Mayfield, Sayre, Somerville, and de Graffenried, JJ.,
concur in the conclusion and the opinion, except as to charge 2. They think that this charge should have *35been given, as there was evidence from which the jury could infer that the defendant was in peril; and, if defendant’s version that the deceased was about to make a murderous attack upon him was true, he was under no duty to retreat. — Cook v. State, 5 Ala. App. 11, 59 South. 519; Storey v. State, 71 Ala. 337.
