'Wen. by God, since this has come
I'D, we will settle the other"-and
walked right on up to my gate.
was standing on my front porch with
my left hand leaning against the post,
and at the time Mr.. Miller was set
Ting the gate post, He was working
in my yard at the time. When Mil
! Ter got through he come In and sat
down by the parlor post-veranda, and
when he did, Make kept on, and
said Il suppose you accused me of
stealing some of your ties" l said
make, / never done il" and he
said, "You are a c. d. liar"
just that way. When he said this,
/ said, Make you are wrong; /
never accused you, and there is no
need of any trouble; you can go away
and get right and get your authority,
and we can settle It without trouble"
Then I told him II don't want any
trouble with you at my house, nor
nowhere else-there is no need of it."
He said c. d. that, II didn't
want to have trouble at my house to
come to his house with him" and l
told him that l was not going with
him; and he said, well, come half
way" and / said Make, am not
going" He was cursing all the while
and going on. l cannot tell all that
he said. At that period, when he
told me to get my gun and go with
him anywhere. or half way, he was
standing with his pistol in his pocket,
and his hand was on the pistol
had hold of the pistol. He never
did take his hand OFF of the pistol.
The first time that he took it out
could just see the handle; and when
he took it out the second time he
took It out far enough that I could
see the cylinder and I could see the
pistol. l stepped behind the post that
] had my left hand on and told Make
that l was not going with him any
where and he told me ito get my
c. d. old rusty shot gun or
anything else that had to use" and
step out--that he didn't ask me to
80 anywhere; and when he said that
he kinder put his pistol back in his
pocket, and when l did, just as soon
as thought l was safe, / turned as
quick as | could and went into the
house, just as fast as l could go. It
was not more than six steps until /
entered the first door. When / done
that, I turned and went to the first
front room of the house and / heard
this fellow Holder tell him: Come
on Make, and lets go-he has done
gone" and Scofield repeated It
again-said II am a man from the
top Of my head to the bottom of my
feet, and l Amt going to run from
no c. d. man." and when he
did, l went into the house and stepped
back, and l thought at the time that
he was going away, but he made his |
arrangements and got HIS pistol and |
had 1t in that shape,
70. While this alteration was go.
