I was standing right sort of towards the ear line and towards the bridge. And Webb was over the way they was going standing in the road. They turned the cor ner kind of fast. I suppose he saw
 NcDD Wnen ne IuIueQ the corner but he must have thought he was just someone walking along. When they turned the corner I followed them about 10 feet behind. Webb just went kind of cattycOrner like he wasn't concerned. He was just about the same distance away when we crossed the little ditch.
 "rhere is log bridge over the road part but we didn't cross 1t but just went through the little ditch. Tuck and BrOOlxins was go- ing along talking together. I was coming on behind them. Webb was then walking right with them, the least bit in front of them. Brook ins must have seen him. The shot was fired so quick that I don't think they stopped but just kind of wheeled around. Tuck never tod right for certain whether he fired the shot or no hut the next day when I seed him he had the money. After they made the shot turned around and walked on hack on across the car line to the East Lake car. They went out the way they was headed somewhere in the dark.-
