been any trouble between them. Pressey tes-
fled as to meeting the rest OF the boys on the
evening OF October 9th, aud as to their where
abouts until they arrived at the Dyer orchard.
B fore going there Brown proposed to get some
piles. Or the way Brown made his boast
thas be did not care who might be in the
orchard. The boys agreed to try and frighten
him. They proposed to get gun and fire in
the orchard. They wanted Sawyer. one of the
respondents to get his gun, but Sawyer said
his gun was loaded. 1t was proposed that he
should get his gun, which he did. He then
went to the Hatch orchard in company with
Met Straw and was there told by some of ii o
boys that Frank Hooper was watching for
them. They then went to the Dyer orchard
and went in, and there fred three shots. He
then came cut of the orchard and was talking
with Fred Grindle who proposed that they 60

around the hedge, and when he got within l5
20 feet of the boys he said ''now boys have
got you" They all ran except Brown, who
spraug upon him snd grabbed the gun. He
then spoke to him and said, "Frank this is me
and that + ank replied, II don't give damn
if this is me-" He had not more than got the
words from his mouth before the gun was dis
