Description
The record reflects that on February 13, 1967, the appellant went to the deceaseds (his estranged wifes) apartment in the City of Houston to seek a reconciliation. There he found his wife about to depart in a taxicab. He asked to talk to her for a few minutes and told the taxi driver to leave. Soon thereafter an argument ensued, a "scuffle" occurred, and the appellant took from the deceased a pistol which she had pulled from her purse. The deceased then stated she had to go to the bathroom and started to the nearby apartment building but left the first bathroom because of the presence of repairmen. At this point the appellant grabbed her arm and forced her outside. The deceased in turn grabbed an iron post and refused to let go although the appellant slapped or hit her in the face twice. After this "scramble" the deceased went into the apartment, and the appellant was heard to say, "Wait til I come back" and he left the apartment complex but returned in about five minutes.
