NJ, and head noise the direction Of Mrs.
Thompsou's housc, aud knowing Thompson had
been intoxicated during the day, supposed hu was
abusing his mother. aud went up 10 see he cause of
the disturbance, and that when he arrived within
few yards Of the house, the prisoner rushed upon
him. without speaking, shot him, and then cut
him with howIe-kuilc," of which wounds he
died.
The defence chiefly placed upon negati,ing
