Question. Did the accused mount his horse? When did you lose sight of the accused after you saw him go to his horse for the purpose of mounting?

Answer. He did not mount his horse. When he attempted to mount his horse his foot slipped or stirrup leather broke and he then fell back further into the cross street to my rear. I lost sight of him when he fell back. I saw Mr. Magoffin again as I was crossing the alley after I had taken my mother to the hotel. I did not see him again until he was arrested.

Question. Did you know whether the wounded soldier who turned the northwest courner has a pistol?

Answer. I can't say I know that he had a pistol. I picked up a pistol in the street myself between where I stood and this man who was shot. It was a large - sized revolver - a five - shooter I think. I did not examine it; have reason to believe it was tthe pistol of the man who was shot. I picked it up after returning from the hotel where I left my mother. I pointed it out to another soldier who asked me to handit to him which I did. I remained in the street - that is going in and out of the doors and in the street - after I come back from the hotel. I did not wish to appear as hiding. I did not examine the pistol.
