O*Since oar last issue inexorable death has
been busy in our midst. On Saturday morning
the 4tn iitsi., a gloom was cast over the whole city,
by the announcement of the death of two of our
most valued and estimable citizens. One, Judge
L. tt. Li.scout, whose many social virtues and ex
cellent qualities had won. tor him universal respect
and esteem, the other, a lovely lady, Mrs. Pass
cu A. Fanuas, wife of the Rev. A.voarw P»le
vtx, Rector of Christ church, and only daughter
of the late Hon. Cuaaraa Ashley. Endowed with
ail the shining virtues which ennoble and elevate
her sex, as a daughter, as a friend, as a wife or as
a mother; none knew her but to love and admire,
and ail sincerely mourn the ioas of one so gifted
and so pure.
We feel that no words we can utter will a!lu»
viate the grief or deep distress of those who know
and loved Mrs. Faceuiv. The most exalted praise,
the loftiest eulogy rrtil we know, fall cold upon
the desolate and heart stricken family who cher
ished and idolued her, but a brief tribute to her
virtues, her parity and loreiiness may still t>e re
corded by one who knew her from the wild and
tunny days of her childhood, tillmaturer years de
veloped her character full of purity and goodness.
Born with wealth at her command, and nursed in
the lap of luxury, her entrance to the world of
gaiety and fashion, was marked by.a weannesa of
its hollowness and her final abandonment of its
vanities and frivolities. Her well formed and bril
liant intellect sought a higher sphere for reflection
, and operation, and her heart and soul became
-c~ 'engaged to the sublime ’.etchings of the Bible.—
She was a devoted member of the church, and
through all " the chances and changes of life”
was never known to forget her duty as • hris ian or
a friend, while in all the relations of society she
elicited by her graceful and affectionate demeanor
the admiration and esteem of every one.
Those who knew her bear loved her most, and
we know not how to offer consolation to the wid
owed hearts of a mother and husband, who clung
to her with taor- than human atTcctiou. Weonly
beg them >o remember that

Hitherto we hare spoken only of he advantage*
to be den red is supp.ymg the home market. bat
we «ee no reason why the south should no; man
ufacture cotton yarns for exportation and conqrete
successfully with the eotton spinners of England.
From statistiea hitherto collected, it appears that
the cowl of tuning a pound of eotton from the cot
ton gins of the Mississippi valley to the trulls at
Manchester m England is about four cents. For
a lew Cost it could be made up iu!o cotton yaru
worth twice or three tunes as much as the original
cost of thd cotton. The manufacturing of these
products is simple and the machinery within the
manna of every planter ta the State.
The price is not senable like that of cotton
cloths. Daring the receal depression in the price
of cotton fabrics, when the New England cloth
mtlri ware losing Britney and many of them obliged
to stop, the yarn spinner* of Manchester were re -
alixiog ready sales and large profits.
The taler of this material are much more inten
sive than many now imagine. As an nmtuice it
has been computed that during the first five months
of the present year there have been shipp'd from
three ports of England to the East Indies and China
alone linn millions pound of cotton twist. The
exports to Europe are much greater, and it should
he remembered that these exportation* ate made by
the English manufacturer*, who pay for the cotton
font eeata per pound, more than it costs at home
where it X mined. With this materist difference

