Paris then drew a largexsized bowie knife

and reaching over Baquie plunged the six-inch blade into Weeks right shoulder,

inflicting a ghastly wound about four inches |

in length. All efforts on Baquie’s part to sepirate them proved of no avail, and not relishing the idea of holding a man to be stabbed to death, he released Weeks, who notwithstanding his wounds, jumped at Paris. As he closed with Paris, almost simuitaneonsly a blow with the pistol and stabs from the ‘nife were exchanged ; the blow taking eflecton Paris head and the stabs on the upper part of Weeks’ back on the right side. After a struggle, in which

i Weeks received two cuts in the arm sever~

ing the muscles, and one in the back, he fell to the floor. Collecting all his remain. ing strength he arose, only to again meet the descending knife, on the lower part of the back, it making a wound five inches long. Again he struggled to his feet and again the pitiless hand drove the steel into his breast cutting through two of his ribs, Then was the insane passion of the man appeased, and the victim, without a word, dragged himself a few steps, staggered to his feet and walked to the pavement along: side of the gate,andexpired.
