The facts of the killing are substantially these:
Warner and young man named Brummett
were playing pool in Mandery's
saloon, and while engaged got into
quarrel for which they were elected from the
room without force, Warner became very
abusive, and Mandery started toward him for
the purpose of having him keep quiet, when the
assassin drew revolver and fired two shots, one
of which entered the victims forehead, produc-
ing almost instant death. He then ran to his
