LIVELY WILL PLEAD SELF.DEFENSE,

held In connection with the shoot
ing and killing Of Sid Hatfield and
Ed Chambers, Mingo mountaincers,

a statement made by him on the 5th

Il regret having had to shoot
either one of these men, he said,
! but II is case Of self-defensc,
pure and simple"
This is Lively's account of the
light on the Court House steps at
Welch:
About 1880 4. M, just before the
arrival of Hatfield and his party at
Court House, was sitting Oh the
ballustrade'' talking with a colorcd
man.
Il happened to look down the
steps and there stood Sid Hatfield

looked | noticed they were looking
at me. They exchanged glances.

something to Ed. that I could not

was using both. Sid Hatfield stag

Chambers rushed up the steps and
made an attack upon me with her
umbrella. l grabbed the umbrella
and threw it away and then walked
over to the office of A. C.. HuTord,

The bad reputation borne by The

particularly us it was known that
Sid Hatfield had often said that he
would kill Lively at the first oppor-
