 "Woolman took back water" said Col. Murphy. and said that he would stay. Before this time he had ire quently given Hull medicine He had helped Hull about his doctor, and had befriended him Woolman knew that it was about time to give Hull the medicine and thought that if he could go in there and give it that he could get out of the house from Hul's room. Woolman saw the pis- tol was gone and was afraid to try to go out of the house through the front, for fear she would shoot him, so he went to the rear and intended coming around through Hul's room and getting pvt He put the over coat on his arm and started out and at the door listened. She was in her room, and he went in IIull's room and she followed him in there.
 You are going, are you?' she ask ed Woolman.
 Yes, I think it is best he answer. ed
 You go back" she ordered "You want 10 go home to that dear little daughter of yours'
 Col Murphy said that here she drew back the hatchet she held in her hands and said.
 If you don't go back to my room I will kill you"
 Wooman then put his oyercoat on the chair and took hold of her. He took the hatchet from her and threw if on the bed, just as Hull said it was thrown. She came out with a pistol and he struggled for that and the pistol went off. probably three times or probably more.
 'IIe threw the hatchet away when he took it from her" said Col Mur- phy, and l ask you to reconcile that fact with this charge of murder as we proceed with this case.
 Hull says she fell and that Wool. man straddled her body and fired two shots and then fired another one. Woolman has no recollection of this. He has no recollection of taking the pistol from her He was very nerv- ous and in bad health He could not carry on a connected conversation for some time, and friends with whom he talked noticed this Physicians who knew him well will testify to this condition.
 "The state contends that two Of the bullets passed through the body of the woman I have tried to get some information as to where those two bullets went Nobody seemed to know They did not make any ill., dention or leave any sign of having gone on the carpet of the room. If they were fired as Hull says, and went through the body. and she was on the floor, where did the bullets go?

 She would go after him and fly into a passion when she did not get him. She quarreled with him all the ime but he never quarreled win CT. He realized that something was wrong with her and he would not quarrel back She would quarrel with him about his daughter, and say Oh, it is that dear little daughter of yours, is it? She would later cry and and be sorry for her acts and would beg his forgiveness and be re- pentant
 "On the night of the tragedy she called him early, and then called him again after he had gone home from the lodge. Another man had been with her from 7:3O o'clock until aft CT 10 o'clock We do not know who that man was. After he went she phoned Woolman. He had an excuse to offer, and she said she would come after him and get him. He went to her house. She was at The door when he got there, and told him she had just started after him. She be- gan quarreling with him, and for long time she quarreled and later they all went to the room and went to bed

 Woolman's Testimony.
 Col Murphy at this point of the presentation of the defense gave something of what Woolman would testify in the case According to the evidence that Woolman would give, he did not know when Mrs. Welborn got up to give Hull the medicine a o'clock He awakened about or o'clock and she was yet asleep Woolman got up quietly so that he might get out before other boarders were aroused and know he had slept here and so neighbors would not know he was leaving in the morning. He intended to dress and slip ouY He had so far carried out this pro- gram that he was all dressed and had thrown his overcoat over his arm when she awoke.
 What are you going to do?' Col. Murphy said the woman asked, as she awoke from her sleep and saw Woolman dressed He explained tha' he was going to go home, and wanted to get out of the house before the boarders knew he had slept there and so the neighbors would not see him.

The Defense Outlined.

Col. Murphy. the veteran criminal lawyer who has taken part in most of the big criminal proceedings in Garland county. was in court yester- day morning, and took an active part when he outlined the defense of the case. He opened by stating that Q had been warned by physicians to refrain from too much exertion and that he would ask the jurors to be indulgent with him.
 He reviewed, in brief, the various phases of murder and manslaughter, and said that the idea of any malice being shown in this case will not be sustained by the witnesses for the state We will depend largely on the states case for the defense in this cause" said Col. Murphy.
 "The killing was involuntary and the facts preclude the question of manslaughter The only chance to convict Woolman of anything is to reach the conclusion that he was per forming some unlawful act and in doing that involnntarily killed The deceased At the time of the killing he was not acting unlawfully, but was acting within his rights"
 Col. Murphy urged the jury to re- member that Woolman was being tried for this killing and not for his former immoral acts with the wom- an That had nothing to do with the case, except in so far as it might shed ngEt on the case.
