Q. Tell the jury what you saw - begin at the beginning and tell it all as near as you can

A. When Rucker drove up I was aiming to get him to take me home; just in a minute or two after I got there Mr. Freeman and Mr. Anderson came up.

Q. Who is Mr. Anderson?

A. Anderson was a police. Mr Freeman asked Rucker what was the matter with him. He said, "Not anything" and started backing his car up over the curb and Mr Freeman shot one shot.
