to the pavement, and stabbed him in three places

that the parties had quarrel, but that Schaffer
had threatened, about two years before. to take
StickePs life.
The physician who attended Stickel testified to
the nature of the wounds and that the wound in the
side would have been fatal if the knife had penetra
ted far enough.

the first attack upon Schafer; that he drew knife
and in the scuffe the wounds were inflicted upon
his person by his own hands.

intended to kill Schafer that Schaffer then caught
Stickel by the throat, threw him down, struck and
kicked him; that Stcko got up, put the knife in his
pocket and commenced crying fire; saw no knife in
Schatfer's hands.
