Smith told the story of the tragedy

TO drive through but he had been re-
fused. He said that Mrs. Scott had
told Norton that there would have
been q road II he and his men had
not ridden night and day against her
petition for road. This Norton had
denied. Smith said, and had offered to
buy the right Of way across the land.
Mrs. Norton replied that Norton hadn't
enough money to buy one foot Of the
land, Smith stated, and that she didn't
want him tearing down the gate any
more, that she had powder and lead
and would sure burn it.

Smith said he was with Norton the
day he was killed and witnessed the

J. 7. Scott admitted to County Attor-
ney Orr in his presence that he fired
the shot which killed Norton, using a
rifle.
The defense made hard fight
against the admission Of this testi-
mony, contending that Scott made the
statement before he was warned that
it might be used against him. Sheriff
Nix testified that Gardner was not a
deputy sheriff at the time and the
court held the testimony admissible.
