plead Justification on the grounds OF
the conduct Of Wilcox toward the wife
of the defendant. County Attorney ia

attempt to show that the shooting
which resulted in the death of VIII
cox was prompted by jealousy on the
part of Give.

night of the shooting he approached
the car in which Mrs. Give was sleep
ing, and that he heard her pleading
with Wilcox to leave her room, and
that he also heard Wilcox say:
You know 1 love you"
