I asked the officer of the guard if he had searched Magoffin to see if the had any weapons concealed about him. His reply was he had not supposing I had done it before I left Georgetown. I then went in the guardhouse and searched him myself. I asked him why he shot at us while we were running through the town not molesting him or any peaceable citizen. His reply was that he "was afraid that if he did not shoot us we would him. " We had some other conversation but nothing of importance that evening. I made some hard threats against him; talked very severe to him. the next morning after he had received a visit from his wife and daughter he admitted to me that he shot at me, or what he supposed to the commander of the forces coming into town, but at the same time carried the idea that e was forced to do it to protect himself.
