to drive away, but the crowd was
so dense as to make this impossible
and that for this reason E. G. Ingram,
who was driving, stopped the car and
they both got out, one on one side
and the other on the other. He saw
3urch Kirkley rush forward and
strike E. G. Ingram and continue to
strike him and beat him. He saw
that E. G. Ingram was giving way
and that blood was pouring from him
and he thought that if he did not in
terfere promptly that his brother, E.
:. Ingram, would be killed or suffer
serious physical injury and,in order to
save his brother he went to his rescue
and fired one shot at Kirkley in de-
fense of his brother with the pistol
ht had previously taken from E. G..
Ingram. He states, in the affidavit
that he knew that K. G.. Ingram was
unarmed; that he saw several broth
ers Of Burch Kirkley present in the
crowd while Kirkley was overpowering
and beating +. G. Ingram and it ap-
peared to him that it was necessary
to shoot to prevent the death or Sc
rious injury of E. G. Ingram. He de-
posed that he acted quickly, without
any malice and for the sole purpose
of protecting and defending his
brother and that as soon as the dan
ger to E. G. Ingram ceased, he did
nothing further and as soon as Burch
Kirkley died he surrendered to the
Sheriff of the County. The affidavit
further stated that L. l.. Ingram took
no part in the original difficulty be-
tween E. G. Ingram and Burch Kirk
ley except to act as peace-maker;
and that he took no part in the second
until it appeared absolutely necessary
for the protection of the life and
safety of his brother, E. G. Ingram.
