I did not see Willie Bellinger ^ 2 ai 11 until the dnv h?fnr? tlm J agedy, when I found him setting line fence which separated my ^ ouse from Mr. Bellinger's. Mrs. r ellinger was also present. A ^ pgro painter named Walker was 1 i my yard painting a fence; 1 s died Walker quietly to my r ep and said to him: 4,I)o tho " ninting as you agreed to do or u it out of hero."

The next morning as I was ibout to go down town Mr.Brown Irove up to my gate and told me hat if I was going down town he vould take me. I went with lim ; transacted my business at he postoflice, and returned to ny home. During my trip to the lostoflice I was armed with a )istol, because I thought I was in langcr of being shot by Bellinjer. A phort time after my re I - c . - ? urn noroe irom tiie postottice, dr. Brown again drove up to my ;ate and 1 started out to meet lim. I then saw Mr. Willie Bel inger exiling across the campus, rhieh is located in front of my louse, and I picked up iWy shot :un to defend myself against anv >ossible danger.