IT* publish to itar in f«H the Seatimony of »«*i j
witneme* in regard to the recent attempt on the
pan of Borland and tb« three Dealer* to awaaei
note the Editor* of the Banner on Ti»*«d«y the 16th i
ult. The eianinatioa took piaee at the eouit j
house in Little Rock on the 30th September and
lit October before Wm. S. Hutt, esq., Juatice of
j the Peace.
Wc tail the attention of our readers particalarly
i to those portions of the -videece which we base j
printed in tlales. It will be seen that every state- j
went with regard to the affray hitherto published ,
in the Banner has been sustained by the depoei- *
tains of the witnesses. 1
From the leatHnony ofaixteen gentlemen, sum
moned by the coronet indiscriminately from am mg
those who witnessed the affair, it is manifest that
the attack made by tfce Dauieys was premeditated; j
that it was publicly announced that they intended |
to attack Reardon and Whiteley as sooa as they ^
appeared upon the atreeta; that the fight occured
| about ten o'clock; and that the Dan.eys, con.tar)
to their usual custom, came to the Anthony House
evidently fur the purpose of making the attack;:
that C. C. Dantey and Ben F. Danley attacked j
Wbiletey at the same time; that after W hue ley's |
^ right arm was disabled by s pistol bsll they were !
1 aided in their attack by Wm. Danley; that Reardon
had taken no part whatever in the affray when:
Borland dastardly siezei him from behind uml alder
disarming him, invited Wm. Danley to make a
j murderous attack upon hitn; that Roland, durine
j the whole fight was violently urging the Dauieys
j to kill tybitetey, and, after Whiteley had fallen j
J disabled and exhausted this honurabl? Senator, j
pulled away the citizens who wished to interfere, 1
and urged on his minions to consummate their mur
| derous purposes.
i We have waned pauently for this judicial inves
! tigation, in order ’hat we might present to our:
; readers the faett of the case as sworn to by uinin- (
peachable wiinesaes. There is not the slightest
discrepancy m their statements but each one cor
roborsies the others in almost the same words.
Had Borland and the Dsuleys desired that the
truth should be known they could have required
this examination at the time they were airested,
but they feared to bring out the truth, and avoided
any investigation, they were content to piead guilty I
and give bail for then appearance at the circuit i
court, and in the meantime sought to screen them
selves from well merited infamy and deceive the
public in other portions of the State, by circulating i
: their own false version of the affair. i
if no other proofs had beea adduced, the false- j
hoods contained in the letter, of Borland and
.Daniey were sutfi-rent of themselves to convince
j every sensible man of their conscious guiltiness.
| That all their statements with regard to the affray
; are entirely faiae has been proved conclusively by
. the evidence now published.
If it were not for want of space we would prefer
| to publish their letters side by side with the depo
, sitions of the witnesses before the court, so that
i all might compare them and see by what ludicrous
| falsehoods Borland and the Danieys have ewteav
! ored to deceive the public and shield themselves
from the indignant condemnation which must fail i
upon them whenever the truth is knows.
We have only room now to point out a few of
their most glaring mis-statements. C. CcDaniejr
saya that the affray occurred as he was going to
the Anthony House at “ the usual time, as has
been ary custom for years." BenF. Daniey states
that it was “ about dinner time.”
The witnesses prove t,h»l the fight took place at
! or before ten o'clock in# that it was nor umo. for
j C. C. Daniey to come there at that hour. C. C.
; Daniey stales that Whifkley had drawn a pistol out
jof his pocket before the attack was made,
j If this had been true it would have been joitifl
: able in White ley for be had been warned that he
| was to be attacked by the Danieys. But the testi
mony shows that he did not draw his pistol un i
both the Danieys had raised their sticks to strike
him and did not fire until both struck at turn to
gether. In this mauner each and everv particular
item <>f this singular compound of falsehood and
! effrontery is flatly contradicted and disproved by .
the evidence adduced before the Justice. We
' understand that the tellers of C. C. Daul • god
| Solon Borland have obtained a very extensive cir
! culation by m ans of the f/o.ior.Mr Sena.or's frank
; mg pnvelege, and we hope our readers will msti
lute a close comparison between th*-ir accounts of
the affair and the recital of the witnesses who wen
duly sworn to testify in the case.
There is one feat ure m the defence ot Borland
which should r.b • passed\i* :i Ev-a co i d .
I suae shadow of excuse by possibility be found for :

