Mrs. Roller Collier testified that
Shiflett had struck her with a rock
and then her husband threw at him.
Robert, Rollers son, corroborated
his mothers testimony, adding that
he saw Shiflett draw a knife just

old and leaves his wife and two
children. He was a son of Daniel
Shiflett. of East Rockingham.
