TESTIMONY FOR DEFENDANT.
w. C. WALLACE, swonn, said: was
born and brought up in Union town, but
Lee Schultz were friendly and courteous. /
was slightly acquainted with Moorman,
having seen him 3 pr iimes. Schultz
would weigh not less than 100 pounds, stout
built, large -limbed, and big-armed; he was
a good deal larger than Norman. Moor
man stood on small rise which put him on
| ground or inches higher than Schultz.
l was talking to George f. Miller when my
attention was drawn to these two gentlemen
standing in a quarrel. Norman had his
| pistol drawn, swinging down at his side, and
Schultz was speaking, When he finished,
| Moorman said in mighty loud voice. Don't
| you put your hands on me, sir. Don't you
touch me-" Then SCHULTZ spoke and mo-
toned with his left hand. When Schultz
lowered his hand Norman brought his pistol
| down. After both said few words Schultz
threw his right hand behind him, brushing
| his coat, and Norman threw the pistol up
| at his breast, holding it there while Schultz
wac speaking. AS he finished, Moorman
replied, tlourishing the pistol by way of en-
| phasis. When he lowered it the Convcrsa-
+ r'uumn I fSu -neurr@up to that time. He
| finished and Norman, drawing his pistol,
screamed at the top of his voice, "You are
n damn scoundrel and d s. of a b."
| After n moment Schultz threw his hand be-
| hind him, Norman stepped back step and
| lovelled his pistol. / looked at tho hammer
| expecting to sec it rise. looked at Schultz
and thought | could see the print of his
right hand under his coat behind him. BY
the time got my eye back up to the pistol
saw tho smoke and heard the report. At
that instant Schultz staggered, fell to the
right and recovered, threw his hands back
and fell backwards. Schultz seemed excited
and angry during the difficulty, and threw
his hand back for his pistol, as if he meant
to shoot l was about 30 feet Off. Norman
appealed to the crowd, saying, Gentlemen,
you saw him try to draw his pistol and shoot
me-" Norman afterwards walked up the
railroad towards Trial Justice Hills.
