He said he was in trouble about his wife, and that she was in town procuring a warrant for his arrest. He said he was in a great way about bis wife and a man named Bell. He asked him why he did not go away from the place altogether ? He said he would not for tho present, and would have his revenge. Tho witness cautioned him about such remarks, aud said Bell and her were not worth interfering with. He said ho did not care, and would blow their very brains out before Sunday.
