"I don't know whether the gun was snapped or not," ssys Askew, "but 1 know he intcudod to kill me, and J made at biin in tbo dark.

"Twelve or fifteen ?" "No, it wasn't as many as fifteen. It mout have been ten or twelve. While I was chop- pin' the door was opened and I saw Lofton run out. When I found out that I hid killed tho boy, I run too." "What did you run for?" "'G'auao I was sfeerd Lofton would cotno back and kill mo. I knew if we mot again one of us would die. Now, I want to toil you,?? boss, that I didn???t moan to kill no body. I had tbo nx in the houso, but I didn't bring it in intending to tiro it for anything liko that. J didn't mean to kill tho boy, and I didn't mean to do nothing to Lofton when l called to hirn. I just meant to talk to him; that was all. But when a man cock* a gun a you, what aro you going to do?
