 Q-State if you can, about the number of shcts fired at yourself and deceased, in the first volleyF 1 Alt is impossible for me to state the number of shots were fired almost simultaneously, I cannot gay how many. After the volley two shots were fired one which wounded the horse, and inc last one fired at me, as I have described. Q.-From what direction in the ca10n were the first shots fired?
 Al was narrow canon; I saw no smoke. The shots were apparently fired from the left.
 Q.-How far were you from the In- dian when he fired at you last?
 A.-About 60 feet as near as I oan estimate; I could see the expression of his face distinctly,
 Q-Please describe the manner in which the Indian was dressed, if you can?
 Ale had no hat on and I only noticed his face and his gun; his face struck me as greatly resembling the face of Geronimo from pictures I have seen Of Geronimo. l noticed the marks on his face, caused by paint or wrinkles.

 A.-Deceased was married, and leaves q wife and one child in Los Angeles.

 A.-The deceased had rife not loaded at time, strapped behind him on the saddle; I was not armed.

 Ally impression is there was as many as half dozen shots fired.
 Q.-About how far had you pro ceeded from the place where the de ceased lay, when the Indian fired at you?
 Alt is hard to tell; after the shot was fired I turned into some bushes near by, and tried to keep out of sight, travelling in different directions until I came up to the horse which the deceased had been riding. The Indian who fired at me was the only one I saw, and I saw him but once.
 The deceased was a native of CLn- ada and citizen of the United. States, and engaged in the practice of law in Los Angeles. Cali i'ornia.
