Heard that Burnett had 5 5? said that he could stand it if the boys could. Orders were given to hold guns in air so as not to hurt anyone. Think they had nothing but powder and paper. They tired guns. Thad a horn. Had plow cutters along. Mr. Burnett came to window and said, ~ present when it was done. He was the only man with shot gun thet I saw.

Then Mr. Frank Wright came around and said, “I am the captain of this crowd, get out of here you S—b—'s or I Deceased was with party. We weut to Burnett's about 10 o'clock, to guess. Went to charivari him I B 4 eet him to treat. He had just got will shoot the heart out of every one married. When we first got there of you.” We all started to run. Some started before, but I did not, was waiting for Jesse, went there with him and if I could was going away we shot off 2 or 3 gunsin 8 or 10 feet of corner of house, then rang bells and raised 2 racket for a few minutes. Burnett came to window and raised it and said something and boys stopped to see what he had to say. He asked who was captain. We saidthat we did not have any. He said the Capt. had better get them together and get out of there. I said guessed the the Capt. was coming down the road (meaning Dan Gingrich.) About this time Frank Wright came around corner of house and said he was Capt. of that crowd or something to that effect, and then commenced shooting and went on shooting, I began to get out of there about that time. Think he had shot gun. We were on west end of house. Boys were pretty close together. There was no warning except what Burnett said. Shooting began in one or two minutes. Few minutes before shooting deceased had fired gun and seemed to be getting ready to re load. Wright came around the s. w. corner ot house. Boys began tc run at first shot. One or two came around corner with Wright. Wright fired twice toward boys, six or eight shots fired in all. 1st shot was gun, 2nd was pistol. 3rd was shot gun and then they kept on shooting. I stopped and rather turned around when about half way to fence and was shot with revolver, a 32 calibre. Four guns in crowd. Don't know I fell and heard shot going over me. Wright had shot gun and was point- ing it toward the crowd. Jesse Christoleer was in the crowd. I saw some one fall about half way between house and gate, and then walk and stagger and fall in road. Can't swear it was Jesse. Mitchell boys, out at big gate. Heard 2 or 3 shots fired while I was in yard and 2 or 3 after I left, some revolver shots and some gun shots. I went up road with boy and saw Wright come out to road and said, Ihave got one of the S—b--,” and then he hallowed: “boys; here is one of your men lying here, why don’t you come and take care of him.” I just saw Mr. Wright shoot once. Saw no one else shoot. Saw no one there with him. M. L. BURNETT: Live 5 miles southwest of Adrian. The charivari was at my house. Boys came between 9 and 10 o'clock. Mr. Wright told me and my wife to go to bed, if the boys came to act the fool he would scare them away. Mr. Wright came to my house somewhere between 8 and 10 o'clock. Thin sons, Perry.
