A post-mortem revealed that the bullet which ended Fender’s life passed through the left lung and the lower portion of the heart. Fender was kept alive for ten hours by the use of a salt solution. The police have found an eyewitness to the shooting, M.H. Patterson, a white man, who positively identified Brooks as the man. Patterson says that he heard the negro threaten to shoot if Fender attempted to arrest him and that he saw the shots fired.
