ond degree murder, will be presented

mission at the trial, by the court.
Allegedly written by Mrs. Banks to
Banks, before the murder. It was I
found in the pocket of one of Banks'
coats, hanging in a closet In tbo
Banks home. The state attempted to
Introduoe the note to show premedi
tation snd planning.

authorities say, "If you must fight,
fight In the home," and "When the
gunmen come, we will go south." The
full text was never made public. It
was signed "Mother." The defense

skirt of his wife," were grounds upon
which to base a new trial. The bill of
