Deceased called out and witness went to him and found him lying on the ground bleeding. Morse said Allen I'm a dead man. The barrel was lying on the ground beside him without the - it was a single barrel. Witness got a trap and took him to Tiltups end to Mr Wells.. This would be about an hour and a half after Morse was shot b- his- was out with the trap and did not come back for some time. Mr Wells did not do anything to deceased but advised his removal to the hospital. They took him there and he was admitted about eight in the evening.
