The Spur Question

[RobertLC]

Roger,

As we know, Ferguson provided a sworn statement in the Peterson House shortly after midnight (probably approximately 12:45 A.M. or 1:00 A.M.). Interestingly enough, Tanner identifies him as James C. Ferguson.

However, according to the Tanner manuscript, Ferguson said:
"As he jumped over he pulled part of a state flag off & had part of it under his feet when he fell on the stage."

With a month, or so, of time passing between the Tanner statement and his trial testimony, Ferguson's story seems to be somewhat consistent.
