State of Texas vs H.H. Frost

John Slayton sworn states I never saw anything that occurred  I met Henry Frost up the road  he told me that he had been in a difficulty with Baylass & the damned old scoundrel attempted to fight me - I then went to the house to rake potatoe ridges. When I got there Baylass was just gone & Mr. Frost came riding up directly to where I was inquiring for Baylass  I saw Baylass after he was shot  he was about a quarter of a mile from the house.
