door, so did not notice their converse
ton. When / first came out saw Mr..
Pearson with a revolver and a pretty
large knife, holding them both up in

notice Of it. Pearson then shouted:

pistol in his hand and told
the others to get out of his
way. Borrowman and Hartly were
there; Mr.. Pearson rode out into the

was making the horse go as fast as he
could; l then returned to the body;
there was a big crowd there then; it
was aboIt two minutes after the shoot
ing when ] again went to the body; the
man was dead, but I thought I saw a
little respiration. l remained out there
with the body about ten or fifteen min
utes; he was dead then; no signs of life,
the body was laying on its back with its
mouth open. I saw the wound next
morning at the court house. 1gF- 80

Objection overruled Perception taken.
MTTNEss-The next morning I went
into the room where the body lay. I
helped undress and wash the body.
There was wound near the pituOf the
stomach; l looked at the back to see if
the ball had gone through. It looked
dark; there was no other mark about it. !
This was the same body that l saw the !
day before-spoken of as Green's.
To Mr.. HIGHTON, witness stated |

only as citizen should do. He signed |
