WHOEVER ANSWERS THIS QUESTION CORRECTLY WILL GET BRAINLIEST AND 100 POINTS Step One:
Exhibit A:
Bystander testimony of Jane Whitehouse for the defense
A Man came behind the Soldiers and walked backwards and forward, encouraging them to fire. The Captain stood on the left about three yards. The man touched one of the Soldiers upon the back and said fire, by God I'll stand by you. He was dressed in dark colored clothes… He did not look like an Officer. The man fired directly on the word and clap on the Shoulder. I am positive the man was not the Captain… I am sure he gave no orders… I saw one man take a chunk of wood from under his Coat throw it at a Soldier and knocked him. He fell on his face. His firelock was out of his hand… This was before any firing.

Exhibit B:
Bystander testimony of Daniel Calef for the Crown
I was present at the firing. I heard one of the Guns rattle. I turned about and looked and heard the officer who stood on the right in a line with the Soldiers give the word fire twice. I looked the Officer in the face when he gave the word and saw his mouth. He had on a red Coat, yellow Jacket and Silver laced hat, no trimming on his Coat. The Prisoner is the Officer I mean. I saw his face plain, the moon shone on it. I am sure of the man though I have not seen him since before yesterday when he came into Court with others. I knew him instantly. I ran upon the word fire being given about 30 feet off.
