thing to think about.
Did you ever know a man with
good business sense to invest his
money in a business or property
without first making some kind Of
an investigation, or if he was not an
expert to employ one to pass on it
before he closed the deal?
How many of you buy and order

who was exhonerated of any con-
nection with the killing.
When the examination of wit
nesses had been finished Mr.. Holton
took the stand and made a state
ment. 1t was of considerable length,
and he read it. He was calm and
seemed confident that he could show
his act justifiable. He related the
entire transaction Of the afternoon.

taken place, Mr. Cochran reopened
the quarrel. After some hot words

he shot at him twice to stop him.
He said that Mr.. Cochran did not
stop, and he fired again several
times. He said that he shot to pre-
vent Mr.. Cochran from killing him
