Miss Harper, another witness, told of

fled that McClallen had appealed to him
for protection from Mahan.
Two letters written by Mahan to Mlas

The state closed its case shortly aft
er noon yesterday, tin the afternoon
McClallen took the stand in his own
behalf and reolted the details of the
shooting of Mahan, The story contained
evidences of Mahan a mad infatuation
for Miss Lillian Spelcher, the -divorcee
who spurned Mahan's attentions for
MoClalleo'a -company, - and of Manan'
threats against McClailen's life. It also
told of Mahan's habit of dogging the
steps of his rival at every opportunity.
The court room was crowded to capa
city.
..McClallen gave his age aa IK years.
He said he knew Mahan only by sight.
After telling of his visit to the Pal
ace theatre with Miss Spelcher on the
night of the tragedy, McClallen took
up the story of the shooting, speaking,
in, substance, as follows: '
Mail an Warns a to stop.
Miss 8pelchr and I met Mahan in
front of the Commercial Abstract com
pany's offices as we were on our way
to the Hotel McClallen. As he came di
rectly toward us, moving in from the
curb to the center of the sidewalk to
do so, I pushed Miss Spelcher back
with my left hand and, raising my right
hand, I called out to Mahan: 'Stop,
don't come a step nearer.' Ha had his
right hand at the right hip pocket of
hla trousers. Disregarding my warn
ing, he kept coming toward me. Then

pocket and flred at bim aa rapidly as

Then you snot him down when tou

asked the dretrict attorney.
"Maybe I couldn't have shot first if
he had had that gun in his hand," said
McClallen.
McClallen told of four occasions
when he had been out in public with
Miss Spelcher. These four, he declared,-
were the only ones. He said he would
not have been in her company on the
night of the homicide had other, arrange'
ments for company not fallen through.
Alleged Threats by Mahan.
In relating incidents leading up to
the killing McClallen said: "I mos
