MRS. BALLANTYNElS
 DEFENSE WITNESS
Says Murdered Husband Had
 Threatened to Kill Family

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 25.-The story of the events which immediately preceded and followedthe shooting of Benjamin F. Ballantyne may be told in today's session of the court by Mrs. Elsie Browning Ballantyne, wife of the slain man and sister of John Browning, Jr., who, with his cousin. Mariner A. Browning, is on trial on first degree murder charge for slay- ing Ballantyne.
 During her testimony yesterday Mrs. Ballantyne told the story of her life from the time of her marriage in 1913 until just d short time before the say- ing of her husband. A hostility for her relatives was developed by Bal lantyne, she testified, beginning a short time after her marriage and de- veloping until it reached stage where he threatened death to the Browning family. Ballantyne threat ened that he might begin by killing her, she testified.
 Threatened to Kill.
 Mrs. Ballantyne testified that her husband had threatened John Brown ing in particular by saying If Jack ever tries to interfere in any of my affairs l will kill him just like l would anyone else who would inter fere'
 The first time Ballantyne had shown any resentment toward John M Browning, her father, Mrs. Balian- tyne said, was shortly after marriage when Mir Browning paid for some furniture BaHantyne had purchased on credit, Ballantyne claiming he had been humiliated and saying that the money should have been given to him that, he might pay the bill him self Other events showing Ballan- tyne's alleged hostility and resent ment toward tho Brownings were re- lated.
 In outlining its case, the dsfe1se stated it would show that Ballantyne had threatened the Browning family. that he had q peculiar disposition, and was cratic The defense said it also would prove that Mariner Browning, who admitted firing the fa- tal shot, did not hear Ballantyne's or der to John Browning to stay out of the Ballantyne home under penalty of death and that Mariner fired only when eNhortations for peace were use- less e

CUUNII UVDtVCh tiHf hVTiNd

Eight registered Jersey cows
and heifers, costing a total of
more than 5000, were brought
into Orange county the other
day. They were purchased for
farms roundabout Chapel Hill,
and their coming means one
more step in the movement to
make this a prosperous livestock
county.
Goodman Neville, who lives
out in the Bethel neighborhood,
gets two of the animals, one
year-old and one nine-months-
old heifer. One young COW was
bought for $3.50 by w. F. Haw-
kins, the colored tailor who
works in the O'Kelly establish
ment.
To bring the cattle from the
breeding farm in Alamance, R. P.
Harris started out from Chapel
Hill at half past three o'clock in
the morning in his Ford car
with Mr.. Neville, Mr.. Neville's
son, and Brady Lloyd. They
reached their destination about
five, got the cows together, and,
with one man driving the Ford
in the rear and the others walk
ing, they drove the Jerseys into
Chapel Hill.
The journey was made by
way of Buckhorn and Orange
Grove, and it took about nine
hours. The travellers got into
town toward the middle of the
afternoon, tired out and ready
for food and sleep.
On another trip trip last week.
Mr.. Harris brought a Jersey
calf in his car.
Three new cream separatOrs
have been put into service, in
the last few days, by Orange
farmers who are selling their
product regularly in Burlington.
These belong to Charles Dur
ham, Odell Blackwood, and
Brady Lloyd.
