There was angry talk between the 2 men about a letter which de ROSA had given to MARKS to deliver to a sheep man. MARKS claimed to have delivered the letter, while de ROSA claimed he did not. Finally de ROSA jumped from his cart and the men clinched and fell. During the fracas de ROSA was stabbed in the left side with a pocket knife in the hands of MARAKS.
