to let the Lynn family alone, as they
we're bad people; he had had some
difficulty with them.
With this in mind I ignored a
salutation from him, Lynn, on Fri
day or Saturday morning as I was
driving team hitched to wagon
loaded with sawdust near the place
where he lives. He grew angry at
my refusal to speak and commenced
calling me vile names. | threatened
to give him a chastising unless he
stopped. The offense was repeated
again Monday under practically the
same circumstances, he again call
ing me names.
I first saw him on the day of the
shooting at d point where two roads
diverge. He was running as in.
the act to head me off. On coming
up to where / sat in my wagon he
accosted me with the query
You re the fellow that is look
ing for trouble, ain t you? | re-
sponded that I was and made for
him over the back of the wagon
box. I had no stick, as notice he
has claimed I had. My approach
was the signal for him to start and.
run. After getting some distance
he turned and fred a revolver that
he had placed in his pocket. threw
up my hand, uttering the exclama-
tion, Don't fire, pardner. He
took no heed, but blazed away twice
more. The first shot was the one
that struck me and I felt the bullet
entering my flesh.
i was nightly frightened at the
time as thought he meant to kill
me. and have heard since that he
has stated that he did.
At the jail yesterday Lynn was
more passive than on the day that
he gave himself to the sheriff. He
does not, however, show remorse
over this act, and in a spirit Of
bravado claims to have come from a
section of Missouri that produced
and raised the James brothers. and
was the scene of many of their ban
/ dit acts.
