"I was in Round Rock when Sam Bass was killed. He and his gang rode into Round Rock to rob the only bank there. Billie Coffee was sheriff and Morris Moore was ex-sheriff of Travis County. They called in settlers to help when expecting trouble, so a bunch of settlers were at the back of the buildings with guns in readiness. Billie Coffee saw Sam's gun and warned the people that trouble was there. He rode up and told Sam to stick 'em up. Sam began shooting and so did Coffee. Morris Moore was shot in the shoulder and Billie Coffee killed. Sam Bass rode about a half of a mile out and fell. Old Doctor Black went out in his hack and brought him in and he lived about five hours. I went up and looked at him after he was laid out.
