 T said I did not care if we did. I went to Selfs house between II and 12 o'clock Monday night and met Self. We went direct to Moore's place and got there about 12 o'clock. Self held my foot anI helped me through . window, which was built up about seven. feet from the ground. After I got in I caught hold of Self's hand and pulled him up after me. We heard the woman speak and ask Moore if he had heard anything. Moore replied that 1t was nothing and to so to sleep.
 We went into the parlor and Self lighted a lamp, The lamp awakened Moore, who asked who was there and what we wanted I said I understand you want to shoot me and have come to give you the job and then shot him and killed him. The woman be- gan to beg for her life and Self told her we should not kHl her if she would get us all the money she had in the house. She got ~ or s5 and gave 1t to Self. who told her 1t was not enough and that she must get him s25 more or he would kill her. He also told her to get him . razor.

 "She claimed not to have any more money about the house. but said she would get 1t for him if he would not kill her. Self then cut at her with the razor. but she ran away and Self caught her at the front steps and held her and cut her throat with the razor she had given him. We then left and went to Self's house again. Self got his horse and buggy out which we httched up. Self drove me towards Goodwater until near daylight. When. we came to the home of Jim Parker. Self suggested that we get mule from Parker's stable and that escape on It while he returned to Equality. T said alright. We took the mule anI Self returned. rode the mule eleven miles between that time and daylight and hid near Gcodwater. where was captured" a ~
 Self. when questioned about the nesfos story. denied all knowledge of the crime and says that he was at home Monday night and can prove It. He says that he can give no expiana. tion for the negro duplicating him. He admits knowing the negro Davis and the Moore negro family. He claims that he can easily prove his in. nocence when the time comes.
 Officers who are familiar, with the section and people in aud about Equality say that the statement of the negro Davis will carry considerable weight because of the life self is said 70 lead. Self, 1t is said. keeps com. frequenter of their reSorts and homes
