"Until recently Mr. and Mrs. Felderson were very happy together. During the last three months their happiness has not been quite--so pronounced." "What was the cause of their disagreement?" I determined to begin my attack on Woods at once. "A man whom Mr. Felderson disliked and did not wish to come to the house." "Can you tell the jury that man's name?" "Frank Woods." The attorney glanced at his notes. "Did this man Woods make love to Mrs. Felderson?" "I couldn't say. He was very attentive to her." "Did Mrs. Felderson ask her husband to divorce her?" "Yes," I replied. "And Mr. Felderson refused?" "No. Mr. Felderson consented." "You are sure of that?" he demanded. "Yes. I was present when he said he would give her a divorce." "Was Woods there at the time?" "Yes." The foreman of the jury interrupted here. "Will you tell the jury just what took place at that meeting?" I told them briefly what happened, not forgetting to mention that Woods had threatened Jim's life in case he did not let Helen go. "Has that man been summoned?" asked the foreman. "Yes. He is waiting to appear now," a clerk responded. "Mr. Thompson, did you hear your sister threaten to kill her husband?" Kirkpatrick asked. "My sister was very excited at that time and said several things--" "Please answer my question!" fired the district attorney. "I can't remember," I replied. Kirkpatrick again consulted his papers. "A witness says that on the evening of the disagreement between Mr. and Mrs. Felderson, she used the words: 'I could kill him,' referring to her husband. Did you hear her use those words?" "I don't think she realized what she was saying." "I did not ask for your opinions. Did you hear her say she could kill him or that she would like to kill him?" "Yes." The attorney seemed satisfied and I noticed the foreman of the jury lean back in his chair. "Now, Mr. Thompson," Kirkpatrick began, "on the evening of the tragedy did you see Mrs. Felderson leave with Mr. Felderson?" "No," I replied. "Do you know if she was sitting in the back seat or the front seat of that automobile?" he asked. "I couldn't say." Kirkpatrick took Jim's revolver from the table. "Is this revolver familiar to you?" "I don't know." "Did Mr. Felderson have a revolver like this?" he demanded. "Yes." "Do you know whether he was carrying it at the time of the tragedy?" "I'm not sure," I stated. "Did Mr. Felderson usually carry a gun?" "No." "Did Mrs. Felderson have a revolver?" "No," I replied, "I don't think she even knows how to use one." "Please only answer my questions!" Kirkpatrick rebuked me sharply. "You have stated to the jury that Mr. Woods had threatened Mr. Felderson's life in case he did not give Mrs. Felderson a divorce. When did Mr. Felderson intend giving his wife the promised divorce?" "I don't think he really intended to give Mrs. Felderson a divorce." "But you stated that he consented to a divorce?"
