 Q. Your name Is W. c. Hiii7 A. Yes. sir.
 Q. Are you one of the defendants in this case? A. I am. r Q. Mir. Hfi. narrate what occurred between you and your brother just be- fore this difficulty7 A. On the day prior to the difficulty l saw my brother. Mir. Will Hill. at the once. He showed me an article. an editorial. believe contained in The Advertiser. We dis cussed 1t for some little while and finally concluded that we would have Judge sayre write an article stating what the duties of a Solicitor were. The Judge wrote the article later on. during the evening or that night. The next day I don't recoliect having any conversation at all with my brother, That nigh. we had an engagement with Captain Selden as to the effect of the win of his wife. The Captain came down and I don't recollect for sure, but think Captain Ben Screws was In the office. At any rate, remember that Captain Screws was there. It was after Captain Screws left that we again referred to the article by Judge Sayre and the card signed Lawyer. Then Mir. Will Hill and myself decided that 1t was best to see Mir. Glass before the publication of another edition of that paper. At this time it was about nt A@ AAI ak YA Al A,k of the time in the entrance to the l.. and N. office and a part of the time on the corner of Dexter Avenue ana Per ry Street and a part of the time in walking back and forth. It was about Il o'clock as near as I can recollect when I saw coming from The Advertise CT ofiice quite a number of men. I should say some six or seven In two or three rows Mir. Glass In the front row We were walking up the street going south. and they were going north to- wards the corner. We started up the street to meet them and my brother stepped out In front. What he said don't know. Then saw MT. Glass draw back and saw my brother strike him. | Then 1t was that this crowd that came with MT. Glass from The Adver- tiser office tried to get to them and kept them off to the best of my ability. | Major Screws attempted to hold me and push me back and pushed him back and said. Major. I am not going to hurt you. Then 1t was that he said, "come Crusius, get him Crusius." Q. Did you see Mir. Crusius? A. Yes, 1 sir. I looked up the street towards The | Advertiser office and saw him coming. Q. What did you do then? A. I said, stand back Crusius and I think re- peated it once or twice. Mir. Crusius replied. I am not coming in and about that time heard my brother, l.. L, Hilrs. voice saying, stand back, Major. heard this two or three times. I passed through the crowd and saw Professor Starke trying to get In, and said, Professor, stand back. Just about that time felt a blow from behind and turned to see who 1t was that struck me. could not recognize who 1t was and then turned back and saw my brother. R. 8. Hill. He and Professor Starke were engaged. 1 saw the Professor strike at him and saw him strike the Professor. That was to- : wards the end of the fight. About that time some one touched me on the shoulder and I turned around and saw Mir. Charles Faber. He said, give me that. and handed him my pistol
 o. Did you strike Mir. Glass? 4. did not. He was mistaken when he
