fying as to time and darkness of

Keel’s house when shots were
fired, could see some people in
yard, but couldn’t tell who they
were, saw four men leave and go
up the road, witness went to
ward river when shots were be
ing fired.
On redirect examination, wit
ness stated that he had been em

there one hour later, found ne
gro Slim with arm broken on a j
bed in a little outbuilding. Was
shot in right arm from behind

who told him how accident oc- J
curred. Negro first said it was |
an accident and Quinn told wit
ness how his pistol was dis
charged in getting off horse at
Ibarn, the bullet striking Slim’s
arm. The doctor also visited
and treated negro next day.
Marion Lance lived on other
side of river from Keel last May
land heard shooting on night of
j May 27; heard three shots fired,
first shot four or five minutes
before last two in succession.
J. F. Mason lived at Ingleside

were not over ten minutes a
part.
John Foster, 22 years old,
lived one-fourth mile from Keel’s

ask Slim about jewelry and ne
gro said he didn’t know. Slim
said May had the jewelry and if!

3een brought out and she and
Slim had each accused the other
)f stealing the jewelry.
J- F. McCuistion, sheriff, tes
ted that he had tried to find
•Slim”, but had never been able
0 locate him, Witness told
low a negro cook named San
lers, had asked him to stand
01 a fine imposed upon Maggie
ihelton and how he had done J
o, because Sanders was their

nce, however, was ruled out I
oy the court.

introduced. Robinson was a

The state at 2:30 o’clock this
afternoon closed its direct tes
timony and counsel for defense

conference of counsel for de
fense.

The least amount of work tired me

Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
