commissioners for granting license
for a saloon where no peace oficer is

OF the trade is with Indians. On ac-
count of the unsatisfactory conditions
a movement has been started to have
the license revoked. but decision has
not vet been reached as to whether the
case will be brought directly before tins
county commissioners or prosecu'
tion brought against the management
Of the saloon on charge OF keepint

A conviction on the latter cnars'
would be sufficient grounds to go be
fore the commissioners and ask ina
the license be revoked.

nection of Lawyer Abe Hummel with

no human imagination ever invented
such a story. You know no actor could
have stood as she did unf1inchingly BE-
fore all tests known to skilled lawyers
TO elicit the truth unless she was tell
Ding the truth
Delmas then depicted the effect OF
such a story on Harry Thaw, reading
from Evelyn's own testimony on the
witness stand and made a touching
picture of Evelyn's love for Harry.

defendants mother in which she told
of Harry's love for Evelyn.

is sacred. Delmas concluded his argu'
ment at 9:17. having spoken for nv
