band, and himself
 B. K. Williams denied the state ments made by Cash and Robeson and asked that Judge Leonard examine Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Williams then took the stand. Her manner was agi- tated and extremely nervous. She testified in part as follows:
 If MT. Williams made threat to kill Cash I never. heard it, she said, and I was present all of the time, with the exception of a few seconds. 1 cannot swear that MT. Williams said he would kill Cash. | was at the house of MT. Robeson on Wednesday evening about g o'clock Mir Cash was also there. I was sitting on one side of the room and MT. Cash was on the other side of the room. MT Robeson was seated in the middle of the room. MT. Williams came to the house and entered the front door. MT. Williams had gun in his hand. As he enter , ed the room somebody switched of the light and both Cash and Robeson covered MT. Williams with their guns When the light was turned of step ped into an adjoining room." Mrs. Williams repeatedly made the statement that she could not swear that her husband made any threat to kill Cash. She stated that her hus- band had said to her and Cash: You'll both suffer for this"
 Continuing her testimony Mrs. Will Hams said:
 Part of the time the men were on the front porch talking. I started to came out just behind me. While in the house I told MT. Williams I would never own up to doing wrong even if he killed me-"
 In describing the scene in the house when Mir. Williams entered the wit ness said:
 T was sitting on a bed on one side of the room and MT. Cash was across the room sitting down. MT. Robe son was in the center. My husband came upon the front porch. The towards the back of the house. All three of the men had their guns out. ''B. K" told me to go home. I told him I would go home when ! got ready. Both Cash and MT. Williams had their guns drawn on each other when the lights were turned on again and Robeson had his gun pointed at MT. Williams.
 At this juncture Cash wanted the Judge to ask Mrs. Williams why she came to the house of Robeson but the question was later withdrawn.
 In conclusion Mrs. Williams said she did not hear any threats made to kill but it might have been said with out her hearing although she did not think it possible While Cash and MT. Williams were quarreling the wit ness said she heard her husband say to Cash: T am going to show you up to the married men of MOrencf. MT. RobeSon was called again and said that he had received word from woman that Mrs. B. K. Williams was in serious condition on account of a severe beating which she had re- ceived from her husband on Saturday or Sunday last, and was unable 70 leave her house and was in want of assistance. I went to see her and told her l and others would do any thing to help her. Mrs. Williams told him she wanted to get out of the town. Robeson said he told her that there were enough men in town who would make up purse for her. It was in reference to this matter that Mrs. Williams came to his house on Wednesday evening according to the statement of Robeson. MT. Rus sell had been there. talking with us about the matter but left when he saw Mrs. Williams coming"
 Mrs. Williams was recalled and ad-
 
 her husband and Cash first started, about a week ago, that he told her to pack her things and he would fur nish the money for her to leave Mo renci but she said she did not get the money although her husband showed her a negotiable note at the bank for S150.00. In answer to a question from her husband Mrs. Williams replied that her husband had never refused to give her money to leave on. She admitted that she went to the house of Robeson on Wednesday night for the purpose of getting financial assist ance to leave town.
 The above is the substance of the testimony as brought out at the hear ing but a great deal of testimony was not brought out on Friday, which, if told in open court, would have thrown the light on the cause of the trouble between Cash and Williams, who up until Saturday morning last, had been close friends. Through it all is a story of domestic infelicity, charges of in- fidelity by the husband on the part of the wife; a story of whipping told by the wife to Cash and Robeson, the whole affair ending in an assault with
 gun on Williams by Cash on Friday morning last.
