whom I do not know, joined in, and he and Brann fired
shot after shot at Mr. Davis as he rolled along the

I did not see what became of the other man."

Mr. James I. Moore said:

"I had met Tom Davis in front of my office in the
Pacific Hotel building, and we discussed the proposed
meeting at the city hall. He and I walked out on the
sidewalk just in front of my office. I stood at the south
side of the door facing north and Mr. Davis stood directly
in front of me on the sidewalk by the wall. We were
about two feet apart. While talking, W. C. Brann came
down the sidewalk from the direction of Austin Street.
He advanced within two feet of Mr. Davis and myself and
stopped; looked me squarely in the face and then at Mr.
Davis. I did not speak to Brann and don't think Davis
saw him until after he passed on. Brann passed on in
the direction of the postoffice. Almost immediately after
Brann left, Davis left me and walked up Fourth Street
towards his office, and I saw him cross the street to his
office. I then advanced to the edge of the sidewalk and
stood there alone about four or five minutes, when I
heard a shot in the direction of Davis' office. I looked
that way and three shots seemed to be fired almost
simultaneously. Davis fell to the sidewalk and writhed as

Davis, a very large man being close in Brann's rear.
