at Barney’s. I found Jimmy lying on the floor with Barney on the bed, the shotgun lying a couple of feet from Jimmy’s head. There was blood all around near the tools. I woke Scotty and Barney up. Scotty and I lifted Jimmy on the bed; he was in front; we lifted Jimmy over him. After remaining about one hour returned to Circle ranch. Don’t know who swept up the blood. Finding no one at home, went to Black Hawk. I rode a horse. When I started for water Jimmy was lying in bed and everything was quiet.”
