"We have come to the conclusion," said Faulconer an hour after the trial was scheduled to be resumed, "that although the curbstone opinion is that we can proceed, we have no legal authority to back up that opinion at this time. Adjourned until Thursday "Due to the nature of the charge in this case and the fact that we have already spent four weeks trying it, the court and the prosecution and defense agree that it would be unwise to proceed."

Henry said the road would serve airport patrons from the eastern part of the state when the Natchez Airline highway is completed. He pointed out that at present, the only road into Esler Field is via Camp Beauregard. The construction firm of L. H. Bossier is standing by to begin renovation work under a contract.

This contract was awarded last month. The jury will add $223,800 from local bond issue funds to the federal grant to pay for the first phase work. the air base without having to drive to MacArthur drive. The jury also ordered Secretary Marion Fogleman to write here today. Consulting Engineer Tom C.

David said the money along with parish funds will be sufficient to take care of the first phase of Esler Field renovation. This includes: 1. Reconstruction of the northwest-southeast runway, 4,100 feet by 130 feet and extension of this runway 400 by 150 feet. 2. Performing approach clearing of the same runway and marking it.

3. Installation of medium Intensity lighting on the northwest-southeast runway and installation of an airport beacon. L. B. Henry, chairman of the Jury's airport committee, said the jury was originally scheduled to get only $185,000 in matching funds on the first phase work.

Suicide Noto Rtad The brunette defendant was sobbing and shaking Tuesday at the sight of the gun and she wept for a full three minutes while her last letter to Teel a suicide note was read to the jury by defense attorney Charles Symmes. Prosecutor Francis Thomason was set to blast her anticipated story that the stiff-triggered French revojver went off four times in a struggle, with three bullets entering Teel's body.

Thomason also was sure to question the "suicide note" to Teel. It was dated 28 days before the shooting and never mailed but found in her apartment along with Teel's robe and slippers with a note to deliver them to him. The long letter, reproaching Teel for his "selfish love" and protesting that she still loved him, was typed with few mistakes and bore the stilted language of a careful composition. Mrs. Nicholas swallowed pineapple juice and sleeping pills after Teel's death when she drove away in her car from the apartment of his new mistress, Laura Mowrer, 30.

Nye, of Chicago and Coral Gables, when he goes on trial here Saturday. Arturo Duque Estrada, chief investigator in the Nye case, said a "combination of charges" is pending against Nye, who flew for the U.S. Navy in Korea, but he would give no details. The trial will take place in the Cabana-Fortress prison officers' club.

They said they have a tape-recorded confession of Nye's misdeeds. -i-fOo R0A0E1ES Oakdale 154 ALEXANDRIA HI 3-7311 Call DeRidder 7787 Glenmora 8-5475 Adams Marksville 7335 mm BJK ja fc, I jtV fSfTw i til jll Plucky V'' ml Bourlen )l I lit 'a 1. i -Vr $wR I ttmt Hnillll HHvUI 4 'vff'Vl fL It rt The Bel Air 2-Door Sedan unmistakably '59 in every modern lint.
