A representative  of  the  Enterprise  called
on  Mrs.  Johnson,  and  found  the  lady  in  great
mental  distress.  She  believes  that  her  husband
is  not  guilty  of  murder,  and  will  sell  what  prop-
erty they  have  in  Lordsburg  and  use  the  money
in  his  defense.  She  states  that  previous  diffi-
culty existing  between  the  two  men  had  no
connection  with  the  tragedy.  Her  husband  was
in  the  habit  of  going  armed,  and  did  not  have
the  gun  on  because  he  was  anticipating  trouble.
He  was  unlocking  the  door  of  his  house  at  time
when  (as  he  claims)  Buck  assaulted  him  with
the  scantling,  striking  him  on  the  shoulder.  He
threw  his  left  arm  up  over  his  eyes  and  face
as  a shield,  and  with  his  right  drew  his  gun  and
fired  at  random,  not  knowing  or  caring  where.