by being engaged in a fight with C. C. Daniey, B.
F. Dante;, Ww. Denley and tielas Borland on the
16th utt.
The Coi|rt pr-Kieerfed to call the witncaae* and
lake .down f be tcatisiottji;
Co»'O.Ut« Svo.vk nrnni, state*—
On the rooming of tbe fight I wm sitting on a
box at tte door of Dr. Dodge * drug store. I saw
Kcanton and *fhiteley standing at the corner of
the Anthony House bar room, near the entrance to
the alley. In a few momenta after i saw Cap.
Dauity and Benj. Daniey <o*ng directly toward
them, each having a large cane in hts hand, and
when they gut about the middle of tbe alley, rack
rtted ku rttek at Wbttlrg. Then the parties scat
tered. Reardon stepping out toward the pavement
and White ey iuto the alley—1 then started down
to the alley, but before I reached tSere i beard
the report of a pistol. I did not see who shot.—
When I got into the alley balk Danlrft were tlnk
img at WhittUy leii ttici*. and if was wtrd.ng
tkrm ajf u>tk kit arm*. and when down the alley
some twelve or fifteen teel, Whiteley wrested tbe
stick of Hen Daniey from him, and with it gave
him several licks, one of which knocked him down.
Ben Daniey while down drew his pistol and in the
aetof raiMiig f.relat Whiteley; after he had fired he
rose ?o his feet, drew a large knife and made toward
Whiteley, when sew im/ rifled to WkiUlrf f» ntnat
or iwc* tie alley. Whiteley then went out of the
alley, followed by 0. C. Daniey and Ben Daniey.
.1 went out immediately after them, and as 1 came
out Bill Daniey was crossing ihe alley, going
down,—he had a large stick in his hand, and
struck Reardon a very fevere blow, knocking him
down, and as l sjppoiMl had killed him. lie then
passed ou and engaged Whiteley. I saw no more
of the fight, as 1 was then called on by Gordon
Peay to assist m carrying Reardon,off the ground,
caoss EXAHixao.
Whilst Whitelt y was wrenching Ben Danley’s
suck from him, CapL Daniey was striking at
Whiteley. At the time Ben Dauley shot Whiteley,
Capt. Daniey was approaching with his stick raised
and Whiteley turning to ward off the blow, re
ceived tbe ball in the right breast. The
moment .after Ben Danlcv fired, Whiteley said,
a.' . Lnn •» ma " Dan Hanl.iu m rnswl lot aIv
rose and drew bis knife, and with C. C. Daniey
on one side of Whiteley and Ben Daniey on the
other, some one tailed to Whiteley to retreat, or
get out of the alley.
As I went into the alley J saw Reardon with a
pistol m his hand swinging dawn by hissule, at the
length of A;* arm, and not presented. When I saw
Reardon the fight bad commenced. It was when
I went into the alley that I saw Reardon with the
pistol in his hand, some seconds after the com
mencement of the fight, and after Whtteiey and
the Danleys bad gone down the alley. Reardon
Ai» i plenty of I me ant opportunity to hace shot either
of the Daniey*, if he ha l wished to do so, from tlje
commencement of the affray.
Gordon, >1. Pt«r sworn, states—
On the morn.ng of the difficulty I was standing
at Butterworth’s corner, when C. C. Dan'ey and
B. F. Daniey passed toward* the Anthony House,
on the oUicr side of the street, with suck* in their
hauds. 'It was announced that there was about
to be a fight. They went on to the alley of the
Anthony House. I saw nothing more until 1 saw
bAh sft'c’f* raised, and l ran to the scene of the
fight. I run into the alley immediately, down to
• he barber's steps. I suppose about thirty feet.
When l got down lhere B. F. Daniey wan just up
from the ground, and had his knife m his right
hand, with fos left hand raised, and approaching
Whiteley staggering. Captain Daniey was then
striking at White ley, and White ley was warding
of wi’h his left hand. I our that Ins right arm was
useless. In a loud voice I called out to Whiteley
to retreat; h task out for B~n Donley’s knife, that
he would he murlere.!. And Mr. Whiteley retreat
ed out of the alley, Ben Daniey approaching him
within about five feet, with his knife in his hand.
It was about half a minute from the tone the fight
commenced, until Whiteley, at my call, retreated
ou’ of the alley. 1 do not recollect having seen
Ben Daniey carry a stjek before.
As- l came out of the alley. Reardon seemed to
be rising from the ground, and Borland had him by
the back of the neck anl coat, grasped him in his
left hand anl pulled him on his hands and knees.
