They also ray they never saw any quail, but I can assure your Honor there were four of them in the back room in a tin. I had wads for my gun, and I never used paper to load with in my life. As to the bullets, a blacksmith named Gibson gave 10 of them to me to shoot pigs, and I hope your Honor will find out the truth of what I am now saying to-morrow or some time. The detectives also say they never saw a wad cutter, but I tall your Honor it was close to the shot ponch, ami I repeat that the detectives have treated me very badly.
