After the two had been separated and
perhaps fifteen or twenty minuies later,
Singleton was seen advancing upon uau
easter with an axo. Lancaster hud his
back to Singleton. One of tho c ouvicis
said "look out Jim," but before Lancaster
had time to turn Singleton had buried
the blade of the axo in his skull. The
man fell to the floor and was never con
scious again, although he lived several
weeks after the blow was given.
Dr. Furgerson, the attending physician,
was an important witness. He stated
that he was called to see Lancaster alter
the blow had been given and that he at
tended him daily uutil his death, lie
said the wound inflicted by Singleton
eausod the death of Lancaster. W itness
exhibited a section of the skull allowing
the wound and also exhibited the brain
Dr. Furgerson said tho blade of the axe
peoctrated two and a half inches into
the skull and entered the brain. This
closed the evidence for the State, and So
licitor Daniel rested his case. Couusol
for defendant, after a brief c instillation,,
decided to put in no evidence, and made
the closing argument.
But for the light previous to the kill

guilty of murder in the first degree.
The verdict gave general satisfaction
