A. Lowther recalled being immediately behind Alonzo Watson as both men knelt and fired, Watson through a crack and Lowther over the top with his left elbow at one time resting on Watson's shoulder, until a sudden thud struck Watson and he sank, saying, "Oh Lordy, I am a dead man," his last words, while Lowther remained in place loading and firing until the fight ended.
