]. Ford says: On the first trial Andy
Fleming, Madame Celicour, Richard
Joel Smith and two or three others,
whose names do not recollect, testi-
fed that was the. one that fired the
shot on Dumaine street, and that I
fired the fatal shots. Well, they were
right; did fire the fatal shots; I ran
down from the engipehouse at a rapid
stride quite as hard as could upon
hearing several shots fired. As soon as
I heard the shots I ran to the door Of
the engine-house. I saw crowd rush.
Ing In the direction OF Dumaine street.
There was a dense smoke and could
not we'll distinguish the persons, but I
saw one very tall figure, and, jumping
at conclusions, set it down for Capt.
Murphy. I saw him coming up Clai-
borne, in the direction of Dumatne
street, with pistol in hi> hand, and
he would have continued up Clai-
borne had he not seen ne. am
sure that the sight Of me made him
turn into Dumaine street, and he had
scarcely turned into Dumaine when l
cut across the street. Directly (and as
Fleming testided) fred on Murphy

side of Dumane at the first shot. l
crossed the street and overlook him
and followed him as described, until he
reached the little shed, where he fell.
Referetng to the conflicting testimony
on the trial, Ford said it was only
those witnesses who knew him and
Pat personally that testified correctly !;
that II was him and not Pat, who did
the shooting. When asked II there
was any conspiracy, Ford said "No;
not a bit of It. I went to the engine.

ran out, recognized Capt. Murphy and,
thinking thnt he had killed some
friend OF mine, (not the parties who
have been arrested), and that he was
escaping, shot at him. My feelings

Ford said "Pat on the trial &C.
