Ho immediately eprang up. On entering the room he found Slay- back stretched on the floor and Cockiill bending over him, appar- ently wiping the blocd fromeghis fica.

McGuflia and Vietor T.| Cole, at a late hour to-night, made statements as to what occurred in the room where the shooting took place. They say in substuuce that Slayback, on entering the room, threw his coat back and drew a revolver, and advanc- ing, said, “Well, I am here, sir.” Then, observing a weapon on Cock- rill's desk, he asked, ‘‘Is that for me "’ to which Cockrell replied, ‘‘No, it is for use only to defend myseif,” Slayback then said, **You are propared to draw, then draw,” and Cockrill answered, I don't nuve to draw; [ don’t wunt to draw.
