I went to his house to talk wit h him In referer.ee to tbe subject. I carried my gun along with roe, the same as usual Whenever I went from , the house. During ouricouversation in regard to Sarah 1 and the reports, Duffle got mad, but invited me into his house. I went with him to-the door.: ;? He: went into the bouse, and, with his wife, went to the rear of their room and I saw him take up a piece of an iron rod sad put something into' his ; pocket He came back to the door - while Li : wass talking, and the first ' thing I knew, he BtrUck me over the bead with the iron bolt, knocking me down, and - 'the gun fell ;irom my hand I bad1 made no threats whatsoever toward him . McDuffle jumped from.' his. house as soon as I was down. -and threw- himself- on me,' struck me several times, and did bis best to bite me. My brother separated us. As we got up McDuffle pulled out his razor and made for me My brother in tbe meantime had taken - the gun - and set it up against the uwuw.vtian ana mcuumce ran after me. As I . came tothe gun I grasped it; and turned oo:bim and ordered him to stop or I would shoot him. He would not heed lay warniaeMmt cameat me at f nil tilt.' j I could not get away, and it was only a queB ition whether I should allow him to kill me with his razor or for me to cripple bim. I 'did not intend to kill him, aad had : he stopped when I told him to do so be would - oe airve to-day; and I should nor be where 1 am :today. r. We - were not over six feet apart! when I, fired my gun! This is al there ia ia connection with the case.
