MRS. GEO. STEWART.

Cole’s place at time of - killing. Cole
had said he expected to kill Johnson
on first sight.
GEO. W. STEWART.
Geo. W. Stewart, husband of pro
ceeding witness, corroborated testi
mony of his wife.
HARTFUL HOWHRD.
R. K. Howard talked with Cole on
morning of his death; latter stated
that he had whipped his wife that
morning, and that five men had come
to him (Cole) and told him if he wilted
he would kill him. Witness denied
that Cole had ever threatened before
him to kill Johnson. Told of a con
versation with Cole, in which latter
said the night before, he had tried to
get his wife to go home from Thomas,
but she refused and he had said then
he would have his way in the morning,
which meant a whipping.
Court then took an adjournment for
noon recess.
