over
fence into lot that was fenced in We bleaked in
to the right, and it brought US on to the street
across the railroad.
Odd you get some water there?
A.-This is after crossed the railroad We
crossed the railroad, anyhow, and went down in
this road suppose it is inside of the corporation
and We got to a hotel 1t looked to me like
hotel, and there is pump and well there-a pump,
think it is. l think it on the Stockton road
We was on. think it was, amt sure. 1 drank,
and think Anderson drank. l do not think the
others did. There is window right opposite this
well as near as that door p1inting). BY the
noise made there | thought some one
it was dark in ther1-I thought some
one would be locking out, and kept my hand to
my face. thought some might be looking out
and put my hands to my face. We got drink,
and st lred to go OF down the road and Just as we
were going along met wagon | think it was
milk-wagon am pretty near sure. As soon as
seen that SHE'D off from the wagon to the left.
He took towards the watering place. de di mt 90
to TIE watering place. but kept that side. SHE'D
off to the left because knowed if he was going TO
town he would hear OF this circumstance and get
clue of us going that way We kept on down the
road, and hurried off pretty quick.
WE WERE KIND OF TIRED,
And came to a lane that turned off to the left going
up to some fellows barn. We went up there,
think to the end Of it, and climbed over the fence
and after got the fence found ourselves in
plowed field. Alter got up there, % Now" said
|, i" the Stockton railroad must be eff here half
mile or Ii that is the way had better strike
the rold-the railroad" Anyhow we struck off
through this field it was big field AM it appears
to me there oaks scattered through. The
dogs and all this fuss behiud-the noise-made me
satisfied this fellow went along with the milk wagon
and hadn't seen Us turn up to this fence We felt
kind Of tired, and laid down under one of those
oaks in the Ehade-it was mooulis ht-and got
talking over the matter, and says 1, " How is it
about that fellow? Do you think YOU SHOT him in
a rough place.? He said " No; he thsught he
shot him up in the face" That is what he said.
Q--Wbo said that?
a.-Sa=s.as. ssist, :. By -, thu. pretty
rough job Tor one night to start in" Says l. eve
had better get out Of this quick as We can" We
struck then in the field until we got to the
railroad. We struck the Stockton railroad. Then
we walked along pretty fast the railroad snd we
COMMENCED To GET DRY.
And thought We would have something to eat, so
think we came to where the road crosses the rail-
road-the old Jackson road. ! amt sure. 1 think
the Sacramento and Jackson road. 1t is that road,
think. had been through that way along years
ago, and concluded it was the jackson road Right
at the corner, the left OF the corner across the
road, there windmill, or there had been
windmill. Any how the frame Of it was thereof
this windmill So some of them got to the house.
There was a house over there some where back from
this wihdHhRR --44Ys- got over the fence ard had
consultation under this ptsce---Shere this
windmill So Edwards and Anderson
vvayV on, tot ba bnr1 !;
get something to eat, bring up some grub you
boys wait here. Flynn said, al viii 60" | said
eco am liable to stumble over If 90 into any
place" Anyhow, they were not gone very long
until they came back, think with pail Of milk
/ amt sure. think it was full Of milk They
didn't get much OF anything there. While We were
there the train passed there-a freight train | do
not know but what two trains passed ain't sure
SO we struck of and we walked on pretty lively but
we stopped along in places and it occupied some
time And in the meantime Edwards threw away
the cartridges out of his revolver, and he put in
some cartridges of Anderson's. They were longer,
think, than his. He thought it was best to throw
these cartridges away. Anyhow we
WENT ALONG TO GAIT.
1t was late when got to Gait; towards morning,
l guess. 1t appeared to me SO, anyhow. We went
down through Gait / told them, eve are making
a bad break of this thing, going through all those
places" and something like that. Anyhow We went
down, and there is a brick store that stood on the
corner There is brick store on the corner it
looked to me store one Of the fist stores built in
the town. and prominent store for groceries and
SO on, very large store We tried the door OF that
store We didn't have anything with us, but VIC
tried it. We welt around it TO tho back place, the
back part of the store. told them there is quite a
crowd of US here, three four OF US and SAYS T.
Seeing all prowling around here In this way,
we arc liable to create suspicion. could see be-
fore we went around back OF the store could hear
good deal Of talking in two or three voices in houses
beyond. 1t looked like to me as II they were
saloons, drinking saloons or hotels. Anyhow we
| went TO the back of this store, ard
WE STRUCK LIGHT
/ And there was a big hatch there There wss a
cellar there and a hatch like, made OF Stats, and
| there was q stove stood top OF the hatch. We
| lit match, and looked down into this cellar any
how we didn't go into there. We up this alley
way; this in an alley, ard went up by five or
/ six or seven houses, so we concluded We would
il could get something there, and we looked
through the crack Of the fence and some of us was
| going TO 20 through there, and Anderson said,
q Give me leg up on the fence " that is 70 catch
| bin by the leg and push him up; and heard some
one inside Of the yard, and | said, :" lou
some in that yard there" | heard
/ fellow making noise thDk'he spoke. 1 40 not

store was that fret came TO. Anyhow, finally il
the latter end crossed the railroad track to
| another dwelling house, and we went TO approach
that dwelling house and there big dog there,

! cradle noise. We went to approach this place.

THIS DOG WOULD BARK
And we would have to creep back again. We thought
