Lechnér testified that he shot his son-in-law becausé he was “afraid of him." He said he fired the shot when Hawkins walked toward him in the kitchen of his home on Aug. 25, 1945, after Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins had been qudrreling over financial matters. Judge Bain said he could not gmant leniency in this case. “There is no element of self-de-fense in this case,” Judge Bain said “This man is guilty, He lost his head, I suppose. He shot this man without provocation.”