Borland hsd an uncocked pistol ,n bus right hand,
and talking in a loud tone. I caught bold of Ins
left hand and pulled it loose from Reardon’s cot -
lar, and then assisted Reardon to rise. Borland
s*epr> 1 abort*. ep to mi r.ght; Reardon faced
Borland, and not five seconds elapsed before Rear
don was struck u blow which knocked him down.
He fell lifeless and remained so until, with the as
sistance of Mr. Stone, 1 took him into the drag
store. After Rt-ardon was up, Borland was speak
.eg m a loi l and eve.tine. Borland could
not have been m -re than two and a half feet from
Reardon when he was knocked down. Borland
from hit p iiitToTi COiild sec Reardon, -and e— wreo
looking down toward* the Anthony House in the
direction of Rtardon.
Sautst. Lc wjs sworn, states—
About ten or fifteen minutes previous to the
light. i walked down to the Anthony House. I
saw Reardon and Whiteley go down a latte ahead
of me and take seats near the corner of the alley.
I stationed myself in the west door of the Antho
ny House bar-room, and wtule I stood there 1 saw
C. C. Danley and Ben DanSey Coming down the
street; l remarked that they both had sticks, and
more espe. lally B- n Dauiey, who is not in the
habit of using a suck. When they got somewhere
between Goodrich A Gray'* and Dodge's, Reardon
and Wjjiteiey rose fr :u their seats, and a* they
r*is 1 saw Whiteley put h i rich: hand in his
picket, an 1 think he advance*! one or twostefs
and p -■ I b.s back against the corner of the An
thony House oat-tnuj; Reardon was no; mire
than two feet (run Whitetf, on bia light, The
Dealers by this time had gJt close Pi Heard jh and
Whiten y. and when within striking distance li,y
bulk ! |iif ur comet at tkr tame tune. Capt.'Dan
lev struck Wlideiev, but J do not think that H< n
Danley struck until Capt. Dan.ey had struck a
second time. A o it the tune that they both struck
Whiteie* drew h:s pistol and fired, parrying
the Mows with one hand. And at this time Kesr
d in f. hanged ht* position. advanced one or two
steps and drew hi* pistol, ami ie!d it Ami by kit
tuie. Mv attention wss then attracted by-Bor
la»4seising Reardon by the right hand m which
he yeM a pistol cocked. He seised Rt-ardoa m
suck a manner as to throw him flat >• bia back.
By the time Reardon fell, Borland bad the pistol
m bis right band cocked. He held him by the coat
collar or throat. I dual kn >w which, and called ont,
that he was * dart’d scoundrel, that be ought to
kill, and would serve bun right if he did kill turn,
for trying to shoot a cripple is the back. I then
looked down the alley to see what had become of
Whiteley and Ben Daaley; I saw Ben Danley on
his back, and Whiteley wbaling tan heavily wait
a cane. By this time Gordon Peay had interfered
and separated Borland and Reardon. Ihrlswl ,
started across the alley with the cocked pistol ia '
hi* hand. I MW C.pt. Hanley making toward* j
where Whine toy and Baa Dealer waea engaged.,
He got up to Whiteley and a— raairfatrifcnf km
wr tbe bra I and th letter* *Wf hr an engaged
v~iibjbr* D-miry. Whtteley turned rwaad, hat 1
do not know whether to strike Copt. Donley of to
parry the Mow*, and when Whiteley commenced
upon Be a Dooley again, Capt. Daaley renewed hi*
attack upon Whiteley. Whitatey tamed round to
parry the Mow* of Oapt Daaley again, when Ben
ID nicy shot him. By.ghi* tune Ben Danley had
gotten up and drawn bit ituft. I think Oordon
j Pear railed to Whiteley to retreat. Wkiteley
started to retreat, when Boanvo crei ant, ‘*4*11
tbt nam'd orounJrl! kill km!" Ben Danley was
then pursuing Whiteley with ht* knife. Whiteley
retreated out of the alley, and Borland **id, "run, j
you God dam coward, ran!” After Whiteley i
pasted me I saw. BiU Daaley coming up with *
’ large stick in hi* hand. I was then shout half
j way between Whiteley and Reardon; when BtH i
! Danley e*me up nnd *truck Keardon a blow;— j
! Reardon fell *s if dead. William Danley then
1 passed on to Mr. Whit-ley. I looked after Rear- j
j don then to *ee whether or not he was dead, and
i I saw Gordon Peay and Stone taking him op and
1 carrying turn to the drug store, apparently dead, i
j Whiteley and Bill Danley were then engaged «rth
' sticks, and Whiteley knocked Bill Danley to bis
' knees oace or twice. Copt. Dmlrp and Brn Dan- ;

