Ho sat down awhile, with n llltlo Polandcr boy on his lap; ho asked tor candy, nnd as wo had none, Hughes gave the boy some money, nnd the boy kissed his hand, nnd ho laughed. After he got tho tobacco ho asked mo if I had heard about the racket on Friday nieht. I told him I had. IIo said, "He called him a blncK-heartcd anil that was pretty hard to take, but the way he threw mo against tho wall In the wnsh room, he can handle three like me." Hughes went out nnd ns ho reached tho pavement Wells came towards him, and commenced striking nt him. Hughes backed nway nnd said, "Keep awuy," or something like that. Wells struck him three limes, and then ho fell ou his kneca and Wells caught hltn by the throat, and bent him back so that Ids head nearly touched the ground, and then I henrd tho first shot.

He was at tho bar with Samuel Adams. Wells wasn't in the bar room, don't think he saw Hughes that morning. Wells was in tho dining room leaning against the wall. He couldn't see out into tho bar room. Hughes said to Adams, "If this touches mo you'll have a corpse to haul home." I hadn't heard any previous talk. Hughes reached In his overcoat pocket and held out n revolver. 1 went to tho door and sent for the constable, for I wns afraid there would bo a fuss. I left tho two In tho bar room and went in to seo Wells and said to Wells, "For God's sako don't como out; ho has a pistol and will shoot you." .My wife and n man named Myers also tried to persuade him not to go out. Adams called him out Into the hall, nnd I went Into tho bar room. Hughes had gonn out und I didn't seo him again until I saw him in tho street, about 40 Icet from tho hotel. Was standing at tho side of Wells, who lay there on his back. I said to him, "You have killed a man, givo mo tho revolver," and ho gavo it to mo. I lionrd three sho's close together.
