He sald his hand was very badly burt, and he remarked to me: 1 INTEND TO KILL PINKSTON it I live.”” Pinkston eame to me himeell and told me that his lifc was threatened by this man Brooks. After fighting, he asked my od- vice. Lremarked to him at the time: “Pink: ton, I heard Brooks say myself that he golng to kill you, and if' I had sufMclent evidence I would kil him before he killed me. I would not let a man kill me, knowing he wns thresteniug my Ufe. He should not kil mne.” Brooks lud a bad character. Ile was not thaught much of {n tho country. He was n bud, angry, quarrelsome man.