Bvn Danley and Mr. Mctxger got hold of Capt. j
Daaley. Boauiao caught hold of Metager and ,

loc hi* stick and seized Whiteley.
The next I saw of Whiteley he was down on
; tbe sups of the Anthony House, and Bill Danley
■ stindmg on tbe steps above linn with a stick in
ha hand.
I then assisted some one to take Mr. Whiteley
h»me.
cams EXiw.xcn.
Mr. White!y had no ttiek at the beginning of the
j.dyli. When Whiteley came out of the alley he 1
stopped near tbe first door of tbe bar room, and
stotd until Bill Danley came up. He appeared to
use hi* stick nil hit left hand, the right being ift
| parmllg duablej. He knocked Bill Danley to his
hints, and Bill Danley rose by catching bold of

0 the fight.
Beu Danley came up to Oiliver'a corner where
srveral of us were standing, and said he thought
we were talking about the Banner, that the Editor
Vhiteley, t»*d accused hyt brother of impotency, i
aid said : “God darn Whitcley, he would let him ,

, isktd the witness, why he stationed himself at !

^ o’clock.
| Davie Saai.Tos sworn, states—
A few minutes before this fight took place 1 was ;
sitting near the east dor of the Anthony House ’
f bar room. In a few minutes Keardon and Whiteley
j went into tlie bar room, drank some water and
| came out and took chsits near the corner on the
! pavement. Before they came out from the bar
5 room, Borland came down the street by Dodge’s ;
j and took a scat neat Dr. Pope, about half way
j between me and Keardon. 1 then suspected there i
i would be a difficulty. In a few seconds 1 looked

the place where Reardon and Whiteley were:

defending htisself and Bill Danley waa striking at

Alithe time that Whiteley was struck at by
C. C. Danley, Reardon was standing by his wde.
and turned round, and drew (us pistol from ha
coat pocket, and then facing toward C. C. 1 hutley

