Killed one man. but as, as at this time,

a short time thereafter. when he asked
her II she had told any one about

she had not: and he thereupon told her
If she ever told 1t, he would kill her
and from his actions upon that occa-
sion she became AFRAID of him. She
also stated that he reiterated his threat

two after that and she therefore kept
