beating Roberts with his club. The cut on
the eide Of the head was made by TIE
sharp edge of the club After he killed

contained Cheers then buried the body in
the straw and he and his wife went to the
house, where he burnsS the club, the hat
and tie glasses Of Roberts.
Cheers when he learned OF his wife's con-
fession, corroborated her story. He stated
that he believed his wife was too intimate
