"I was in the kitchen when she came to the door and told me she was cut. I laid her on the floor and yajed for help,” Williams (old the court. Williams denied having dictat 'd a letter in which he threaten ed to kill her just as soon as he R°t off the roads. Tie also denied having heard his wife cry, "Don't ru1 me " William's attorney was stymied (or even a thread to suport a mercy plea. ‘‘You can’t make nnv thing good out of a murder, and the defendant's record will not help here,” Attorney K rv Peel said, pointing out that Williams asked that medical aid be sum moned for the victim, and that 1he attacker did not run away.
