Asked why Heywood was shot, he said, “he supposed the man who shot him,
whoever he might be, thought Heywood was going to shoot him. The fact that
the man was on the counter and turned round, as the papers say, and shot
him, is sufficient proof of this. Heywood went to his desk and the man
thought chat he was about to take a pistol out of the desk.” “That was an
unfortunate affair,” he continued, “and the man who did it, no doubt
regretted it immediately.”
