Deposition of Miss X. V. Adams.

Being first duly sworn, witness testified as follows: My name is Xixenia
Volumnia Adams; I am the daughter of Frank G. Adams and the last
witness; I reside with them on the Flat, and my age is eighteen years. A
little past one o'clock on Sunday last my mother came running into the
house and informed me that a man was dying on the side-hill, from a
wound, and that I must go for father and the boys immediately. I ran as
fast as my legs would carry me to where they were "cleaning up," for
they never cleaned up week-days on the Flat, and told the news; we all
came back together and proceeded to the spot where the wounded man lay
weltering in his blood; he was cautiously removed to the cabin, where he
lingered until yesterday sundown, when he died.

Question. Did he speak after he reached the cabin? - A. He did
frequently; at first with great pain, but afterward more audibly and
intelligibly.

Q. What did he say? - A. First, to send for Squire Jacobs, the Assistant
District-Attorney, as he had a statement to make; and some time
afterward, to send for his wife; but we first of all sent for the
doctor.
