Judge William M. Loker.
Mrs. Robertson was killed with q
shotgun and her husband, John
wounded in the arm after a drinking
party. Thompson took the stand at
the opening of the trial Wednesday
and admitted the shooting. asserting
he shot Robertson after the latter
had struck him and ordered him
from the house
Mrs. Robertson was shot, Thomp-
son said, after he warned her to
stay out of the yard.
Defense attorneys maintained that
Thompson was too intoxicated to
have been responsible for the act.
Judge Gray said the Staying was
neither manslaughter nor an act of
self-defense. and that, although the
court recognized the drinking factor
there must have been some bitter
ness between you and Robertson"
He said the court was reluctant
to decree hanging because of
Thompsons mental state at the time
of the crime.
