I would be foolish to car ry a large sum like that without some means of protection. Denies Drawing Gun. "I did not draw the revolver on the man, and I did not threaten to shoot him. I do not remember that I cursed him, either. He probably saw the weapon lying in the automobile, anj got the impression that I had drawn it from my pocket during t.i quarrel. From where he was standing when the argument began he couli not see tne gun. but later he moved up closer to the automobile, ana then «he weap on was in plain view. "I had some words with the fellow, but he was never in any danger of be ing run down by my car. I was com ing up M-arietta street from the bank and was not running at a high rate of speed. This man got in front of tha machine, and I stopped to let him gel out of the way. He yelled something about looking where I was going, ar.d 1 probably said something along the same line to him.
