The sufficiency of the evidence is not challenged, therefore a brief statement of the facts will suffice. Ted Spurgeon, Deputy Sheriff of Freestone County, testified that on September 27, 1974, the appellant walked into the sheriffs office with a bloody and broken .22 rifle in his hands and stated: "I need some help. I think I killed a man." Appellant then took Spurgeon and others to a dirt road where the body of Cicero Watts was found lying next to his pickup truck with his head "smashed in." The appellant testified that the deceased and appellants wife had been "messing around." Appellant testified that on three separate occasions over the years he had told the deceased to leave his wife alone. Appellant testified that on September 27, 1974, he had followed the tracks of his wifes car onto the secluded road where the killing occurred. Upon arrival, he found the deceased and his wife together in the deceaseds truck. Appellant took his rifle from the car and walked toward the truck and yelled: Hold it. Nobody run." Appellant then fired the rifle two or three times in the air. Mrs. McIlveen jumped from the truck and ran across a field. Appellant testified the deceased jumped from the truck and was reaching in for his shotgun. Appellant then opened fire, after which he "rushed in" and beat the deceased with the butt of his rifle.
