Horbach ifhe did owe two rounds he
knocked the spriukling pot from the
counter, and it caught lIorbach's coat.
He struck him in the breast several
times, Horbach asking him, "what do

Thomas stepped back several feet,
throwing his hand back as IL to draw a
pistol. Witness stepped around think
ing a shot would be fired, and Horbach,
drawing his pistol with botlT hands,
fired and Thomas fell. Witness gave
a diagram of the building TO the jury,

weapon in Horbaeh's possession be-
