at the bank corner, nearly opposite tho
postottlce; saw two men at the Bteps of
the postonico, Bceinlngly In excited argu?
ment; one man strike tho other In the
fnoe. The man struck fell, catching his
hand on the ?lub. near tho steps. Tho
other man (Skinner) backed oft a few
steps, then stnrted towards the man who
was struck as If to renew the attack.
Then I heard tho shot. Mr. Skinner
staggered back to the curb; then I heard
the second shot. When the first shot was
fired. Skinner had his hand In a peculiar
manner about his sido. I think ho was
trying to pull a rovolvor. After the sec?
ond shot Mr. Skinner was at the ourb;
then he circled and fell across the street
car track."
Rotiert N. Simula, a prominent attorney
of Raleigh, wns tho noxt witness. His
statement follows: "My attention was
drawn to two men, who seemed to be
struggling. The outer man (Skinner)
struck Haywood. He fell and caught on
hip hand. Skinner sprang back, faced
Haywood about the time the first etiot
was llred. Skinner hesitated ' a moment,
then went towards the car track. When
about ten feet this side of the cor track
the second shot was fired. He was going
faster than a walk. He crossed the
track and fell. I did not mako any pub?
lic statement until next morning. I road
tho pnpers and saw that the evidence
adduced at the coroner's lnqiiost was not
what I saw. I thon told my brother-ln
law and afterwards the defendant law?
yers."

examination. In which he held to his
stntement nnd explained his connection
with the cnse and why his firm refused
to be counsel on either sido. He said
