  4 Oct 1879 Atty Wm M. Cravens Esq
 Mary J. Downs
 I reside at Chickasa Nation I.T. and know the defendant in this case, he married my sister. I knew Dick the deceased was my husband and they called him Dick Young, Mr Young is dead. He was killed. I was out of doors when he was killed, by sister in law Green Cook, Bud Cook and my husband were in the house. While my sister and her husband Green Cook were at the cowpen milking. I was in the house cooking. My husband called me into a side room and told me how he stood in the county about who he oed and who he did not owe, and told me if anything occurred, I would know what I had to get through the world with. He said he had ot a spite at Green and Bud Cook and he was not going to stand it any longer. He never told me that he had a spite at Green that is all he said. This was about a half hour before the shooting, after supper they all went out of doors that is my husband Bud and Green Cook and Frank Dorsey, They were not out there, but a few minutes until my husband gave some of them the ___
 Damned be and from that the shooting commenced. My husband started in the house and I started out and he stood me aside and went in after his gun. The reason I knew he was going in after his gun was that I saw it lying between his legs after he was dead. Green Cook and Bud Cook went in after him. When I came out the men outside were not saying anything. I did not see the shooting, I could not see into the house. the door was wide open. There was more than one shot fired but I couldn't say how many, they were fired so fast. When I went out all got into the back of the house. My husband did not holler. I went into the house and saw my husband laying there dead. and I commenced screaming, Bud and Green both came out before I went in and Dorsey was at the door step. I had two children, but not by Young. Green Cook had three children there, they were on the bed one of them was shot, but not dead. It died afterwards, she was shot in the head.
 I don't know how long the child lived, it was just shot with one bullet. the shooting occurred about thick dusk. Green Cook stayed there all night. Mr. Berge came there about two hours and a half after it was done. I saw Green the next morning, and did not see anything more of him for a long time. He left his wife and children there. He came back after a while and took his family away to Texas. He soon afterwards moved back and stayed there until arrested. A little over a month. My husband did not speak after he was shot. That I know of. He did not treat well. he said to curse me and the children sometimes and I might have cursed him sometimes. The child was shot with what the Doctor called a pistol shot. My busband did no fireing that I know of my husbands name was John Dhw (Dowle) My second husband, Young was 28 years old, I have told everything, I know, about the case. Young was lying in the middle of the floor when I went in. There was not much blood around there that I could see. There was no blood anywhere except where Young lay that I could see, There was no one hurt except Yound and the child, the bed the child was on stood behing the door that the men came in at. The child was 3 or 4 years old. My busband lay on the floor about two hours and a half. The gun was kept setting back between the beds. There were three beds in the room. Eugene McCarty, was not there during the shooting, because the next day, Mrs. John Hancock was there during the shooting. I cannot say where she was during the shooting. I have been married three times. I don't know where Bud Cook is. I have never seen him since.
 Cross Examination My husbands gun was a double barrelled shot gun.
Note:   Petersburg no longer exists. It was located in what is now the southeastern part of Jefferso
