Melvin Prince Trial is
Continued Until Monday;
Self Defense is Pleaded
VOLUME XIII

The trial of Melvin Prince before
Judge Cole in the superior court was
continued at noon today to Monday
morning.
Yesterday afternoon the prosecution
through District Attorney Swing had
presented its witnesses and this morn
ing two witnesses had been called to
the stand for the defense by Attor-
neys Seymour and Iasigi to substanti-
ate the clai moi self defense.
Although on trial on the charge Of
numbering the father of his sweet
heart, Clarissa Wood, it was she who
presented a consistent story of the
tragedy, also claiming that in the
final fatal alteration it was her
father who struck the first blow, on
which point her testimony differed
from that of her mother and sisters.
Claissa Wood and Malvin Prince
at the time of the tragedy were
youthful and mutually attracted to
each other and ever since the incar-
ceration of Prince they have main
tained corresondence
Clarissa Wood testified, substantial
ed in the main points by the testi-
mony of her mother and sister with
the exception of who struck the first
blow in the final alteration, that Mel
vim Prince worked for her brother
in-law, Jesse Fisher, and lived with
his employers family in tent house
about thirty feet from the house oc-
cupied by her father, her mothe",
herself and the other unmarried mem
bers of the Wood family; that the
two families had many things used in
common; that early in the afternoon
of the tragedy Melvin Prince borrow
ed a funnel at the Wood residence and
ten or fifteen minutes later returned
it.
When Prince returned the funnel
she and her sisters were at the door
and Prince, in conversation, stepped
into the house. which he left by an
other door.
There was an alteration in which
blows were struck on both sides, after
which Wood went to get a gun, but
was disarmed by his wife and son-in-
law.
Then Wood went out to an arbor a
few feet from the house where his
son-in-law and young Prince were

The conference held yesterday be-
tween the directors of the irrigation
district and the advisory board of the
district companies resulted in the
passing of resolution by the district
directors referring negotiations for
the resumption of work on the canal
below the line to the mutual compan-
les and pledging to them the support
of the district.
Another question that came before
the meeting was raised by the pre-
sentation of a petition, bearing about
600 names, asking the directors to
submit to a vote of the people the
question of the assessment of mills
on the dollar for the maintenance of
the district.
A very peculiar feature of the petit

ton was the appearance of more than
page of names, all of which were
written in the same hand writing,
while other names appeared to have
been written by the same person.
There was some talk of referring the
petition to the grand jury to ascer-
tain how it happened that so many
signatures We're in the same hand
writing, but no action was taken Is
that end.
A large portion of the signatures
were of business men in Imperial and
Calexico.
1t is understood that the petition is
sufficient to make it necessary for the
assessment to be submitted to a vote
of the district. for which a special
election will probably be called later.

standing and asked Prince when ne
was going to leave the ranch.
Prince replied that he would leave
when he finished his work for Fisher.
Wood retorted: Wont you leave be-
fore that?"
1t is at this point that the main
witnesses differed in who struck the
first blow Clarissa Wood testified
that her father picked up a monkey
wrench and that her brother-in-lav,
Fisher, stepped between Wood and
Fisher; that her father shook the
wrench at Prince and then threw it;
hitting Prince on the shoulder; that
Prince then reached around Fisher
and stabbed her father. On cross
examination she stated that she did
not see the knife
The other witnesses stated that
Prince struck Wood with his fist be
fore Wood got the wrench.
The prosecution had called all It's
witnesses yesterday afternoon and
Judge Cole continued the case a few
minutes after ) o'clock until o'clock
this morning.
When the case was called this
morning the defense called to the
stand the 12-year-old boy, Reuben

prosecution yesterday. in an effort to
test his memory of the events of July

The defense then called to the stand

ceased.
Fishers testimony substantiated
the testimony of witnesses called yes
terday in the fact that following the
first alteration with Prince Wood
went to get his gun and was disarmcd
by Mrs. Wood and himself
Fisher further testified that after
Wood threw the monkey wrench az
Prince in the second alteration, Wood
stopped presumably to get the wrench
again and Prince stabbed Wood, it all
happening very quickly.
Testimony of Fisher also was to
the effect that Wood had threatened
Prince several times during the day of
the tragedy.
During the examination of Fisher

ey Seymour clashed repeatedly, con

Cotton Condition
Is Most Favorable

Cotton conditions in the valley are

stated by excellent authority that
there is one grower in the valley who
will this year net $4,000, while there
are many smaller growers who viii
have net profits each from $4,000 TO
$4,000. This is due to the fact that
there is splendid yield coming at
the same time a. abnormally high
prices.
