draw a six shooter and said
 Here is our game" The firing
 immediately commenced, think tha
 there were three or four shots fired
 before I saw Levy in the act of running
 diagonally across the street; l was sc
 bewildered that did not recognize Lev!
 till he spoke; when I did recognize hin
 he was in the act of falling immediate
 ly in front of the barber pole, oppOsit,
 the Palace Hotel; as he fell he raiseC
 both arms and exclaimed 'Oh my God
 has it come to thisr think that two shots were fired after this. IknOw that one of the two parties who passed mt
 fired the last shots; think that car identify him; I did not see him shoot nor dId see him have any arms; both of the men that passed me were shoot ing during this time.
