 Haynle testified that following the discovery of George Flakes note and his confession of the killing of Wal lace Wilson he decided to make an in- vestigation and suggested to s. D. M Flake that they make way with Will sons body. Flake and his wife, Haynie declared, fell in with the sug- gestion, but told him to wait until the next morning and see whether George was going to recover from the poison he had taken. Haynie also testified that old man Flake refused to join with him in a search for Will sons body and that he told him there was not much use looking for it, any way, that George had been down there that morning and said the hogs had about eaten it up.
 The hearing was postponed from the time set, 10 o'clock this morning, until o'clock this afternoon, in order to allow Prosecuting Attorney Wag- goner to confer with the states wit nesses. A total of 40 witnesses, 19 for the state and 21 for the defense, were summoned, but the state rested after six had been examined.
 Dr. G. w. L. Harrod was the first witness called. He said he was called to attend George Flake after 1t was discovered he had taken poison. Flake told the doctor he wanted to die and objected to taking medicine. Flake described his attack on Wilson as "hell of a blow," the doctor tes- tifed. Dr. Harrod said he joined the party which spent the night in the woods looking for Wilson's body and was found shortly after it was dis covered the following morning. Will sons head was served from the body as if with sharp knife all around the neck, except about two inches which apeared to have been torn off he testified. The flesh from the head had been stripped, apparently by hogs, he said, and there was frac- ture of the skull which would have caused death.
 Jim Frazier testified as to the search for the body and said there was practically no blood on the cloth ing, except on the hat, which had two gashes and a hole in it.
 w. C. Snow testified that none of the members of Flakes family at tended the inquest or came to the place where Wilson's body was found Justice of the Peace R. J. Hogan who held the inquest, read the note which he identified as being in George Flakes handwriting The note, which was introduced in evidence, was writ ten on the back of large envelope and reads as follows:
