when Henry broke the sash of a front

Lawrence ran, in the house for protection.
Then it was that Henry broke the
sash.
The evidence for the defense was that
James Anderson and another colored
man were fighting. Lawrence interferred
and the fracas resulted in "free fght'
/ in which Lawrence with razor in hand
chased Henry Macy.
Lawrence was f nslly forced to retreat
to his house and broke the sash by
throwing brick through it at the elder
Macy. Then he got a butcher

door threatening to cut anyone whC
came near him. Leiper also stated
