Probably the most noted crim- inal trial ever held in Polk coun. ty was closed today when the case of the state vs. Tom and Ike Pipkin, charged with the murder of Joseph G. Hudgins last March, was given to the jury.
 The Defense.
 When court resumed yesterday afternoon the taking of evidence for the defense began.
 Mrs. Nancy Pipkin, the aged mother of the defendants, took the stand and stated that Mir. Hudgins came to her house either Thursday, Friday or Saturday before the killing, while Ike was away down at Granniss, and called her abusive names; that on Saturday evening when Ike came home she told him of this and he left the house at once (this was just few minutes before the killing) and she dld not see him after that. Tom came home about midnight ana went to bed. She heard the neig ghbors riding by talking about the killing of MT. Hudgins, but did not ask Tom if he knew any thing about it and did not ask about Ike.
 On cross examina ton an effort was made to have Mrs. Pipkin fix the time of MT. Hudgins' visit to her home but the old lady would not give the exact day, and twice told the states attor- ney, II think you are quizzing me little too close"
 F. l.. Smith was next on the stand and stated that Mir. Hud- gins had told him that the Pip kins had burned his barns and fences and that Mrs. Smith told Mrs. Pipkin about it.
 Berry Randolph, Misses Anna and Myrtle Hudgins were put on the stand in rebutal and stated that Mir. Smith told them he had never heard Mir. Hudgins say any thing about the Pipkins and that none of his family had ever told the Pipkins anything.
 Tom Pipkin on the Stand. At 5 o'clock Tom Pipkin went on the stand in his own be- half and in answer to questions by the attorneys gave in sub- stance the following statement: Gave his age as twenty-eight years. Came to Mena Saturday morning the day of the killing. Went home with several parties in a hack about dark. Had been drinking some. II met Ike be- tween the school house and our home. He was carrying a gun. I asked him where he was going. He said, Joe Hudgins has been abusing mother and l am gong down to make him apologize. l said 1 will go along. Ike was walk ing fast and crying. We did not talk or lay any plans. When we got to the gate called hello Y Here Inc defendants statements were little different from the statements of the state witnesses except that he said Mr. Hudgins called them name when he said he would go back into the house If they came there for row.
 Tom said that he was standing inside the gate and Ike on the outside; that he never thought Ike was going to shoot and after the shot he jumped outside and caught hold of the gun. They then left and came to Mena. "l| never thought of such thing as Ike killing MT. Hudgins. I did not stay at W. NJ. Pipkin's long

Tom answered, II did take the gun home with me. | MT. Lake: "You stated just now that you left Ike and the gun here in town, that is not true. " l A. No. You probably had me rattled. I carried the gun home with me-" This is the first time 1t has been made public what became of the gun used in the killing.

 o. "You did not care ?" A. "No."
 Q. "You just wanted to kil him."

Franco-German Dispute Over Morocco
Practically Settled.

Algeciras, Spain, March 20. - The
opinion has gained ground that a set
tlement OF the Franco-German contro'
yersy before the conference on No
roccan reforms Is merely a matter OF
hours. It was currently reported that
the terms of a compromise had been
practically arranged and that an
nouncement of an actual settlement
probably would be made at the next
plenary sitting Of the conference, the
date of which has not yet been dell
nftely fixed. Details Of the compromise
are not obtainable, but It is stated that
the concessions relate to both the po-
lice and the bank questions, the out
standing points Of which are subject
to mutual recession from the appar-
emily rigid standpoints which France
and Germany hitherto have maintain
ed. II is understood that the forward
move is the result of pressure from
the representatives Of the neutral
powers. who have displayed consider
able impauence over the delay and
urged that increased efforts me made
by the French and German delegates
towards a practical solution OF the
difficulties.
