Page "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" Paragraph 95

Despite having bragged that he would kill the Earps or Doc Holliday at his first opportunity, once the shooting broke out, Wyatt told the court afterward that Ike Clanton ran forward and grabbed Wyatt, exclaiming that he was unarmed and did not want a fight.

To this protest Wyatt said he responded, " Go to fighting or get away!

" Clanton ran through the front door of Fly's boarding house and escaped, unwounded.

Billy Claiborne also ran from the fight.
