The Vidal murder case was resumed In
the Thirty seventh District court this
morning. Every available place in the
court room was occupied by spectators.
The large audience was strictly cosmopo-
| Titan and rather well behaved.
Only two witnesses were examined this
morning. They were City Detective George
Shoaf and H. s. Churchill, stenographer
in the Austin Brown trial. The latter
| read statement of Al lois Vidal, which he
| made on the stand during the trial Of
Austin Brown.
At the conclusion of the read
ing of Alois Vidal's statement, Dis
trict Attorney Camp announced that the
state will rest. Attorney Ed. Dwyer, for
the defendant, made a likewise announce
ment and the case was ready for argu-
ment.
The argument was opened shortly be-
fore noon by Assistant District Attorney
J. w. McDugald. He consumed about
thirty minutes and was followed by At
torney Bates for the defendant. The
next 10 speak is Attorney Dryer, and the
closing speech will be made by District
Attorney Camp, and it promises TO be an
interesting one, as he and Mr.. Bates have
been mixing 1t up rather lively since the
trial was begun.
The general opinion, it seems, is that
Vidal will be acquitted, as it is claimed
that there is not sufficient evidence
against him.
