TEWKESBURY CASE.
The Defense Put on It's
Witnesses.
An Alabi for Rhodes-Lawver Cam
bell Tries to Rattle a Witness
What They Said.

The prosecution in the Tewkesbury
matter have rested their case.
The showing made has been a strong
one. They have witnesses that
the deceased said that "Tewkes-
bury and Rhodes did it" The
man riding from the scene of the shoot
ing, with weapons, tailed according to
other witnesses, and was recognized as
Tewkesbury.
The defense had on several witnesses
this morning. Sam Finley was sharply
questioned as to whether he were not
more interested in the matter than in
the mere duties of deputy sheriff. The
witness claimed not.
Finley also testified to being night
clerk in the hotel at Tempe at the time
of the tragedy, and that Rhodes had
stald overnight there.
Another clerk saw Rhodes there st
breakfast, and saw him leave with the
landlord, Bowen, the two horseback at
an early hour. Bowen was an important
witness. He has just arrived from San
Diego
He testified t. riding out that morn
ing with Rhodes, to examine some
cattle, and that together they rode or
a road at right angl les 10 the scene of
the murder, going beyond the intersec-
ton.
According to other witnesses the MUIR
der occurred soon after 6 o'clock. Bowen
this afternoon testified to being with
Rhodes to twenty minutes to s o'clock
What the defense will probably try
to show by this is that Rhodes was MOI
at the scene of the murder at all. This
would impe8ch the statement Of the
dying man that Tewkasbury and Rhodes
did it,
Rohdes was cleared on a preliminary
examination and left the country. He
has since been indicted.
The prosecution went after Bowen
sharply this afternoon to prove that he
testified at the preliminary examination
that he had not seen Rhodes TIL an hour
after getting up. This he said this
afternoon be had testified to but meant
ne talked with Rhodes. He had a glimpse
of Rhodes five minutes after he got up,
