Harrison Pool being sworn sayes he lives on this (Mr Allen Dials place) works for wages - was here this morning, saw Howard Martin Jno Watts and Arthur Workman going towards Monroe Nathan's house knew they came to arrest Monroe, knew that Monroe had broken his contracy with Mr Dial. My house is one hundred yards from Monroe's and in sight, saw the three men go into Monroe's house, could hear Monroe cussing Damed if he wouldnt die before he would give up. Mag. the wife of Monroe called me to come there, I went into the house and Jno Watts said to Monroe, here is a colored friend that will read the warrant for you I took it and read it, and told Monroe to go long with them... Monroe raised his pistol and fired at Watts, then Watts fired and kept falling back towards the door... Watts was the first man to come out after me, looked back said the job's finished I had to do it defending myself...
