In his opinion a man wounded in the manner described to him j would at once fall to the ground, and | couldn't do anything with any judgment , or will of his own. < DR. MANNING BRABHAM i testified tlmt he had been practicing med- 1 icine and surgery since and from the ; description of the wounds read to him 1 that the man shot would immediately fall ! to the ground; would live only a few 1 minutes; that he would not be i mined i- 1 ately deprived of all volition, not for the moment, that he could have shot a pistol, t i>k. j. n. sTErr testified that he practiced medicine, but ^ rave most ot his time to mercantile and ? farming interests; graduated in '8U; that , a man wounded as described to him , would fall immediately, wouldn't live , more than a few minutes and would not be capable of voluntary action; that he drew his conclusion from his knowledge of gunshot wounds, though he had no practical experience. c KF.V. W. E. JOIIXSOX, ?? the defendant testified that on the Satur- h day night, after the marriage of Joe j Brown to Bellinger's sister, he left Mrs. x Bellinger and his wife on the front piazza and went in the back part of house and 1 hearing a man's voice went out in front, c Willie Bellinger had got about the gate, \ffo lolnwon rciimrk to Mrs. Bellinger alniut being surprised at her l' conduct; Willie Bellinger told Mrs. John- o ?on to dry up, he had heard enough from <> lier. I do not know when he canu* in. Fhe next I saw of him was on the day >eforc the tragedy, sitting on the post v A'he re line fence intersects fence on side- p ivalk. He was there when I returned ;l From down the street where I had gone ^ ;o get somelHuly to help me get the negro >ut of my yard. I called the painter to c< he front steps and said: c< "I told you how to do that work,and if w fou don't do it as I told you, you must jet out, I have no objection if you do it iceorning to the understanding had w Then you came in the yard." 1 went lown the street and asked Clarence Moyc if he would come up to the house md help me get a negro out of mv yard ; ?c said he would come up, that \ could jo on. I went back and soon afterwards w ic came in my back gate; I asked him if t[ ic had a pistol, be said yes -r I asked him 'or it; didn't know what trouble I might c< lave to get darkey out; he gave it to ibe. [ went on front piazza, he followed. 1 ;aid: "Walker, you get out of my yard." ol Ele started to wheel and pass and Willie p( Bellinger told him to come back; he was "J 11 his shirtsleeves. I told the darkey 2 ai >r times to get out of the yard and he A vould start and Willie Bellinger would ei 'all him back; he said: "I told you to laint this fence;" finally I told him efn- N ihatically to get out of my yard, then he ai valked to about front gate; Bellinger ol iske<l him if he wasn't going to paint the ci enee. He said he was afraid. Bellinger si aid, "What are you afraid of, that God bm lnnnr IrxrwHl s;? of :l I)?." He USed d< ! or 3 expressions like dam rascal or N something like that; I told him he ai wouldn't- go in the road and tell nie that, a le got down as if to go. When I got >utside my front gate he was standing ta icarpostof Bellinger's front gate with sa >istol in his hand. When he went to gate U ic repeated about same language he had ised. I said, "you arc armed eh?" That to vas the tirst time I saw his pistol; I jo umed back in house. Soon after this m )ol. Counts came up and asked me what S( ill this meant; I told him what had hap- M tened; he said it was getting too bad, I vould have to do'something. He and Mr. launders brought me a gun loaded, us fcxt morning as I started for mail ,loe cc irown drove to my front gate, asked me ye o get in buggy, he would drive me there; h* was armed with pistol. Not long after tie got back I saw Brown drive up and 0i tarted out to him. I saw Bellinger com- jrj ng across school ground, and picked up sa ny gun and carried it to the buggy where ('( Jrown was. I didn't know but that I ea night need it to defend myself. When Cc ic came within 10 or 15 steps he began ar iring. I raised my gun as soon as I p, ould and shot; lie shot twice before I p hot; his third shot was very close to nine, as near as I could tell immediately .fter my shot. Then his pistol tired again ibout the-time he hit the ground; he fell mmediately. I shot only once; I was cc tanding by Brown's horse or front wheel. a? went back in the house after I sh'ot; I ni oaded