 Q. With one hand or both?
 A. Both hands, this way (indicat- ing), and then they tussled around there just little bit, and I kept going on over towards where they was at, and thinks to myself, now, he ain't got any show on earth with Wolschan- sky, because he is weakly boy, and l says, There is nothing more to it, he will just un-arm him, you know, and it will all be off, and just before crossed the railroad track the gun fired and Huddleston fell.
