coming of dawn for the purpose of
getting some early shooting at ducks
The morning was foggy and not

any distance. While Payne was
standing in the front of the boat,
with his companion pushing the
boat from behind, a flock of ducks
arose from the bushes, a short dis

Payne fired at the ducks and his
companion grabbed his gun with the
intention of also shooting at the
flock. After Payne had shot at the
ducks his brother-in-law started to
shoot from the other side of the
boat and changing his mind, sweryed
his gun to shoot on the opposite side.
