A.D. Hood being duly sworn says. Willie Dubose made a confession to me. He first made it to me private. Then I called J.B. Stevenson and John Nelson. I asked him to make the same statement to them that he had made to me. He said that his father had been fighting his mother and had tried to shoot her with a pistol said he had fired the pistol at her once had rapped it several times and that he was afraid that he would kill his mother, so he got the gun and shot him. I saw the lying on the floor. The gun was empty... I asked the boy who took the shell and he said that he did. I asked him to get the shell and he went and got it...