hands ofjteardon. Reardon stood at the center of
the alley, and Whiteley was standing near bus
with hia back to the wall of the a>ley. Whiteley
bad no stick, hut defended himself by feuding off
the blows with bia arm. Reardon waa standing
at the corner of the alley and drew his pistol and
krU tl in kri toad rime Hermit, when Major Bor*
land grappled him and threw him down. Major
Borland was sitting on the sidewalk at the time.
Wbiteley drew his pistol at the time C. C. Hart
ley and his brother came within sinking distance
of bun; the pistol was drawn far enough for me to
see the butt, immrdialeley after Capt. Danley
struct 1 heard two or three blow* struck in quirk
succession, and Capt. Danley could not base
strsck more than two or three blows before Be*
Danley struck. The stick used by Capt. Danley
was a large walking stick. The two Danleya came
down the street aid 2 by side, and made no stop
a her {saw them until they leached Wbiteley.—
When Borland threw Reardon down he said that
he ought to kilt the darn’d rascal for presenting a
p.atol at a man's back.
Carr. Et.ijnrr, being sworn, states—
1 was sitting at the bar-room of the Anthony
House and.beard the report of a pistol; 1 sprang
up and ran out. The first 1 saw. Major Borland
shoved Reardon down; he had him by the throat
with bis left band and a pistol m W right He
observed to Reardon, “ you darn’d coward, will
you shoot a man in the back.” As soon as he said
this, and while he held Reardon down, be turned
hir face to the alley, and called out in a loud tone,
" kill the darn'd coward! kill hun!P’ At the same
moment I heard a heavy blow in the alley, and
turned my head m that direction and saw White
fcy strike Ben Danley, and he fell. Capt. Dan
ley at the time had his stick raised, and Ben Dan
ley raised himself on his left elbow and drew a
pistol which he fired at White ley. While Ben
Dauley was presenting the pistol Capt. Danley and
Whiteiey had their sticks raised. When Ben.
Danley fired, Whiteiey's stick fell, and I thonghU
he war killed. Capt. Danley then approached
him, and at that tune some one called on Whiteiey
to retreat, and Capt. Danley called out, “ see the
darn’d coward running.”
1 then went into the house and came out at the
mam door. As 1 came out 1 saw Bill Daniey
atnke Reardon with a large slick. 1 heard the
blow and saw Reardon fail, and observed " there
is a dead man.” Bill Danley made no stop, but
immediately, together a ith Capt. Danley, attacked
Whiteiey, both commencing striking st the same
tune. Whiteiey warded off the blows with hts
left hand. After about half a dozen passes, Bill
Dantey’s sffcll *as lost la the fight. The Daileys
continued to attack Whiteiey, he still giving back.
I then heard a tremendous blow, and some one
said that Ben Daniey bad kilted Whiteiey, and l
saw no more of it. A few seconds after Whiteiey
was knocked down, 1 heard Capt. Daniey say that
••this thing bad come to just what lie wanted i*
to.”
Joint Faulty sworn, states—
On the morning of the fight, I was busy in the
drug stole, and heard a woman screaming, “ donl
kill bun!” 1 rushed to the front door to see what
the matter was; l had heard a pistol. 1 saw Rear
don on the ground, Borland over him; Borland had
his foot r.n him; he seemed to be bolding him with
his left hand, and had a pistol m his right hand,
pointed down the alley. He called out to some
one in the alley to “ afaat IV Jam'J coicarJ, tv u
running: ’ They then brought Reardon into the
drug store.
tVa. K. Ashljei sworu, states—
I got to the scene of the tight just to witness the
close of it, from the west door ot the bat room; i
saw Bill Danley and Whiteley fighting—Dauley
making advances and striking at Whiteley, and
Whitetey parrying and retreating; when they w re
about fifteen feet from the raiddie door of the
Anthony House, Wtuleley’s lick disarmed Bill
Danley and brought turn to hut knees. Just at that
time Ben. Danley came up aou made two licks at
Whiteley, both of which he parried, while Bill
Danley was holdinj on to Whiteley's clothes trying
to get up. Ben Danley's third lick, with a#tick,
knocked Whiteley down. Then 1 saw Mr. Meta

On the morning that the fight occurred I saw
Reardon pass Dr. ferry’s office; he was going up
the street and stopped at the corner opposite Haw
kia's dwelling, followed by Cap'.. Danley and Ben
Danley—when i saw them pass l observed that
they had sucks, and seemed eicited. Reardon
passed again, and went down toward the Anthony
House. Bill Danley was coa.ng in the wuu .
direction with a large hickory stick ia bis hand,
and stopped at the office door. He then caiuc in
and took a seat. Not mare ttr.n five minutes
elapsed before Capt. Danley and Ben Danley
again passed up toward the Anthony House, walk

they passed by Bdi Danley got up and followed
after them. In about font or five minutes after this
1 heard the report of a pistol; t ran down to the

