The News of Birmingham

Birmingham, Nov. 1s.-(special. )-The taking of testimony in the Wise murder case came to an abrupt ending today when the defense announced that it had closed, Capt. F. s. White one of the attor- neys for the defense, stated to the court that his side was willing to submit the case to the jury without argument, S. D. Weakley, one of the attorneys for the State made some remark in answer, and a personal difficulty was barely prevent ed.
 The jury was just filing out of the court room and Judge Green had announced the court adjourned, when the remark of MT. Weakley in reference to the offer to sub- init the case without argument was taken up by Captain White. The two men were separated in a few minutes. The argu- ments begin in the morning.
 William Wise is charged with the mur- der of Elias M. Lathem, a young trav- cling man, in the lobby of the Morris Hotel April IT, last, and he went on the stand in his own behalf today. The juror who took sick yesterday morning was able to resume today. MT. Wise made practically the same statement that he did on the preliminary trial. He said that he went to the hotel to see Lathem to get some letters which the deceased had and which were written by sister of his CWise's.) The deceased drew pistol, according to the statement of the de- fendant, when he was shot.
 Glen Havis, who was with Wise, fired the shot which caused the death of Lat hem. Havis was tried and convicted and sentenced to twelve and a half years in the penitentiary. An appsal is now pefd- ing.
