Morning Session.

This morning court was promptly
convened at nine o'clock and Judge
Pope at onc proceeded to charge the
jury. The charge was a lengthy one
consuming a half hour in its delivery.
1t was clear and direct. and given in
the choicest English. The Judge gave
them four forms of verdict they might
return: Murder in the first, second
or third degree or acquittal. 1t was
just $3.50 o'clock when the case was
given to the jury and the Twelve men
retired to the jury room to consider
their verdict.
The case has been the most inter.
esting n that has ever been tried
in Chaves county. The case was be-
gun a week ago today and during the
entire week of day and night SEES
sicns the court room has been crowd
ed to its utmost capacity.

Second Degree

girl Nora May Cambria who saw the
defendant washing bloody garments
was too plainly true to be attacked
by any insinuations by the defense.
The attempt to establish an alibi had
fatty failed. The defendant might
have stopped at the boarding house
of Mrs. Davidson, at some time or
other, but there was no other evidence
but his own to show that he had stop
ped there on the night of October
25th. If Geaton really had topped
there the fatal night the defense
would have moved heaven and earth
to have had Mrs. Davidson remem-
Der it, to recall the night he had stay
there, but the defense never talked
TO Mrs. Davidson in regard to the
case until she was brought on the
stand. The alibi has failed.
Mr.. Hervey closed with no appeal
to the jury. In the TWO hours he
spoke. with no attempt at oratory he
simply linked together in a logical
manner fact after fact which went to
prove that Geaton was the perpetra-
tor of the horrible murder. At the
