19-year-old girl who shot and killed
her husband, Claude A Mullinax at

District Attorney Lyman and his as
sistant, c. NJ Candy, are conductini,
the case for the state, while form er
Judge Baker, Alexander Baker, Jr. e,
and George A. Crowder represent the
defendant.
The MullinaX murder has created
more attention and perhaps excited
more general interest than any MUIR
der committed in Maricopa county in
recent years According to the story
of the girl, she had been abused by
her husband and her life had been
threatened by him so many times
she felt that she had no other course
to take. She had been married but
seven months, her marriage taking
place in the east,and she had been in
Phoenix but one month when the
tragedy occurred. She declares that
during her short married life there
had been nothing but trouble and
abuse from her husband and that she
had grown afraid of him. She says
that he told her many times that he
would kill her but that always when
other people were present, he was
kind and thoughtful.
When the girl was taken to the

OLD DOMINION.
Large Gain in Disqualification
Proceedings.

The Old Dominion company is max
ing heavy gain in output. The May
figures were the largest on record,
being 100000 pounds, a gain of
$4,000 pounds over the same month
last year. For the five months from
Jan. to May 81 the output has been
14;942,000 pounds or 100000 pounds
more than year ago.
The case of Albert S. Bigelow
against the Old Dominion Copper
Mining company, in which
Mr.. Bigelow asks for leave to file a
petition to review a degree of the
supreme judicial court, made four
years ago, ordering him to pay more
than 100000 to the Old Dominion,
was on the list for hearing this week
before Judge De Coury in the equity
session of that court. A cart load of
bound financial volumes of New York
and Boston papers had been brought
into the court room to be used in
evidence.
Owing to the large number of
cases in which counsel responded
that they were ready for hearings,
Judge DeCourcy remarked that as
it would be impossible to dispose of
them this week and as the consulta-
ton of the full court next week and
other matters would render it neceS-
sary to continue cases until fall, the
judge suggested that as far as pos
sible counsel who desired to expedite
their cases had better agree upon
masters to hear them.
Moorefield Storey, counsel for Bige-
low, thereupon informed the court
that he believed under the circum-
stances this case should go to a
master as it would involve the taking
of much testimony
E. F. McClennen for the Old Do
minion company said that he thought
that the court should hear this case
inasmuch as the action asked for was
without precedent. The court was
not only asked to reverse its own &C
ton, but also to reverse a degree of
States.

Rules Committee Postpones Until
July 1 Action on Special Rule to
Provide Consideration of Hobson
Amendment.

Washington, June 10.-Nation-
wide prohibition will be voted upon
by the house within four of five
weeks, according to predictions to-
night after the rules committee had
postponed until July 1 action on a
special rule to provide for immediate
consideration of the proposed Hob
son amendment. In some quarters
it is said the delay meant no action
at this session of congress, but mem
bers of the committee emphatically
asserted they would consider and
probably favorably report the Can
trill rule resolution in July.
This action of the committee fol-
lowed a day of stormy conferences
between groups of congressman
without reference to political divi-
sion. 1t was generally conceded the
opponents of the Hobson amendment
were forcing the issue at this time
confident that the meaure could not
poll the two-thirds vote necessary
for passage, even although a major
ity might favor it.
Representative Hobson himself
does not favor action at this time.
although he said tonight that the
vote would be taken in the house
the second week in July.
IF the house fails to adopt my
resolution" Mr.. Hobson added 1T
will be brought up again next De-
cember."
When the committee by a vote of
5 to deferred consideration of the
rule it was announced that this
course had been deemed wise be-
cause of the conversation for i'm
mediate disposition
Earlier Mr.. Hobson and E. c. Din
widdle, legislative agent of a number
of prohibition organizations, who had
been invited to appear before the
committee, submitted written state
ments. Hobson wrote that he de-
sired to have his resolution changed
in accordance with the amended re-
solution he introduced. yesterday to
meet the question on states rights.
In connection with the question
of the senate for consideration by
the house of this joint resolution"
the statement continued, Il wish to
state that many members of the
house, irrespective of party or politi-
cal affiliations, requested me not to
press the resolution for consideration
until they had time to give it ma
ture consideration and time to con-
fer with their constituents. 1 have

1t was Annie's engagement to Tom
Claflin that provoked the old womans
rage. Annie had been a drudge ever
since her aunt adopted her at the
age Of ten, fifteen years before. No
body had thought that the plain, quiet
girl would ever marry. But Claflin,
the young lawyer saw underneath the
plain exterior-saw the heart of gold
and the sterling character and loving
nature, long subdued and repressed,
but not killed Annie had longed to
lavish her tenderness on the grabbed
old woman-then, after years Of vain
effort to win her love, Tom had come
along and claimed her.
When the misery old woman heard
of it she expressed herself in charac
teristic fashion.
