H. James, A. B. Warden and Dr Russell, and they returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. From the evidence it seems that Myers had been to help an uncle guard, some wheat and was oa his way home at ,9 o'clock when Nicholson jump ed from some weeds beside the road and struck Myers with a black-jack knocking him down and while still in a sitting pos ition Myers fired the contents of a shot gun into the thigh causingdeath from bleeding in a few minutes. Nicholson also fired six shots at Myers with a io shot, automatic Colts revol ver, but it was never clearly established who fired the first shot. It appears that Nichol son, ariiiedlviflr1I3^^teTA^4 patli, as he had secretly assau lted one Tom Smith on the same night he was killed. The widow of the dead man testifi ed that her husband was a lit tle strange at times and more so than usual on the evening of the tragedy. With the announcing of the verdict the court room was the scene of a dramatic ending. When the prisoner was disch arged he turned to his sister and begun to weep, when she threw her arms around him and give vent to her joy with tears and sobs. At this a gen eral cheer went up all over the court room. The defendant was represe nted by Atty. S. C. Williams while D. M, Reece and F. W. Hanes the State. FUNERAL OF N.
