She was very kind in responding to
the enthusiastic encores, finally re-
turning after the last number was

 The convicted negro contended that he acted in defense of his own life. He pleaded self-defenee and said that Johnson and two friends were ad- vancing upon him with drawn weap- ons when he fired the fatal shot from what he called a ''peterkin" gun. It was shown that the two had formerly had trouble and that the killing was its outcome.
 Despite this, however, the State proved that Taylor could have avoid ed the homicide. The adversaries met at the picnic grounds. had some words, and Taylor, foreseeing trouble. went to a flying jimmy about twenty yards away, where he armed himself with the repeating gun.

 Bennett is charged with killing Bus ter Mcwhorter, a negro, at Ed Moore's store near Pickett Springs a year ago. The state's side is most damaging. It depended upon the dying declaration of Mc5VVhorter. who, according to an important witness. said before death that Bennett killed him on account of jealousy over a negress, Mary Ann Kennedy.
