NJ. Reuter- of Tulsa, convicted in the
district court at Bartlesville last
week of having taken a part in the
plot 70 murder her husband, a Tulsa
attorney, was today granted a new
trial by Judge Henry Hudson, be-
fore whom the case was tried, on
the ground that the states evidence
did not sufficiently corroborate the
testimony of "Bud" Ballew, confessed
participant in the conspiracy.
In his opinion Judge Hudson de-
clarcd that the Jurors would never
have arrived at a verdict Of guilty
had it not been for the closing argu-
ment of States Attorney Pat NAL
10y, which, he said was the most
convincing argument Of the kind he
ever heard a crowded court room
was present when the motion was
granted and loud cheers and ap-
plause greeted the decision OF the
judge.

COMMENCED TODAY
EACH SIDE ALLOWED FIVE HOURS
FOR ARGUMENT, ADJOURNMENT
TO TUESDAY EXPECTED.

Albany. n. Y, oct 9.-The argyll
ments began today in the William Sui
ger impeachment trial. Louis Marshal
opened for the defense. Each side is
allowed five hours and it is probable
that an adjournment will be taken Fri
day night until Tuesday, before voting
on the impeachment.
Marshall declared that this trial
would set a precedent for impeach-
ment cases. He took up the various
charges, analyZed them and declared
that there was not one of them sup
ported by fact Sulzer had not taken
one dollar unlawfully from the people
of New York, Marshall declared.
Marshall bitterly attacked the testi-
IHony of Duncan W. Peck, state SUI
perintendent of public works, who.
Marshall said, testified, that Sulzer
asked him to deny under cath, a five
hundred dollar contribution because
his department was soon to be under
investigation, started by Sulzer and
he wanted to ruin him. He called the
borad of impeachment managers un-
fair in their treatment Of SulZer.
