Very rare manuscript DS, one page, 7.5 x 9.5, December 23, 1889. A legal deposition concerning the case of Roy B. Trent who allegedly shot at William Cox. Document reads: “In the case of Roy B. Trent. John C. Monier been duly sworn deposes and says I was standing bout 20 steps from the office. I saw a man standing inside the counter strike Wm. Cox with a stick. Wm. Cox run out. He followed him out.

Question by Roy B. Trent—Did you see Wm. Cox raise a Bar. Answer yes.

Question—What happened after he raised the Bar. Roy B. Trent shot at him twice.
Question by Roy B. Trent—did Wm. Cox come after me with a Bar. Answer—no. I then saw Wm. Cox run by Roy Bean’s house.” Signed along the bottom, “Sworn before me Roy Bean, J. P. Val Verde, Tex.”

Double cloth matted and framed with a portrait of Bean to an overall size of 21.5 x 17.25. Intersecting folds, a few creases, and some scattered mild toning, otherwise fine condition. It is likely that the described incident happened at Bean’s saloon as his house was situated right next door.
