he (Broadus) had shot at him from behiad
putting four buckshot into him. William
L. Orange, father of tho deceased, testified
to the time at which the killing was done,
and gave his sons words at the time. He
said that his son did not believe that the
shooting was Intentional, and that Broadus
had himself said, at the time of tho
shooting, that be did not think he wos
shooting at anything but q Log and had
assisted the wounded boy to tina nearest
house. Mr.. Orange further testified to the
sending to Palatka and Interlachen for Drs.
Strauss and Whip, and to the manner of
operation performed by DIR. Strauss, going
most graphically into the details of what
must have been terrible ordeal to the
friends and relatives who were present. The
evidence given by Mr.. Orange was in svery
way favorable to the boy Broadus, who he
said did not bear an enviable character in
the neighborhood, but he was confident did
not shoot or kill his son Intentionally. The
court discharged the prisoner. there being
no evidence to show Intentional shooting
upon his part at the deceased.
