FASTENS BEERS KILLING
ON FRED WALKER ALONE

seemed to be on his feet and this party
by the name of Walker sat him on some
thing-a box, it sounded like-and he
says: Damn you. sit there; / am not
a few moments. and at that time some
one vOmited and the water ran a lit
tie bit at the sink, and there was a con-
versation. l could not understand what
questions were asked, but the an
swers were 1 never No., L did not L
never; and then there was some more
blows and another struggle. and he fell.
and at that time there was silence aft
er that fall, no more at all for about
two minutes. and that IT started with a
low moan, and then little louder and
a little louder. until 1t got to be an OH
and that moaning continued right along,
and that oh! for at least four or five
minutes, and then there was question
asked him again. and he says: 1 will
swear before God never. l swear pc
fore God, l swear before God; and he
repeated that five or six times, perhaps
more.
Tend te Your Own Business.
.HTben there was another struggle, and
during this struggle and the means there
was someone interfered; and the answer
someone answered Tend to your own
business or l might kill your-and the
struggle continued. and the moaning L
could not distinguish the voice that in
terfered."
O.-"State whether or not the voice that
said i might Kill you was me same
voice"
At was the same voice that was
talking constantly to the person that was
receiving the beating"
o. you did not hear what was said?'
A. mo. sir; but by the answer 1 knew
some one interfered."
Huil?"
"My God, Walker, Don't XIII Me-"
A. 1.-THE struggle lasted quite few
minutes at that time. and the party that
was receiving the beating says. My God,
Walker, don't kill me, don't kill me- and
he says. Il have got you now and l am
going to kill you while 1 have got you
At that point | ran to the front window
to see if there could be a policeman any
where-I had gone two or three times
before that-and / ran back then; there
was no one in sight: l thought perhaps
had better call some of the men on the
street up; the thought came to me that
perhaps IL someone of those would go
down there might be worse fight than
ever Then / went back and he was
moaning; there was no blows just then,
but he was moaning awful. and then there
was quite bit of talk-I could not under
stand the questions-it seemed as though
they were either asked through the teeth
being closed or mumbled some way-I
could not understand them, but he still
denied whatever it was, and was still
ulOdHlnS Ill Tie NhilC.
Attacks Him Again.
and then this man by the name of
Walker started at him again. He says,
Go away, Walker. and let me be; / am
afraid of YOU Walker And Walker says,
Damn you, 1 know you are. And then
he called him a vile name, about as vile
as a man can be called. And then this
other party says, We'll, I can't do any,
thing. YOU know I can't And this man
by the name of Walker says, I know you
can't
And then they started with a strug-
gle; then 1 ran to the window again to
see If there could be a policeman in sight
and just at that instant there was a
scream louder than any before and my
daughter came running in and says.
Mamma, he is going to kill him this
minute I looked out

the daughter said was stricken out by

well. it concerns my calling this gem
tleman that came in here a while back
his name, I believe, is Shaw. l leaned
over the window and he was standing
right there under the window, and
called him. / says. My God. set police
man quick, there is some one being killed
in the back room and he says. 'Where?'
and / motioned down stairs In the back
room, and then he ran in the direction of
the Crystal saloon, over in that direction.
Voice Full of Sympathy.
Then 1 went back in the back part
again to see IL he was really dead, if they
had finished it up or not and everything
was still; my thoughts were, He is dead
1 weht to the window and listened and
heard voice that seemed TO be full of
sympathy say, Where do you want me
to take your Where do you want to go?
and the voice answered, Anywhere and
the other voice, which was that of Mr.
Lawrence, says, TO your roomT and he
says, No, not to my ROOM, and then he
says something about a hospital and the
water was running then. and then / went
to the front room window to see il there
was any officer in sight; none whatever
