The right Of q man to defend him

dicated by the United States Court
In an Arkansas case. A man with
two others came on the premises of his
brother-in-law to seize COW. lie drew
a revolver to intimidate the owner Of
the animal, and was thereupon struck
and killed. The court ut the trial held
that this killing was not justllable.. rs
the man must retreat inside his dwell
Ing house before he had right to fire
In self-defense. The Supreme Court
Overrules this decision. 1t holds that
a man on his own premises Ii where he
has right to be. II he did not provoke
an assault, ana believed his life In dan
ger, he was not obliged to retreat, and
was justified In meeting force with
force. This Ia cOmm0n-sense doctrine,
