Sleeper, of Fowler, said he thought Poole was of sound mind. He had known Poolafor thirty years and found him close and haggling iff his transactions.

“Did you see Pooler’ asked Mr. Hill. ’*T«, I saw him,” replied Parker, “Going through the bedroom window.” Parker said that he never got Poole but another man did and took him to the hospital.