the barrel that -had been shot, si; )idn't know but that I might have more th rouble; that a crowd might come and try o kill me. When I went out Browii se nade some remarks about the fence we di verc to build, how high it would be and tli iow close, and in that way we had moved bt ip the road some distance. He reined of he horse up, the horse backed, and that ca s what brought me in view of Mr. Bell- ui nger. About the time he fell I presented cc he gun and cocked it. but did not shoot, sc iVhen I shot I thought I was in danger >f loss of life. I didn't think there was w nuch chance forme. I didn't say to Mrs. ni Bellinger what Clarence Move said, but el lid say: kT have heard from you be- ci ore." Bellinger cursed me then, but had p] :urscd me before also. When I told fi; Bellinger he couldn't "go in the road and tr ell me that," I intended to whip him if I \\ ;ould with my fist; I weigh about 150 or si 00 pounds, about six feet tall; don't re enow how tall Bellinger was; that he wouldn't return his language, couldn't c it tlirtiKrlit tliorp wnillil lip ,,, nore honor and dignity in whipping jt lim; that ho went in because he didn't NV urant a shooting scrape; that they were n ihout 100 feet apart, each at their gates; a] hat when lie gave the pistol to Moye he ^ot it out of a bureau drawer, that Moye ? w as mistaken; that he regularly went in n rear of post office for his mail; did not >ee Bellinger in post office that morning; c; that if he hadn't seen Willie Bellinger coming across campus he would not have carried his gun when he went out, because he didn't expect anybody else to shoot him; that it was not for him to determine which one of the witnesses for the defense told the truth ; the jury had to de- a eide that; that when he shot he was down . in the road somewhere but couldn't locate 1 the spot. The witness added just as he a left the stand: "I want the privilege of J saying that I don't believe anybody re- * grets the death of Willie Bellinger more than I do, or the necessity of having had * to shoot him." HENTtY r.lTSCII testified that he was proprietor of Magnolia Inn at Aiken ; that Willie Bellin- c ger arrived at his hotel 011 the night train s of March 30th, and left 011 the 4th of April: that he came to his house again i 011 April-21st and left on the morning of the 23d. I TXO. K. KEI.I.IXGEK 1 testified that Willie Bellinger was not in . Bamberg during month of March ; that 1 lie came to his house the morning of 9th April and stayed until 21st, when he went * to Aiken and returned morning of the 23rd, remaining until he died. That the conversation with Mr. Johnson, to which ' Mr. Best alluded, occurred on the 2Sth. J and that he did not see Willie until April 9th, that some time after this date he ' told Willie of the difficulty. Found two t i xr.. o \v;ii;?\b ! DUCKSUUl UIIU M.\ .. ill ,1 11WV C pocket embedded in some letters which ; lie had in his pocket. On the 26th of 1 April thecase of Grieg A Jones was tried in this court house; that in consequence of something that was said Mr. Jones I rose hastily and came to where 1 was as ; if to strike me; Willie rose and went to ; Mr. Brooker and whispered to him and j then went out. I understood the situaj tion at once. Willie returned in a few j minutes. While lie was out Mr. Jones apologized for what he said, and I told Willie as soon as he returned and that ended the matter. While Mr. Best was in Bamberg, he and Willie were not intimate. II. c. foi.K testified that W. H. Bamberg said to him on day of killing or day after that he saw nothing and knew nothing about it; had \ frequently seen Mr. Brown's horse standing unliitched in the street. Brown did say to me in my store the morning that Willie was killed, that Willie ought to he killed and that Mr. Johnson ought to have killed him the day before, or words to that effect. I remonstrated with him I about his remark's. .1. S. KKOOKKlt testified that he was in court house the Jay John K. Bellinger had some words with Jones; Willie Bellinger asked me if 1 had a pistol, and 1 told him to go to the store and get it. I soon went towards ny store, met Willie just the other side >f the railroad track. I wasn't at the dore at all when he was there. When I net Willie he smiled, didn't seem mad at ill and did not say I'll shoot the ; lidn't say anything about it at all: had requentiv seen Brown's horse standing n the street unhitched for considerable ime.
