Johnson replied to her, and she flew into a rage and started towards him. screaming and threatening to call the police. He kept her at arms length and follow cd her into the house because he wanted to prevent her from using the telephone, ss he did not want to become involved in trouble.

Engstrom would certain ly have interfered and it is signfi- cant that the state did not put the only witness on the stand.
