John Gary, sworn sayes, on Monday the 29th inst. John Weston and myself were hunting, we had a squirrel tied, as we went up to the tree we saw the squirrel John cocked his gun, I cautioned him not to carry his gun cocked. I shot and killed the squirrel., John saw another and called me, I told him to shoot it while I was loading my gun I heard the shot, and looked round I saw him with hand on his stomach turning round and round, I asked him how he got shot, he said his gun was cocked and the dogs were running past him, and struck the hammer and the gun went off and shot him; his clothes were burning and he was putting it out, when I saw him, I asked him if he could walk he said not and told me not to leave him, I just stood and hollered for help...
