Q. Did the sound seem to come from that direction?
A. Yes; right behind me. At that time I was on the right flank.
Q. How far were you from the police when you heard the shot fired?
A. Half a block I suppose—perhaps not that far. They were standing on a porch elevated, perhaps, two or three feet.
Q. You judge from the sound that the shot came from the police?
A. If it didn't come from them, it came from very near them.
Q. Did you see any arms in their hands?
A. No.
Q. Did you see any pistols in their hands?
A. No; I was in the street and they were just the width of the pavement from me.
