wines IT, duce,i for the defendant. les
tifie in his favor. Mr. l.. { lonr., If
JonesborD, was then placed upon The
stand: he also made a statement in Full
ler's fayor. Next a railroad man of Fay
etteyille was put on the stand by the
state. He, of course, testified in favor of
the state. Col L c. Jones said he was
boarding al the house of Mrs. Carsous
when Parker was killed and had full
view of the occurrence; saw Fuller walk
ing I'D and down the street and sit down
at Mrs Cooks boarding house; then he
saw Captain Kingsbury coming down the
street; they met and when he looked he
saw Parker on top of Fuller; about that
time he heard a pistol fire, also saw
Parker get up and try to get something
out of Fuller's hand he was about seven
ty.ive wards from them, he saw Fullers
face very badly LIBERATED in the conflict;
re said it was only about fifteen feet from
where Fuller sat on Mrs. Cooks porch to
.here Parker lay at death Fuller had
Deen walking up and down the street In
front of John Steele's DR.. McDuftie who
mad been a practicing doctor 80 years and
ives at Fayetteville said he saw Fuller
4fter the fight and his face and head were
very bloody and or examination found
blood flowing from his left ear in conse
uuence of blows or whatever he had re
ceived on his head. There was one
wound on one side OF his head about two
and a bali inches long. The skin was
not broken but the hair was
knocked off. The wound on the left side
of his body gave him considerable trouble
for several days. He said all these wounds
we're inflicted by something harder than
the natural fist. The wound in his side
was purple three days after the prelimi
narv trial. Two broken ribs were dis
about our weeks after the first
examination. He attributes his illness in
Jail to the wounds received from Parker;
he (Fuller) was delirious for several days.
Parker's weight was about 175 pounds
while Fuller's was about 125, thus giving
him advantage in this respect. On being
cross questioned by the state the doctor
said be went to see him every day while
In Jail for a week and every other day
for a week longer, and that the blood
his nose could not have been caused
from a bleeding nose; | could not say
whether he said anything on the former
trial in regard to the wounds on his per
son or not.
The next witness introduced was DR.
H. w. Lilly, of Fayetteville. lie said he
had known Fuller all his life and he was
a man of good character, saw him u
.av after the murder in Jail and he ap
paared badly beaten. but he made no
critical examination only a cut above the
ear and it seemed as if some sharp llstru-
ment was used upon his head, did not see
possibly how the wounds could have
b zen caused by the opponents fist, and
the wounds on his neck was thought
probably caused by falling on some o
or something of that kind, or by some
sharp instrument, on being questioned
By the state said Fuller had not been in
the habit of carrying pistols or knucks,
Miss Lula Steele's sister, Emma, and
cousin, Addie Chandler, dressed in deep
were called to the stand and
asked did Mr.. Fuller say to Miss Chand-
Ter that he intended to go to Parker and
stop him and If he resented 1t he Woulo
kill him. No, was the reply; said they
were sitting on the porch and did not re
member his calling her.
