had been appointed by his brother-in law

talk with Lawyer L. F.. Sinclair, now one
of Powers attorneys, and that Golden
could get $1,000 if he would leave the

made confession, that his brothers, who
lived there, advised him to stay away, as
they believed he would be killed

pert testimony as to the bullet in the

said it was copper filled and nickel plat

Mr.. Franklin announced that the side
would rest. and asked that the jury Le
