To Complete Testimony Today The defense counsel, Vickers Campbell law firm, expects to complete its testimony early today, after introduction of "one more witness, and possibly one or two more character witnesses." State's witnesses established the fact first shots were fired before those witnesses became directly attracted to the scene of the homicide. Several of them said they, after the challenge of firing, looked around and saw Pescel staggering northwest from near the Avenue and Fourth street intersection, with Pierce following.

Thereafter, after a slight pause, they explained other shots were heard after Fescel had fallen beside the' road. Other Wltnenex Heard State witnesses were C. W. Reynolds, laundryman; Amos Trigg, 16; Mrs. Emma Moore, a sister of Fes- eel's stepmother: Mrs.

Fannie Miller, sister of.Mrs. Moore; Gordon Sanders, Lubbock mortician who was not at the scene of the homicide but who prepared Fescel's body for burial and could qualify for explaining location of wounds in the body, and Roy Thomas Neely of Alba, an eye witness to the shooting.

Pierce said in the sprint: of 1936 he first noticed Fa-eel. He said Fes- cel waved at Anna Lee and she "waved back." The defendant objected and started into the street where Fescel was. Fescel. said the witness, drew a knife and said.

"I'll cut hell out of you if you come out here." The elder Pierce said he told his son to go back in the house, since Bill Pierce had not recovered from injuries caused by a truck. A few days later, the witness continued, he saw Fescel and Mrs. Bill Pierce on a bed. Subsequently, he said he saw Fescel passing by sev- ral times waving a knife and waving at Mrs. Bill Pierce.

He said he saw Mrs. Pierce and Fescel in bed in the latter part of August, when iiis son was at Lamesn working. Said "I Go Prepared" "Next morning." he said. "I saw David. I told him to keep away from my son's wife.

He tolci me. don't need any of your damned advice. I don't give a damn what trouble I po prepared." The witness said he told his son. upon Bill Pierce's return, about the conversation and about seeing Fescel with Mrs. Bill Pierce.

"I told him all about and sniri ne i is liable to kill you; I'd get a gun." Wears Father's Gun He said the son took his advice and wore a gun belonging to the vitncss. On the day of the homicide, said he elder Pierce. "Bil! crimp to me at noon and said David had threal- to kill him and had his wit? ind baby and wouldn't let. him have hem.

He said the defendant and the blnnde woman had been living to- Jfither up to the time of the shooing, but had not. since.
