cotton at. told Way that he had sold
IL at the market price and that he
had not expected to get twelve and n.
half cents as he knew that cotton was
not bringing that much. Upon this
Way had asked IL he was calling him
liar. saying that he did not take
lie of anyone. and that he would kill
Broadway II he did not take Il back.
Broadway had gone into the store to
try to get a pistol from Conyery
White. who kept the store. but Marie
White took the pistol and Broadway
turned off to go out Of the
store. AS he got to the steps Way
threw a bottle at him. but 1t missed
Its mark and hit the door. Broadway
In lodging the bottle stumbled out Of
the door and Way cut him. This I,
the evidence set up by the State,
while the defense set up evidence
quite different.
Broadway was In the store when
Way stopped there to buy some sugar
and as the package was being wrap
ped up broadway had cursed Way,
telling him to go to hell, he didn't
like him anymore. At the same time
Broadway called Way a liar ond ap-
piled vile epithet to him. Doh Of
the men had gone outside Of the
store and Broadway cursed Way
again. telling him that he would kill
him. Broadway then went ;ato tho
store and went behind the counter,
where he spoke to Conyers White.
When he came out he again stated
that he would kill Way and advanced
upon him with his left hand In his
hip pocket and hitting at Way with
the other hand. Way had backed out
Of the store and had thrown q soda
water bottle at Broadway as he
came out Of the door. Broadway
continued to advance and Way cut
him.
Way then went into the store and
got his package and handed Broad
way his hat as he passed out on
his way home. The negroes In the
store had bound up Broadway's
wound and sent for someone to take
care Of him.
The case had progressed this far
when court adjourned for it's noon
recess. DR.. +. K. Holman. who had
attended Broadway. had not appeared
ed to testify to the wound. but Il
wis shown to the jury by Broadway.
At the afternoon session the case was
resumed and Broadway was put back
on the stand to contradict the evil
dence given by Way. DR.. +. X. Hol-
man testified to the fact that Broad
way was drunk at the time that he
ives called IN to attend him. This
ives contradiction Of what Broad
~sy had said when he was on the
fsnd. He said that ne had bought
some wb;skey In Sumter the morning
ne was mere, but that he was not
drunk at the time that the cutting
occurred. Way also stated that he
dc not know whether or not Broad
way was drunk at the time.
When the case was submitted to
the jury. after arguments by the
State and defense. II was only a short
time before verdict OF guilty was
returned. A motion was made for
new trial and 1t is probable that
II viii be granted.

defendant and Messrs. L. d. Jennings
and Solicitor stoll represented the
