Dr. Olive Wilson being duly sworn in behalf of the State testified as follows:
Q. Your name is Dr. Olive Wilson?
A. On W. Emerson in the city of Paragould.
Q. In regard to the Post Office in Paragould, where do you live?
Q. Louis Crowley, Defendant in this case, is charged with murder.
It is alleged that on the morning of May 14th of this year he
shot and killed George Smith at our near Post Office door in
Paragould. It is claimed by the State that this was done about
three o'clock in the morning. If you know anything about the
killing of George Smith, I wish you would begin at the beginning
of the matter and tell Judge Thompson just what you heard and
A. I was awakened by a loud report. I jumped out of bed and ran
to the front window and saw nothing. I ran down stairs and
looked out then went up again and as I got up stairs I heard
some one crying and screaming out, "Jack, let me in I am shot
let me in, Jack, I am shot, Jack, let me in." I knew something
dreadful had happened. I ran down stairs againand started to
the front door, then ran almost to the front gate and they said
a man was shot in the Post Office. I ran up stairs and dressed
and ran across the street. They let me into the back part of
the Post Office and this man was laying on the flor.
Here Miss Lee Harris continued taking the testimony and the balance
thereof was taken by Miss Willie Smith.
Doctor Olive Wilson testified as follows:
Q. Doctor, tell the court whether or not after you got over to the
post office George Smith said anything about dying or whether
or not he would survive the shot and wound. You may tell what
he said or in substance what was said about whether he believed
or thought he would die from the effects of the wound.
A. He asked me if I thought his bowels had been shot. I said, "It
looks like it." He said, "If they are I will die."
Q. After he made that statement, tell the court whether or not he
made any other statement about whether or not he would survive
the wound. That is, did he make any voluntary statement as to
Q. Don't remember anything else he said?
Q. Tell the court how he said he came to be shot?
A. He said that he was coming along the street and the man he had
mentioned, Louis Crowley, kept walking along and stopping and
walking a little further and stopping and that he kept following.
Then he lost sight of him and when he had gotten in front of the
post office door, this man jumped out from behind the post office
at the side of the post office and when he saw him raise a gun
he jumped to one side. He said he fired and shot him.
Q. Where, if stated, did he say he first saw Crowley just before
A. I did not hear him say.
Q. Tell the court what distance there was he said between him and
Crowley when Crowley shot him?
A. He said the man had been right on him nearly. I guess about
Q. About ten feet. Tell the court if he was asked directly and
possitively if he knew who shot him?
A. I said, "Who done it?" He said, "Louis Crowley, I saw him."
Q. Tell the court whether or not he stated whether he recognized
Crowley at the time he was following him and before he was shot?
A. I did not hear him say.
Q. Tell the court whether or not he stated whether he was doing or
attempting to do any harm to Crowley when Crowley shot him?
Q. What time of the day or night was this shooting done?
A. After they had taken him away from the post office, I came in to
finish dressing in my own house and I looked at the clock and it
was twenty minutes to four.
Q. In your judgement, Doctor, how long was that after the gun shot
A. Fifteen or twenty minutes.
Q. How many shots were fired, Doctor?
A. It sounded to me like one with two notes.
Q. If I understand you by that expression, you mean two shots
A. Yes, sir, with two different sounds.
Q. Tell the court whether or not there was a difference in the sound
of the two guns, as to whether one was large and the other small.
A. It sounded like "Boom" "Crack".
A. It sounded like it was almost together with the "Boom" first
Q. I take it Doctor that you did not serve in the war and are
not altogether familiar with firearms, but do you know the
difference in the sound in a gun and a revolver?
Q. As a physican did you come to the Sanatarium or go anywhere
and dress or assit in dressing the wound of George Smith?
A. I did, it was done at the Sanatarium.
Q. I wish you would name the other Doctors who assisted
A. Dr. Paul Dickson, Dr. W.R. Owens and Dr. E.S. Baker.
Q. What time was he operated on?
A. It was twenty minutes to five when I begin giving the anaesthetic
and the operation followed at once.
Q. Where was he shot, Dr. Wilson?
A. In the right side of the abdomen.
Q. Will ask you if it is true or not that the shot struck him where
the watch pocket in a man's trousers are or not?
A. Yes, sir, in about that region.
Q. Did you see any of the shot that was taken out of his body?
Q. Were they large or small, Doctor, if you know?
Q. Tell the court whether the shot penetrated deep into him. That
is, did they go into his backbone or did they stop in his intestines?
A. I know some of them stopped in his intestines. I gave the anaes-
thetic and I do not know. I saw the bowel and it was perforated.
Q. That shooting took place on last Sunday morning a week ago and
in the city of Paragould, Greene County, Arkansas, did it not?
Q. Tell the court whether or not George Smith is living or dead.
Q. You may tell the court whether or not he died from the effects
Q. Dr. Wilson, tell the court whether or not there are any shade
trees or other obstructions at the post office that would be prevent
the man shooting from being plain and objects easily seen at the
Q. Was it clear or cloudy?
Q. Tell the court how high, as best as you know, the moon was shining
at the time of the shootong.
A. I saw the man coming for me about one-half the way across the
street. I recognized that he had on a cap, a cap like goes with
a uniform. He was a tall slender man and wore a cap.
Q. How far is it from your house to the front gate?
Q. And I believe the street is 60 feet.
Q. So you were looking at this man some 30 or 60 feet?
Q. So you were looking at this man some 50 or 60 feet?
Q. Tell the court whether or not at the time of the shooting one
coud have recognized a man 60 feet away at the place of this
shooting, in your judgement I mean?
Q. Tell the court what the chances would have been for one well
acquainted with another to have known him at 10 to 15 feet?
Q. Whereabouts in the heavens was the moon?
A. Just about where the sun would be not far from noon.

