Ninth street NV. October IL.
He told the jury yesterday that he
shot in self-defense. A few hours
before the Staying both he and Harris
had been arrested on charges of dis
orderly conduct growing out Of . fist
fight.
They had beat me and stomped
on me-" Tapponnier related, referring
to Harris and his companions, land
I just couldn't stand another beat
ing" He said he borrowed the gun
in order to protect himself.
A half dozen policemen followed the
defendant on the witness stand and
testified that the dead man had q
reputation for violence.

explaining in detail the motives for
his actions. His attorney, James A.

with questions.
