Personally appeared before me Saml. Wright a Justice of the Peace in and for said County, Noah C. Calhoun, and after being duly sworn deposeth and saith, that he was present during the said Monday the 28th day of March, in Charleston, and on his oath says that he saw Nelson Wells shoot at a soldier at the south East corner of Esq. Tomlins office, saw some man with dark clothing and yellow color low crown hat pass from the West end of G. Teels office and shoot at a soldier. Think it was Oliver Sallee. Did not know the man and further saith not.
