Boulevard, which I did. And no one followed us down there. I stayed at the Boulevard for some time.


Q. What time was it then ?


A. Oh it was midnight by then or close around midnight. I went into the doctor’s there and used the ’phone a couple of times and he also dressed some of our men for us.


Q. That is, a doctor on St. Joseph Street?


A. St. Valier, yes, St. Joseph, on St. Joseph Street.


Q. Dr Leclerc?


A. Yes, I think that is the man, a big stout doctor. He gave me permission to use his ’phone, and I stayed there for a little while. Things were quiet and I came back down to the Merger Building and they had the Police ambulance which came in the meantime before we moved away from the corner ; in a very short time the police ambulance came and took away the two that were up on the side street. I came back to the Merger and everything was very quiet. I went up myself afterwards.


Q. Everything was over at the time ?


A. Went on up myself afterwards and things were very quiet.


Q. While you were standing at the corner of Bagot and St. Valier Streets did you fire yourself with your revolver?


A. I did.


Q. How many shots?


A. I could not say whether it was four or five shots. I fired across at the other corner.


Q. Towards St. Jude Street?


A. No, across here to where the siphon was, near where that siphon…


Q. Did you fire towards Laviolette Street?


A. Over to the corner.


Q. Where the snipers stood, that is what you say?


A. Yes.
