This was amicably adjusted but i'll feeling again sprung up, and later Martin forbid COX coming on the place and had him arrested for trespassing.
 Al the trial It developed that Martin had not gathered the fodder on the place ana i, was going to waste. Cox was permitted to gather his half, which he did, and left if in the field to dry. Today he went there to convey it home and Martin and man named Payton were sitting at din- ner when he arrived and started for the lot Martin forbid Cox to enter the lot and as he continued his walk in that di- rection Martin fired upon him., Ten or lz buckshot entered the head and neck, almost severing the head from the body. Cox was never conscious after the shoot ing and could tell nothing. Martin would not talk. saying it all happened so hur- riedly he scarcely knew how 1t occurred. Cox was unarmed.
 Cox was brought to Clanton and given medical treatment. but died in two hours. The only eye witnesses to the transaction could not be seen tonight. A coroner 8 jury investigated the killing. though Mar tin does not deny having fired me shot which produced death. Cox leaves wife and stepdaughter of or 10 years besides relatives in southeast Alabama.
