down his rifle and staggered back
wards. I then rode up to him and
picked up the gun, and handed it to
someone.
MR.. COLLINS-Did he shoot at
any one when he was shooting?
MR.. MARSH-No, he was shooting
at random.
Testimony of J. c. Calhoun.
MR.. COLLINS-Were you present
at the time this shooting was going
on?
MIR. CALHOUN heard four or
five shots between our house and Tol
liday's. l got up off the lounge, and
he was going down the street in front
of the house. He acted as if he were
looking for somebody, and he went
on down to the Mexican house just
below there and was flourishing the
gun around then pretty lively, and
the boys all ran down the street. He
went up and looked in at the window.
Then he went across the street and
that is the last 1 could see of him.
l saw Mr.. Marsh then on his horse.
There were at least four or five shots
below the house. When l opened the
door he staggered and fell over
MR.. COLLINS-Did you see the
dead man shoot the rifle?
MIR. CALHOUN-There were four
or five shots.
Testimony of H. G. coykendaII.
MR.. COLLINS-Mr. Coykendall,
will you please tell the jury what
you know of the killing of Juan Lara.
MR.. COYKENDALL-I was coming
out of the Grotto Cafe some
time about noon, and was walking to-
ward the Parker Commercial COM
pany building, when Mr.. Prescott mo-
toned me to hurry up. When 1 went
up to the building he asked me for
my rifle. I gave it to him, and he
said there was a Mexican shooting
up the town. We started together
down Arizona avenue, and had gone
probably one hundred yards when
We saw the Mexican. At that time
he fired his rifle once, at the same
time yelling I saw Mr.. Marsh ride
towards him, stopping in the center
of the street. The Mexican turned
and faced Marsh. At that time
suggested to Mr.. Prescott that he
give me the rifle and 1 would shoot
at his feet. I fired one shot at his
feet, raising considerable dust at
one side of him. The Mexican then
raised his gun, pointing it as l should
judge at Mr.. Marsh. l then fired
the second shot; then walked toward
the Mexican, who had fallen.
MR. COLLINS-Did you hear any
other shots at that time?
MIR. COYKENDALL-I heard sew
eral other shots
MR.. COLLINS-When you fired
the last shot did you believe the
deceased was intending to shoot to
kill?
MR. COYKENDALL-W l fir
ed the last shot the Mexican had his
gun leveled in the direction of Mr.
Marsh. 1t was my best judgment
that he intended to shoot Mr. Marsh,
and for that reason I fired again.
Testimony of Otto Korn.
MR.. COLLINS-Were you present
this afteronon at the shooting?
MR.. KORN-I was working at the
Sternberger house, when l heard a
shot fired. l looked over and saw a
Mexican coming down towards Sauf-
ley's house Mrs Saufley called on
me to stop him. AS he came down
there I asked him what he was do
ing. He did not answer me. He
showed me his rifle, and it looked
like shell was caught in the breach
of the gun. I went up to him, think
ing l could get the gun away. l
asked him to give me the gun, and
1 would get the shell out for him.
He would not give me the gun, but
l had my knife in my hand and l
threw the shell out. At that moment
he started on the run for few feet,
and began to put more shells in the
gun. After he passed Saufley's house
he fired two shots. l then started
up town to try and get somebody to
get him or take care of him. AS l
was going up l met Mr.. Marsh and
the crowd, and went back with them.
l followed Mr.. Marsh. Mr.. Marsh
rode up to the Mexican and called
on him. l don't know what he said.
At that instant the Mexican wheeled
around and pointed his gun at Mr.
Marsh. They were shooting and
saw the Mexican fall down. 1 went
