Q. Was he in any of the cities you were in at the time you were there excepting Chicago, Chattanooga and Milwaukee?
A. Not at the time I was there. He was there either before or after me.
Q. So those were the only three——
A. That I had a possible chance to shoot him, yes.
Q. Now state again, when he was at the La Salle Hotel, could you have shot him then?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. You were near enough to have shot him at the La Salle?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What prevented you from shooting him, was it that your courage gave way?
A. No, sir; not my courage didn't give way. As I said I didn't want to do it because it is his coming-in reception—man is getting there—I didn't want to do it for that sake. I thought I'd get a better chance.
