Jim Sutton Called Outlaw.
When the deceased was called an
outlaw, Attorney Reeves interposed
an objection but was overruled and
Thomas took advantage of this fact
to emphasize the young man by the
/ instructions of the court as being on
Mrs. Beebes land in violation of the
law. AS put by Judge Grimshaw he
was unlaWfully engaged in injuring
her property. Mrs. Beebe had the
right to use any means to expel him
short of taking his life.
/ Nettie Sutton also must have been
an outlaw because she was support
ing her brother in performing an I'M
lawful act. Why did they become
/ lawbreakers? She says because there
was not other way to reach the gar
den, and then much ridicule was
hurled at the testimony of the SUIT
ton family regarding this garden. He
claimed that the real purpose of the
+ trip down the canyon that day was
/ to destroy the fence. Coming to the
garden was mere pretense. The
father had fully advised his son re-
garding the two women sitting by
the fence. Jim Sutton was enraged.
He went down there looking for trou-
BILE, else why did he come so quickly
after his father returned. Don't you
think he was mad? tn ejury was
asked.
Nettie said he acted quickly. He
had no good purpose. He got just
what he was looking for, only a lit
tie more. He knew these women
were there when he started, camp
ing on the ground. He was SO an
gered by Mrs. Beebe hacking at his
hands with the AK while he was cut
ting the wire, still more angered
when Mrs. Totten and Nettie were
exchanging angry words, and he said
over his shoulder, Net, don't talk to
that thing" I don't believe he went
down there with the intention to do
violence to either of these women,
but when you once enter upon a ca
reer of vice it is easy to glide from
doing one wrong thing to another
still worse. | don't want to take any
chances with vigorous young man
weighing lao pounds throwing this
hammer tthe tool was picked up)
when he is mad. If / was so threat
ened / should take his life if l held
a gun, to prevent injury to myself,
If | was about to throw this hammer
at any Of you, would you hesitate to
stop me by shooting if you happened
to have g gun in your hands?
Attorneys Quarrel.
At this point Thomas turned quick
ly about and said to Frank Reeves,
IF you don't take your foot away !
will step on it, ''All right" coolly
replied Reeves and left his foot where
it was.
Women are not so fortunate in
their physical construction as are
men. They reach a period of life
when owing to physical changes they
naturally become more peevish and
impulsive. That age is at about 40
years, which is the exact age of Mrs.
Totten. That one thing alone, men,
should have some influence upon
this. Many men would have done as
she did under the circumstances
Could she have done less? View the
circumstances. She shot only as a
means of self defense" The attor-
ny then infinitely described the posi-
ton occupied by each of the actors
in the tragedy. By using photographs
he endeavored TO impress the jury
with the fact that it was unnecessary
for Jim Sutton to dodge.
Just as the shooting occurred, his
being behind the stump protected
him. His motion must have been
caused, as the two women testify, by
his attempt to throw the hammer at
Mrs. Sutton. 1Ie did not have time
to dodge. by the testimony of Nettie
He did not know the shot was COM
