not say who opened the door; Walt
Salisbury and SilcOx both took hold of
| the grub-hOe; saw both of their hands
on the grub-hOe; did not see SllcOx
| take his revolver out or shoot: am sure
| they both took hold of the grub-hoe;

and SilcOx stepped right in; saw Pete
| SincIair's revolver while we were up 10
| Silcox's; he pulled 1t out and showed il
