 Part of his insurance was made out to her as beneficiary and part to his creditors, Mrs Brumfield said. T know he had about $1,000," she said" He had a note standing at the bank and he told me he was go- ing to draw out money to pay the note. He also drew another cheek for $500. The note was not paid, so he must have had the money on him when he was killed
 None of the notes he had aut- standing were due and he was not needing money imm ediately.'
 Mrs. Brumfield declared that hel | husband frequently went out witt | his rifle in the car She described the gun as being a 30 calibre auto matic and declared that he took tn, gun out for a hunt Sunday and tha it was still in the car Wednesda. night.
