LAW IS
 GORDY'S DEFENSE
Monroe Gordy Kills J. P. Hudson-Gordy's Story
 of the Shooting

Defending himself with the unwritten law" Monroe Gordy, white man S5 years of age, is in the city jail charged with the murder of J. P. Hudson, also white man, aged about 30 years.
 About o'clock last night officers were called to the corner of First avenue and wenty-fourth street to arrest Gordy for shooting. Hudson, who was taken to St. yincents hospital and he died about Il o'clock.
 Hudson, according to Gordy, had prac- tically no occupation. but recently was n the employ of the Alabama Great Southern as a car repairer. Gordy is an engineer for the Cudahy Packing com pany.
 In speaking of the death of the man te shot. Gordy said:
 q am sorry the man is dead. l wish to God he could have lived and faced what he had done.
 Tonight about o'clock I was walk irg up Twenty fourth street and passed q window, which was open and the room lighted. What l saw there caused the shooting l did not have gun with me, but ran down an alley ana lnto Horns barbecue stand 1 did rot ask him to loan me his gun, but I was so excited that 1 just grabbed it and ran back.
 "I went upstairs and to the room Throwing the door open, ] saw Hudson and without warning l shot twice and he fell to the floor. The other people in the house did not come in as I thought they would, but when I opened the door saw 8 man with his head just out side the door of his room. I called him and asked him to call the officers.
 If I had the same thing to do over again I would shoot him, but only to iniure him slightly. l did not mean to kill him and am sorry he died.'
 Frequently while he was talking GordX would have to stop to allow his emotions to have sway, and seemed greatly af- fectcd over what he states he has been through.
 Gordy stated last night that he went to Sheriff MeAdory yesterday afternoon and told him of what was going on, but promised the sheriff that he would not be precipitate in his actions toward Hud son. q lost my temper, though, and did it anyhow" said Gordy.
 The arrest of Gordy last night was made by Officers Bagley, Clements, Moore and Cole. He will be turned over to the county authorities this morning.

what position he saw Mrs. Mckee, arm on Garlands shoulder. He said he saw this about four or five months ago, and had seen them pass his house since that tune. Mrs. Mckee smiled.
 Have you ever heard Mrs. MeRee's s reputation questioned?'' asked Attorney Sandoz for the defense.
 "No, sir
 Now" continued Sandoz in an im- rressive tone. what do you think your self of the character of Mrs. McRee-"
 Well" said witness, and he lapsed into his pidgeon English, "when l saw her arm around his shoulder, I not tinll it so very good. When 1 see arm upon Meesteh Garland's should I think it not so good"
 The quaint accent caused an outburst of laughter in the courtroom, the first sign of levity since the trial began Mon day last.
 The night session was held under irving conditions because of the failure of the electric lights. The few hiclIering acety- lene lights installed quickly caused the shape of the attorneys and others to cast figures on the walls of the court room, adding a realistic tinge of the calendar night.
 Mrs Mckee was again called to the stand in sur-rebuttal. denying the tes- tmony given tonight by H. B. Andrews, cousin of Allan Garland, that he had seen the two in a corn field and that both were under one umbrella. He said ne watched them until he saw the umbrella disappear.
 When asked by MT. Lewis concerning the testimony of Mouret that she held hands with Garland in a field while hunt ing she said ''No, sir: I never walked in the lot holding his hands and no other mans hands,"
 The infection indicated she was exas- perated. She said she and witness had q dispute over hogs feeding in her garden. When asked about the testimony given by Anderson Mrs Mckee said:
 why mo- sir; I never walked in the field with any one under an umbrella not my husband; my children never did, even; they say l am so large how could I get under an umbrella wr;n Garland? Nj umbrella is woman's para sol; that's all sir''
 eve submit our case, announced MT. Lewis.
 Judge Peavy then stated that argument would be made tomorrow. This was taken to mean that the case would be in the jury's hands by Wednesday, if not sooner.
 Demonstrations with the revolver to show the distance at which powder stains might occur will be part of the argument Court adjourned until. tomorrow morn ing.

