corrohorates the statesmets of Leavltt and
Bismarck" that Arensdorf is the murderer.
Ee saws the scheme was for Bismarck"
and himself to assault Haddock as he left
the livery stable and the others would fol
low them up and help them out. Granda
was in liquor, and somebody, he thinks,
gave him revolver. They went up to
Haddock in an abusive way. Grand, says
he was not going to shoot, and don't re-
member just how he held the revolver, but
at that moment Arensdorf rushed
up and grabbed the pistol as be
(Granda) was about to throw it on
the sidewalk and remarked: "You
are too drunk to shoot, you coward" Then
Arensdorf fired and Mr.. Haddock fell.
That night Arensdorf gave Granda and
Bismarck" 1925 each and told them to
leave town at once. But they tarried
awhile and got very drunk, and later were
put on the fat-boat by Fred Folger,
Grandats brother ill., law, butcher in the
city, and started down the river. About
twenty five miles down they were signalled
by horseman on shore. They went ashore
and found it was Folger. Folger gave
Mrs. Granda $125 more, and took "Bis-
marck" across the country 10 a small sta
ton, Where he left for San Francisco. Fol-
ger is also cousin 10 Kosnitski. Granda
and his wife continued their trip on the
boat to Kansas City.
