Q. That is the first one that was killed ?


A. No sir, I should doubt that. No shooting took place by the military until the shooting I refer to, which was up Bagot Street, and that man was killed at that time. Previous to that no shooting had occurred on St. Valier Street.


Q. I say that because I was telephoned for this one first and a few minutes after for the other one ?


A. If that man was shot up there, he was shot by others, that man ; no shooting had taken place in that direction up to that time.


Q. I dont know what time I was informed for the first one ; the first one I was informed, that is all.


A. He may be the first one.


MR. BARCLAY : If he was killed at first it could not have been by the soldiers ?


A. It was not by men of our command, of our troops there.
