Brown opened the door and placed him
self behind it, and as Weaver passed into
the room, struck him over the head with
the bar of iron ; on the second blow he
fell and attempting to rise Brown thrust
a sharp iron bar through his head. Ennis
in his stal&ment, docs not confirm the
report of the fireing of the pistols, but
says, that having heard that Weaver was
shot, he asked Madison about it, and he
told I lim that no pistol had been fired and
that they . had no weapons but the bar of
iron mentioned. From the statement it
would seem that all of tlnwii had beaten
Baker.
After some further effort at the vault,
finding they could not get into it Madison
left ; Warrick, Sewcll and Brown remain
ed a short lime, then fired the house in
live different places, came out, locked the
door and went up the alley north from
the house, and 'threw the key away.
Brown took with him a gold watch and a
blue cloth cloak, which he said he had
thrown away for fear of detection, but did
not say where.
It seems from the statements, that En
nis, on the morning following, was in
company with all of them and many of
the lads he got Iroin others besides Madi
son. Warrick ami Sewcll said but little
about it. Madison had with him on the
morning following, the bar of iron with
which the deed was executed, atld Ennis
having learned the office it had perform
ed, took it ami threw it into a privy in the
rear of Leah's house. The vault was
yesterday searched and the bar found.