I ipflirted, upon Reardon: Borland was standing at
II be/moment in front of Heard' n woh a pistol in
i his hand nnd apppeared 'n be talk.-ig s.i Reardon
in an eirited manner. Borland stepped round in

j knocked Reardon down as the crowd waa so great.
i Jams Sramo* sworn, state*—
On the morning of the fight ( came up town,
! afii r reading the reply of Whitrier. 1 heard aever
’ al gentlemen any the* thought there would be an
affray take place as anon as Whiteley and Reardon
• came down towB.
Having heard these remark* at several places,
I of course, «iu on the look-out. Dunn* thi*
i time I saw Ben Danley come up to the comer
j at Oliver's; there were perhaps, half a dosen per
; sous pres-nt; after some remarks l heard Ben Dan
ley say that he was not a enppie, an<l about that
time Dr. Webb tcok him off and they entered into
conversation a few stepa off. The ibrxt thing I
noticed was Ben Danley go into the room by Good
rich dt Grays, and when he esnat out He had a
tolerable large cane in hts ham!: about this time
j William Daniey, who went into Shaws without a
i cane, came out with one. When he came out he
walked as if he was iame, ami crane across to the
■ corner a: Oliver’s, dust about this time i saw
Whiteley and Reardon craning down the street,
about half way between the State House fence
! and Hawkins’. They both went into Hawkins'
and staid a short time—they then came back on
the- side walk, and Wluteley went down the alley
opposite Hawkins', and Reardon walked down the
I opposite side of the street, to Oliver’s corner. Then
Ben Danlcv started up the street on the Anthony
House siue, as lar as Me wank, ueuroou mne<
! on the same side of the street, and in the same
; direction, twenty yards behind Ben Uaniey, ami
Wdiiam Hanley about twenty yards behind him.
When Reardon got up as far aa Dr. Peyton’s cor
! ner he stopped. The nest tune 1 saw Bill Hanley
he was at Oliver's corner. I saw Capt. Hanley
I and Ben Hanley at this time, t get her at the State
| Bank corner I did not see where they went—I
then *aw Wbiteley go into Griffith's gun smith
shop. The neat 1 saw of him he was in the
neighborhood of Hawkins', where he met Reardon,
and they went together to the Anthony House,
and both went into the bar room and came out
about the same time on the side walk. About thu
time I saw Ben Banley and Capt. Danley cormni
down the street, on the same side where I first
saw them; they were about as far off as English'!
office. When they got as far as Peyton's office
they went into the building, after staying there a
short tune they came down town. When they go
about to Oliver's l then looked to sec where Rear
don and Wtuteley were; Whileley was standini
about the cornet of the Anthony House bar non
and rather in the alley, Reunion was just outsidi
of him. The two Hanleys the closer they got t he
faster they walked. About the tune they wen
getting to the mouth of the alley, Reardon ateppei
out a step or two as if to give them room to pass by
As soon as Capt. Danley and Ben Hanley go
whit&in soiling distance, Capt. Danley itmck a
Whiteley with his cane—l think that W httelej
had his hand in his pocket at the tune—1 think he
warded off the blow with his left hand, aa be bat
no stick, and «rA<-n Capt. Donley ma>ir ike sccww
Uote at Wkteley, Sen Danley el ruck at trim at Mi
some time—at this time Whiteley drew hm puitol
and fired at one or tb*- other of them, about Uk
tune of the second blow. His pistol not takini
effect, he retreated some few steps down the alley
and Ben Hanley followed him, striking at hiu
whenever within striking distance; U tiitele]
caught Ben Hanky's stick and wrenched it ou
of his hand. 1 am not positive whether it was ihi
first or second blow that Whiteley struck Ber
Donley, which knocked him down—about lh.:
tune i saw Reardon draw his pistol, and I do no
think lie had moved his position thiee feet froti
where ne stepped aside to let the'Danieya pans
In a short tune after he drew hta pistol, Bor la m
