Vlll ISG HIS arm around witness
and fired at Brown in bed
Brown was at this time living
partly reclining on his left arm.
Brown turned over, and seeing
Brown trying to get up, the man
ilred once again. At this time
| had the firing arm in both nv
hands and tried to ward off the
shot, but was unable to do so
from weakness. | turned. him
loose. AS Mr.. Brown fell upOn
the floor the man walked out of
the house deliberately. l fol-
lowed him to the door, and the
negro who | first saw on the
piazza was standing in the yard
to the right of the walk, and as
the white man walked out he
threw his arm on the negro's
shoulder and said, "Don't you
tell" " | saw the face of the
man in the house only by the
flash of the pistol. He had a
red, or what would call an
auburn, moustache. He had
on dark coat, light-colorcd pants
and a light straw hat, but no
vest. Would say he weighed
about 155 or 100 pounds. Was
much stronger than myself. He
never said a word in the house.
Feel certain it was a negro on
the piazza. The bed on which
Brown lay was to the left of the
door, not over 5 feet. The man
was not more than two feet from
Brown when he fired. Brown
did not say, when ! asked him
the question, that he knew who
the man was that shot him. He
saw no conveyance, and did not
know by what means the man
reached the house. Mrs. Brown
with her three-weeks' old infant
and four-year-old daughter was
sleeping in a separate bed in
the house.
In answer to question by Jury.
man Morrison witness said he was
impressed that the man had nous
tache, but was hardly as long as
his mouth, or it may be that his
lip was like the balance of his
face, that appeared not to have
been shaven recently.
Emory Holler: Was coming up
from a party about l o'clock that
morning, having put his horse in
Mr.. j. A. Blacks stable. On
reaching the Main street saw 9
carriage drawn by two gray hor-
ses. 1t was near DIR. Hunters
residence standing still. Present.
ly the horses were whipped up
and when the carriage reached
me, the driver checked his horses
and stopped suddenly. | noticed
two white men and a cOlOred
driver in the carriage. One was
slim man. with rather small
face, with light moustache. He
asked me where Mr.. Brown lived.
On learning he meant painter
Brown, | directed him to the best
of my knowledge. Before | could
ask him if the case was serious
that he wanted to see Brown at
so late an hour, the man com.
manded the driver 10 whip his
horses up. On turning around,
the last thing | heard was the
man commanding the driver to
hurry. The exact time was about
10 minutes TO |. | did not know
the men. Would be no trouble
to recognize the man that ad.
dressed me. Had only glimpse
Of the other man, but could prob
ably recognize him. Could not
recognize the driver. The men
were very nervous ; their faces
were blanched. On going to bed
a half hour later | heard a car
riage approaching at rapid rate.
Looking out Of the window, saw a
carriage with gray horses, the
same horses, | should say, being
driven at rapid rate. recog-
nized the same voices, hollering
at The horses. They were going
in the direction of Yorkville. To
