His testimony varied as to the time Armstrong visited his home on Sunday morning and how long they remained in conversation. He said, however, that he was insisting that the stuff be moved, if there was dan © of Greeks trying to steal it, and he urged that it be moved that night to which Armstrong object i, saying that he wished to take the stuff to Edgemont, S.

On the re-direct examination he de clared that the first two shots he heard were pistol shots. Hallowell Awakened from Sleep by Shots.
