the middle of the street. It was between the
Mayur'a office and Omit's Hotel, when Starry
fired at Reiff;:l guess there were at least 160
people there at the-time, if not more ; some I
think were halloeing for the fourth and second
regiments to come up; when I came up to the
crowd I cticinot notice that Starry had his pis
tol cocked ; . he pointed the pistol at Reiff; did
not hear what Reiff said to him; did not see

Sauuza Stems, sworn.-I was here on the
26th of July last. About half-past ten o'clock
in the morning I was standing at the Capitol
gate; saw a lot of men standing down at the
Exchange; some men were fighting there : they
were strangers to me, and I went out of the
crowd, and came up and stood at the tobacco
store at Third and Walnut street about five
minutes; I met Starry standing. there on the
crossing by himself without coat or hat on; 1
sal i to him "put your pistol away or you will
shoot somebody;" he didn't appear to notice
me, at least he didn't give mu an answer; 1
passed hire,. and ..stepped behind him at the
corner; Starry walked into the crowd towards
the State Capitol Hotel; I saw him have his
pistol in his hand; it was not cocked then; at
this time Ittiff went into the crowd just in front
of him and took Starry by the wrist, I suppos

Reiff caught Starry's hand, I kind of wheeled
towards the tobacco store, when the pistol went
off. Reiff was then taken away ; the crowd
was principally between us when Reiff was
with Starry; I saw no person beside Starry
have any • weapons; Reiff came to ' the crowd

Wx. W. Owsxs, sworn. I was here on the
26th of July last; reside near Norristown, in
Jeffersonville, Montgomery county ; on. the
26th of July ea I was laying under the trees on
the Capitol grounds, I saw the crowd down at
the corner of Third and Walnut streets, when
I, with others, went down to see what the - fuss
was; the others got ahead of me; when I got
down the crowd had formed a circle around
Starry, and I saw in his hand a pistol. [A pis
tol was shown.] It was like that ; he had his
hands inclined upwards; could not tell if the
hammer was drawn; the crowd then pushing around, the first thig I heard was the report
of the pistol ; was then pushing to get into the
crowd when I , heard the second report;
.I then
stepped back, but siw nothing more of the
prisoners; Reiff and Ashburn were then carried
away; heard nothing said in the crowd; there
was great excitement after the shot was fired;
am certain Reiff had no arms about him; saw
no weapon about except the one in the hands
of Starry.
arms Jikamitud.—l didn't go down to the
crowd because of any calls for the fourth regi
ment, but merely from Curiosity ; Reiff was with
the party that went with me ; could see the
crowd from where I was lying ; there was a cir
cle around Starry when I got to the crowd ; it
was soinewhere near the middle of the street,
rather down Walnut street ; the first thing I
saw was Starry with the pistol upend Reiff hav
ing hold of his arm ; Reiff was rather at his
side ; - did not see Reiff stagger or fall, there Was
too many around.
Baia. Flamm, sworn. 1 Was here on the
26th of July last.; went down'to the lager beer
saloon, five of us, and took a glass of beer,
when some strangers began to pitch into us ;
we all got outside, and I seen Starry having
one of our men down in the gutter kicking him;
after that I seen Starry on the cellar door, hav
ing one of our men punching him ; I then seen
a crowd up at the corner of Third and Walnut ;
I went up, and just as I got there a pistol was
fired, and the ball hit Reiff; Reiff was not with
me at the saloon ; saw no one have weapons
except Starry; after the shot was fired the
crowd gave way a little, and I seen Starry shoot
again, and the shot hit Ashburn ; Ashburn and

toe saloon to the pavement ; saw Starry on the
pavement; he was punchiug away at one of our
fellows ; the first one I seen with Starry was
in the gutter, the next was on a cellar door ;
suppose Starry got a couple of raps ; the next
time I saw Starry'was at the corner; there wee
five of our fellows and about thirty other men"
engaged in the fight at the saloon ; there were
about 160 persons at the corner when the shots
were fired ; I suppose it was the alarm of the
fight that brought the crowd together.
CAPT. AMMAR KitAIIIOI, affirmed—l was
standing on the morning that this difficulty oc
curred on the cellar door of the Mayor's office;
there was a kind of a rumpus in the bar room
in the Exchange; when I went o look in, . the

were on Starry when the crowd came out of
the ; restaurant were beating him ; some one
pulled the men off of Starry; Starry said when
he come up toqiiir. Herr and myself "that the
first person who would do anything to him he
would shoot." kir. Herr and myself told him
to put the pistol away ; I didn't see Starry have
a man down on a cellar door on the opposite
side of the street ; when the men who were
beating Slurry were taken away from him, he
went into the restaurant again ;'the crowd was
very large, filling up the street to the owners.
By the Commonwealth.—When Starry ogee out
