PASO Recites Story of Attempt to Senators Ignore Requests to Assult Her by Man Her i Extend Time for Hearings Husband Killed. I on Underwood Bill. HILES CASE TO JURY AT PECOS COTTON REDUCTION MAY AFFECT LABOR Tells Congress This Nation Must Not Deliver a State to Aliens.

May taking of evidence in the W. J. Jiiles murder trial was concluded Thursday afternoon about 4 oclock, district attorney Will P. Brady opening the argument for the state. For the defence there was little variance, throughout the trial, from the testimony given at the preliminary hearing by the defendant, his wife, and broth- erinlaw, M.

Sledge. The most notable feature of the prosecution's efforts was the attempt to prove that -fliles had been taking cotton from field, and that it was through guilty fear of the knowledge of the deceased that liiles planned his act. Another startling statement brought out by liarve Bankston, a state witness, was that when he arrived on the scene of the tragedy. hat was lying over the lower portion of his face, covering a portion of his breast and that when the witness raised xhe hat, a revolver w'as beneath, and that the revolver was not stuck in as was claimed by witnesses for the defence. Bankston claimed to be the owxier of the gun, but was at a loss to know how it had coine into the possession of Tucker.

Under cross fire he admitted having under the influence of liquor on the morning of the killing. The testimony of the defendant and of Mrs. Hiles was at times dram.atic. The latter made a strong witness for her husband, narrating the sequence of events which, she claimed, led up to her telling her husband of actions. She said Tucker seized her in his arms on IMonday evening.

when she w'as alone with her children on the farm, and that he returned that night and made an attempt to gain an entrance. She said she waited until things were quiet so that he could hear the snap of her shotgun as she loaded it, after which she promised to kill him if he attempted to force the door open. Through the cross questioning of the attorneys for the prosecution, she remained firm, and the chain of her testimony was unbroken when she left the stand. The same was true of the story of lliles. Mrs.

M. D. Sledge, sister of Hiles, took the stand Thursday morning. The state was able to break her story in several particulars, but the substantial portions of her testimony, coincided with the statements of the defence. Victor Moore, of El Paso, has taken a leading part in the prosecution, sharing time almost equally with district attorney Brady.

F. Ross handled the defendant in cross examination. Judge TV'. Parker and H. Clay Cooke represent the defendant.

When court adjourned Thursday evening, Mr. Brady had finished his address to the and Mr. Cooke had spoken for something more than an hour. The case will be giteh to jury today. The general opinion among who have heard the evidence is that the jury will fail to agree.
