punished for the death Of Sam Kramer,
killed during a quarrel in the former
| ca bin near Buffalo. Everett notified the
authorities when Kramer died and has
! told a straight story. He says that
| they quarreled and that Kramer reach
ed for his shot gun and that the two
men grappled. Everett tried to get
! possession OF the gun to save his own
/ life and that it was discharged during
| the struggle and Kramer was killed.
Everett has shot marks on one side OF
