Isam N. Tooke being duly sworn according to law doth depose & state as follows - I was present [[strikethrough]] at [[/strikethrough]] before Mr. Wm. M. Smiths store on the evening of Thursday last at the time of the difficulty between Harry Taylor & Jim Moore. Moore was trying to take Harry away when he swung loose from him I saw his walking stick in Harry's hand but did not see him [[strikethrough]] either [[/strikethrough]] strike him. I saw him throw his stick around when he swung loose from. He may have hit him but I did not see it if he did.
