defended his own photograph. But
he killed Leander Roger while

stroy the record, testimony showed.
Winchester tried to pacify Ko-
ger, out continued to play the ma
chine. Finally the quarrel grew
so severe that Winchester shot Ko.
ger to death.
Roger shortly before had broken
q banjo over musicians head
