man named David M. Horton, now
eighty-six years old, quite infrm, and
who walks with heavy stick in each

ised his wife (Horton's youngest
daughter) on her deathbed to take
care of the old man he refused to do
so, thinking the mad spell would wear
off Horton also had some angry
words with his wife and threw one OF
his walking sticks at her, but missed
her.
Soon after Odell stepped on the
piazza, and not thinking of any dan.
ger, but the old man was prepared for
his victim, and suddenly Selling Odell
by the arm, plunged knife into his
side three times, each time cutting
through his lungs. Then brandlshing
the bloody knife, he exclaimed, "Now,
d-n you die" and again stabbed
Odell, this time in the arm.
Odell recovered himself sufficiently
to knock Horton down, and Selling an
ak advanced on the PROSTATE man,
saying, "Who will die now" AS the
old man lay on the ground unable to
help himself, he thought his time had
come, but not for moment did he
weaken, but with old time daredevil
spirit, for which he has long been not.
ed, he cried, Kill me, d-n you;
you can't cheat me Of many days"
Odell hesitated with his ak appraised,
when another man. who had witnessed
the whole transaction, called out, "He
has killed you, Odell; l hear your
breath coming out of the wound; kill
him %
Odell replied, mo, he is an old
man and l will not kill him." and ex.
pired shortly afterwards.