Q. Do you know who fired the gun?
A. It sounded to me like it was in the front part of the Post Office,
or a little to the corner and not directly in front. It sounded like
it was to the northwest corner.

make any noise out in that part of the building?

A. The first words that I heard, as well as I remember now, were,

a doctor. I asked what doctor he wanted and he said call Doctor
Wilson as she was the nearest by.
Q. What, if anything, did he say about say about being killed
or wheather the wound would be fatal?
A. Well, after he asked me to call the Doctor, I went out of the
Post Office and called for Doctor Wilson and after calling her
and finding that she was awake and would come over. I went
immeadiately back, and as I got back I think it was Henry
Langley who proceeded me in the door and as I opened the
middle door, Langley and I went in about the same time.
Anyway we went in about the same time and in the same
door. I could not say how long after that, but just a few
instances, however, until Mr. W.C. Thomas came in. Mr.
came and bent himself over Mr. Smith and Mr. Smith stated
to him about the same thing he had stated to me before
Thomas entered and he said he was killed. Thomas tried
to pacificy the man by telling the man that he was not
dying and that he might revive or recover, or something
to that effect, and Smith affirmed that he had a fatal shot
Q. Tell the court what statement, if any, were made by George
Smith as to who shot him and the circumstances of the
shooting after he had stated that he was fatally wounded
A. It was only a few minutes until Mr. J. Harry McPherson
came in and Mr. McPherson asked him how it happened
and he went more in details in telling him who did it
and of the incident that he had made previously. In fact,
I had asked him no questions as I was busy trying to get
his relief and waiting on the wounded man. If I remember
right, he told Mr. McPherson that he was coming up Emerson
street and that Mr. Crowley was ahead of him and he noticed
him look back over his shoulder and as he got up near the
Post Office he lost sight of the man, and as he, Smith, got
even with the front door of the Post Office he started
into the Post Office and Louis Crowley turned around from
the corner of the Post Office with a double barrelled shotgun
and shot him in the place he indicated.
Q. Tell the court wheather or not he stated that he recognized
the man as being Louis Crowley before the instant he shot
A. I did not hear him say that he recognized him until the instant
he turned around with the gun and he said he saw him face to
face. I did not hear him say whether he recognized him before
Q. Tell the court whether or not he stated that this man had a gun
or if he saw him with a gun as he came up the street, or that the
first time he saw him with a gun was the instant he shot him?

A. Said he saw him face to face. I heard him repeat that statement
at the time he was laying in the Post Office.

Crowley at the time he was shot.
A I don't remember whether I noticed him saying the distance he
was away from him or not.
Q. Tell the court if he said where Louis Crowley was when he fired
A. He said just about the corner of the Post Office.
Q. You may tell the court whether or not the moon was shinning at
the time the shooting took place.

Q. Tell the court whether or not one could have distinguished objects
and persons out in the open street at the place where this shooting

recognized him with certainty?