 we are, for Underwood because we have always found him fair and square in our transactions with him and look upon him as one of the most wonderful men of the country, inasmuch as he has maintained a steady, clearly balanced stand throughout his career.
 we cannot speak for the Alabama miners as a whole as there are many political beliefs among them and in the conventions, the next one of which is to be held next June, the question of political utilization is not allowed to be discussed. "

 and little girl while this statement was being made by the lawyer to the court. She listened attentively with tightly drawn lips, showing no emotion. Other members of the family were in court op- poste of the room. The Garlands were also present and gave close attention to the proceedings.
 Mrs Garland, the aged grandmother of Allan Garland, was the first witness for the prosecution in rebuttal.
 In answer to questions she said she tel ephoned to Mrs. Mckee the day before the killing and asked if Allan was there, but that Mrs Mckee replied mo- She added that Allan came to dinner late, eating very little when he came
 The attorneys argued for two hours as to the admissibility of certain testimony which tended to show the degree of friendship existing between Garland ana Mrs Mckee. The court finally took 6 recess, ruling that it would pass upon the questions as they were put to the wit nesses. bsIg
 The first witness in the afternoon ses- sion was Edmond Sylvester, a Frenchman. whose English was limited Judge Peavy translated his testimony. Sylvester saio he knew Mrs. Mckee and Garland, and had seen them together often alone, as he lived near the McRee home.
 "I saw. them alopesvery often in buggy and little one horse wagon.' he said
 When asked what they were doing, de- fense objected, and the jury retired while the attorneys argued. Court ruled that if would allow the state to show in re- buttal any improper conduct of the de- fendant with the deceased, which opens the way for attack upon the reputation of the accused
 Defense Excepts
 To this ruling the defense filed an ex- ception
 'I would see them driving by my house, and I thought once that l saw Mrs Mc- Ree's arm or elbow on Allan's shoulder. It was @ public road. The shortest road Is to pass the sawmil Sometimes they passed in front of my house. No one lives on the road back of my house."
 Witness made the foregoing statement.
 "Wi,at is the nature of that road back of your house. with reference to trees and undergrowth?"
 q have plenty of blackberry bushes on both sides" replied Sylvester,
 "In what direction were they going?"
 Sometimes they were going to Mrs. McRee'S farm and at other times they were returning; l have seen them very often during the last two years; some- times the children were with them, but more often just the two.'
 On cross-examination witness admitted that the wagon was an open vehicle, the iane was public and any one might pass over it."
 Are you able to swear positively that you saw Mrs. McRee's arm on Garland 5 sboulder?' asked the lawyer for the de- fense.
 "Oh, yes, sir" witness said, q can swear it; I was in my yard at the time.''
 Witness said this confidently.

SPEED D|S SHOWNIN
 M'NAMARA CASE
But Three More Talesmen Needed for Preliminary
 Proceedings

Los Angeles, October S1.-Three more talesmen were needed tonight to fill the jury box in the James B. McNamara murder trial before opposing counsel be- gin exercising their peremptory chal- lenges. Five of the nine accepted so Tar as challenge for cause is concerned, have been chosen in a day and a half. The burst of speed encouraged court and counsel.
 With 20 peremptory challenges at the disposal of the defense and 10 in the hands of the state it is considered un- likely that more than three of the nine will be on the final jury.
 If all the 30 peremptory challenges al- lowed by law are used, which seems probable, they will empty a full jury box with IS left over and after these are exhausted final P men will have to be selected irnpervious to challenge for cause.
 The completion of a jury Is there- fore considered matter of weeks. only a half session of court was held be- cause of a Los Angeles primary cleo ton.
 Talesmen Brakes and Johnson were ac- cepted as to cause. Johnson was taken over challenge by the defense which was disallowed by the court.
 A challenge against Talesman Charles F. Preston presented by the defense after Preston had said that from a personal experience he had formed opinions which would prevent giving fair trial, was under consideration when court ad-. journed.
 Judge Bordwel announced that he would take up before court tomorrow morning the preliminary examination or the new venre of 40 drawn yesterday to see if any have excuses other than belief which would prevent their srv- ing.
 This plan may expedite the examina- tons.
