I'VE came on down street tostth.I
l stated before. / think he sal .a..
tehre in the store and played "A uss..
two on the piano. then got up aa8 -..
suppose we walk down street
THAT was Saturday afternoon.
q think we were about two or three
steps from the sidewalk. just HAD stsates
of the sidewalk. and we were comm.
kinder diagonally across the street ,..
wards the postofnce.
As to the location OF these carriage.
one was standing in front OF the l,
poster, one was standing in front oi tI.
south steps, and how many more th,.,
were up the line, l don't know.
4 think there was n carrIagt taudlu.
in front of main entrance. but ! WouIdut
swear there was. If there was that wo4|.
be three.
IF there was a carriage standing r
front of the main entrance that woulaa
be between me and the men, that Huu.l
be above us.
w would be looking between the two
carriages.
Il recognized both OF them before the
shooting.
4 couldn't tell they were arguing no
more than when you see two men ina an
argument you can always judge from the
gestures Of the arm, whether theg are lu
a plain ordinary conversation, or whether
they are in an argument
%. Were they gesticu.ating?"
"A. You will have to explain tia. TO
me, l am not an educated man AT all
They were not fighting at each other"
what were they doing with thor
hands,"
"A. You could just see their hands
they were making gestures.
Il saw Mr.. Skinner strike Mr.. Hay.
wood somewhere on the side OF the face.
just where, l couldn't tell. He knocked
him back, as l stated before. anl Ar
caught with his hands"
20. Both OF them we've making ies
tures?"
"A. No sir. yes. they were both making
gestures"
After Skinner struck him he stepped
back.
& don't know the distance.
Il suppose something like six or eight
or ten feet, just the distance, ] don't
know.
"At that time Mr.. Haywood was reeoy-.
ering himself, just as Mr.. Skinner stepped
back and stopped and turned about hall
face, l would judge. about that time Ny.
Haywood recovered"
(WltnesS STANDS up and SHOWS what ~
means by half face).
Just which way he turned / don
know, l remember bis turning, bat lu-t
which way he turned l cannot tell you. ]
cannot tell you how many steps he made
towards him; he made some, sometime
like that Indicating, possibly two OF
three steps, or one step) Haywood Wa,
in full view of me. l saw him extend h-
hand ga w his hand dIdnt -gg tho
pistol at all, out | heard the report.
when l saw the smoke. then Nh. skinner
turned. just exactly how he turned | can
not explain to you, because it Was done
quick. alter the first shot was fired d.
turned and went out a little ways then
turned again, and made that circle, after
the second shot. When that second Shot
was fred Mr.. Skinner was out Some"hcre
near the edge of the sidewalk, / think
he was of the sidewalk, but not very far
Just what Mr.. Haywood was dong then
| don't know. My impression Is that
Skinner was going kind of s%ideway~. ]
cannot tell which side he had toward
Haywood at that moment; he didn't haze
his face towards me exactly, | thrnt
though he had his face partially toward
me. l cannot say that he was golH-
towards Haywood at the second shot. Of
all happened like that %(snapping h- I'm
gers. He had an opportunity between
the shot to leave the sidewalk and get
over On the c~urbing. Before the first
shot was fired Mr.. Skinner had cleared
himself OF Mr.. Haywood and was a f."
steps from him. I don't know hos e.ptr
he was to the curbing when the second
shot was fired. When he went aroHh.
the carriage that placed the c~arria-a be-
tween him and 1. saw him a: the tonne
OF the second shot, he hadn't got AROUND
the carriage then. / cannot tell you "A#.
distance the carriage was from the CUR
ing. l cannot tell at what time the car
rage concealed him from me. Aye.
he came In my sight again he t1F1~'
l don't know the distance bet"r""
the curbing and the street car RAJ.
don't know that it is thirty feet. ! h4'"
