questioning by his chief counsel, John

was killed, he related the relations be-
tween the dead Man and his sister In

He gave his residence as Welch, w.

peper on the night of the tragedy was
due to information sent him by Mrs.

picions as to Viola's condition.
How did you regard Bywaters?" he
was asked
''He had always enjoyed our full
confidence he replied. 1--WE knew
that Viola loved him and regarded
them as practically engaged"
His story continued with state
ment concerning the demand he made
on Bywaters to marry Viola.
"Rev. DR.. Ware was to come and
marry them, and, thought then that
everything would end all right. After
the ceremony Bywaters' whole manner
changed. He became Indifferent to
Viola and insolent to Mrs. Gaines. He
seemed to think that his Obligation to
Viola was over when he married her"
Referring to the quarrel between By
waters and the members of the Stro-
ther family, the defendant said that
Bywaters grew abusive when de-
mand was made that he remain witt,

perately ill., and it was Bywaters' place
as her husband to be with her"

afraid of you. I'm brave man."
At this juncture, the witness stated,
Mrs. Gaines declared to Bywaters,

law, William Bywaters, admitted on
the witness stand that, while he had
not anticipated trouble, he "shot to
