Deposition of Henry Christie

On Sunday the 3d day of June 1866 about noon I saw the negro Bryant Langston under the Rail Road sheds in company with several others, the only one I knew beside him was Jim Jones.  Bryant said to Jim Jones "before that man shall go in jail tomorrow I lose the last drop of blood I got" and Jim Jones said "I don't know what I'll do but if they pitch in they'll find out"  I then walked off toward Griswold's Hotel.

I Henry Christie do solemnly swear that the above statement is true to the best of my knowledge and belief.
