"If the senate wishes to say what

we must face tho unthinkable Itask
of making .'.laothcr and separate kind

Directly in opposition to the presi-

' Our plan has 'been rejected and
we -must face he situation as i!t is.
Wo must either -secure such cwropro-!
anise as may bo -possible or present

j f.-tory of the tronble lietweeu himsrlf
' and Graham the deceased. His tes-
j tlmony covered every phase of r.he
ease" touched upon by the prosecu-
tion but In many Instances It gave
; a different version to impoitant
points. ''
j 1 The story of the defendant touch-
ed upon incidents iu which he and
; Ur! 'ham had clashed ven'bally pre-
' vioiiM to ithe shootlg and ho id a con-
necting thread front- hen until the
' day. nearly. - a year ago iwheu t'.wy
j jpet on: a lonely road neiir the lIL

a result. . .
! Pilgrim iu rehiUng the. story of
the actual rlio'ing stated that he
was attempting on that day to lio-.-d-law
some of Gi. ham's cattle that
'i.nd been giving him trouble. He
stated that while he was doing this
: Graham rode up on a lmrse 1:00k ti e
I cattle awny from him a.ud drove
them off returning then to where
'ilgrim stood in the road.
"We'll Shoot It Out.
The defendant's testimony hi ef
fect was: that after riding up 1:0
where he stood Graham asked hlin
what he was doing with that gun to
which the- defendant replied "I'm
currying il. Can't you see what I'm
doing with it?" To which (litiham
replied "Well you s b we'll Just
shoe1! it out right here." '
Graham then drew oft his right
glove and reached under his coat for
his gun when Pilgrim raised his shot
gun and fired the charge ending
Graham's life before he cou'd draw
the defendant's testimony shield.
Pilgrim then stood in the road un-
til his wife came to the scene uhii
which he handed her the gun and
told her '-to watch tlie body while he
went for assistance. Pilgrim I lieu
went to the homo of Hugh Hale dnp-
uly sheriff and Hale returned Id the
scene with i'.lm. Pilgrim's etutemenl
showed. He then wmt to his homo
and waited for the officers to ci.nr"
for him after the budy of Gr h.i 11
had been removed
Evidence showed that when picked
up Gral.am had a gun on and tes-
timony of witnesses was to the ef-
fect Lli-t when picked up the i.osi-tkm-
of the dead man's right h iii
was near the vaistband of his 'rous-
ers which supported the pisto.
In giving tlie case to the jury
ludgi Will Linn issued fee usual in-
structions. He defined murder as
veil as manslaughter iu the first 'jjuI
f-et-ond degrees and instructed tho
jury that if they found the evidence
sufficiently strong they could return
i verdict under the head of murder.
01 manslaughter in the fiiwt and sec-
