ried one Of my nieces. He is kill
ed. Arthur Hebert killed him, on
the 4th of July. The shooting
happened at night. did not see
anything of it. ] heard Arthur
talking but could not understand
anything he said. heard Guillory
say:'Is that you Arthur! no fool
ishness; don't shoot. l thought
it was a negro" The shot was
fired soon afterwards. l heard nc
noise, fussing nor alteration, as if
men were struggling before the
shooting. | did not see Arthur He
bert right after the shooting, but
after a while he came to the house
stayed all night, even went to bed
and left very early in the morning.
We heard Hebert say that he did
not think he had shot him, that
was an accident, and that he had
shot in the air. / did not see or
hear Of any difficulty between
the two that day. My sister my
niece and myself were on the gal
lery when saw the man coming
in the road. | got scared and ran
in the house; my sister followed
me and she stumbled on a chair
which made noise. Guillory then
took his gun and went out on the
road without saying anything. |
gave the alarm and think it was
on account of the noise we made
that GuillOry went out. l think
some one told him there was a
a man there. The only thing
Guillory said after he was shot.
was that he was MORALLY shot.
That's all / know.
