I had mistrusted Perrington was a lit tie too intimate with my' wifo for somo lime; had accused lu.r of it before Mr. and Mrs. L iflin, Mrs. Torrey, and Ag- o ’ .a Taft ono evening a few days before the shooting, in Perrington s presence. He laughed and said it was a d—lie, and went out of the room. Ho did not offer to touch me at that time. Whon 1 went away Satnr lay night I told my wifo that I woul l not come buck un til morning. I intended to camo back that night; expected Perrington would be there ; he was snro to bo there if I was rot. I bud been informed previous to that of Pcrrington's bragging nbmt his relations with icy wife ; my broth er told mo that night that he bud bei n b l isting th it ho could do anything lie i t, and that if I showed any jealousy lie would rnvis'i mo.
