 That Pat Bowers left the. Bowers house between the time pr. Crawford was shot and the time Jim Johnson was killed-an interval of perhaps half an hour-came out at today's ex- animation of Pierce and Ed Harron negro neighbors.
 Bowers, the testimony indicated slipped from the rear of the house ara went to the Harrons after he shot Dr. Crawford. H. told the two Harron negroes that he had killed a white man and shot some others and want cd the two to go back with him. He was seen to return, the two negroes testified, with a pistol in one hand and "pump" gun in the other. | u evidence, the supposition here seems to be that Bowers went to the liar. rcn place for more ammunition.
