very much like the gun Thompson
had. TO me; Accord was about the
Kellenberger saloon when ! first saw
him; my boy said: One of them bul-
lets hit this old man in the arm
noticed blood; Accord was about 20
feet from Stansel; Thompson was
about facing the door OF the El Moro,
a little northeast of the middle of the
FL Moro door, Stansel was little
northeast of Thompson; Accord was
north of me and my son; shot from
Tbompspn's gun / don't see how
could hit Accord; ball hit the side
walk. tore out splinter and went
up: 1t made a short indenture which
| saw plainly; 1t appeared TO come
from the direction OF where they
shot; when Stanse fred the last shot,
think the last .snot. he stuck his
gun in Thompson's side; saw n
number of people around. saw Bill
Darlington crossing the street: when
the shooting commenced he stopped
at the car track; there were two or
three nearer than was; | never saw
Thompson's gun since unless that is
It; blood from Acords arm was on
my overshoes; saw two men near
| the El Moro. maybe another one: |
did not see Policeman Young there;
Stansel had one gun In the shooting
Thompson had one gun; don't know
