Early in the morning of May 28 HOCK entered through a window he had broken the previous night. He rushed upstairs and called to Mrs. HOCK: "I am mad and am going to do you in!" Mrs. HOCK made her way out of the house, and her husband ran after her and knocked her on the nose and head with a beer bottle. "He was going to hit me again," the woman said, "when my son came up and struck him down with an iron bolt." HOCK stated it was his desire to return to his wife. He threw a bottle at her.
