Q

look out for your own self, wasn’t it, wasn’t that right?

A

I don’t know, it probably might be.

Q

Now you two fellows were pretty husky fellows, weren’t you, you could have gone out there and stopped one man that was wheezing like a steam engine?

A

I never claimed to be.

Q

You could have stopped that man easy enough, why didn’t you do it?

A

We didn’t have no right to.

Q

Now will you answer me why you didn’t do that, just as the deputy asked you that night?

A

I told him “what right did we have to stop him?”

Q

Now you thought you didn’t have any right to, that is it, is it?  If you had known that he had shot Martin Golden there that night you would have thought you didn’t have any right to stop him would you?

A

I don’t know.

Q

Well now is that what you are trying to make me believe, that you would have thought if you had known that he had shot Martin Golden, that you would not have had any right to have stopped him?

A

No, I don’t think that.

MR. TURNER:  That is all.

MR. LILLIE:  That is all.
