Q. You saw what? A. They were revolvers.
Q. Did Captain Jack at this interview represent this band? A. Yes, sir.
Q. And these other men listened and appeared to concur? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Were they there as representatives of the band? A. Yes, sir; I suppose they were.
Q. You say Captain Jack got up and went to the rear, and you saw him put his hand to his breast? A. Yes, sir.
Q. What then occurred? A. Well, he stepped back and came right up in front of General Canby, and said, in Indian, “All ready, boys,”—and the cap bursted, and before you could crack your finger he fired.
Q. You say this? A. Yes, sir; and after the cap bursted, before you could crack your finger, he fired and struck General Canby under the eye, and the ball came out here (showing). I jumped and ran then, and never stopped to look back any more. I saw General Canby fall over, and I expected he was killed, and I jumped and ran with all my might. I never looked back but once, and when I looked back Mr. Meacham was down, and my woman was down, and there was an Indian standing over Mr. Meacham and another Indian standing over her, and some two or three coming up to Mr. Meacham. Mr. Meacham was sort of lying down this way (showing), and had one of his hands sticking out.
Q. You saw General Canby fall, you say? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did he continue to lie where he fell? A. He was not when they found him; he was about thirty or forty yards from there. I did not see him get up.
Q. As soon as Captain Jack fired, what then occurred? A. They commenced firing all around. I could not tell who was firing except Schonchin here; I see him firing at Mr. Meacham, but the others were kind of up in behind me, and they were firing, and I did not turn around to look to see who it was. I thought it was warm times there.
