MUNICIPAL HALL
Citizens Committee Appointed
to Confer with City Council

A meeting was held Tuesday night,
after the lawn social on the church lawn,
to take up the matter of the prospect
i've town hall. The village voted bonds
last winter, for hall, but the board
has not been able to make the amount
of money available, and the real needs
of the community for a commodious
hall, come out together. A number of
plans have been submitted, and esti-
mates made as to the cost of some of the
plans but in no case is there enough
money to cover the villages needs as
the council views it. So the months
have slipped by, and the town is still
without hall
At this meeting, motion was made
that committee of five citizens be
asked to cooperate with the council, to
agree if possible on some definite plan
and make report within the next three
weeks. Five members were elected by
the meeting-C. j. Lisle, Rev. Leitch,
R. j. Lennon, Mrs. Schwaner and Mrs.
Kays-and they are to meet with the
council on Saturday night and see if the
new members can solve the vexatious
problem.

as a boy when the door swung on man sentenced to death, and the grim climax to it all. The scene, he said, left an impression on his mind that he could never banish whenever he had to deal with a murder case. Such a note of pathos did he strike that the young and anxious wife could no longer hold back her emotion. He recognized he said his own failings but in the name of the God above he asked that the jurors should not visit his short comings on the head of the defendant.
 This case, he said, presented many questions and was one of the most pe culiar in Ling's experience of 4 years The evidence showed that defendant came to Arizona in the end of March to see Booth. He told the jury that he came to prevent Booth from dragging his wife down to d life of shame. He had q right to seek him out and that of itself was not a crime. He tried to locate his man. he made inquiries and when he walked to the tent where Booth was sleeping he called his name three times. The evidence of the col ored boy and Burge showed that Booth called "Hullo" at the second call from Wiggins. It was only when Booth made q motion to reach under his pillow for his gun that Wiggins recalling the i threats Booth had made on his life, pulled on him in direct defense of his | own life. Unless this story of defen- 1 dant had actually been contra dicted, the jury was compelled to believe it. and any doubt they might hold in the case was due to the defendant.
 Counsel laid particular stress on the medical evidence of pr. Brecken and 1 the evidence of Judge Carr, which went to show that the paralysis rend- cred by the two bullets in the head oi 1 Tap Booth had arrested further action and the paralyzed position that was re- tained indicated an effort to reach the loaded gun under his pillow With re- i gard to the claim of the prosecution
 that the body bore bullet wounds in- flicted after it had rolled off the cot

 self on the floor of the courtroom iT
 the position in which evidence showed
 the body of Tap Booth had been found on the ground within the tent
 The instructions to the jury special ly adapted to suit the present cast
 took a prominent part in the state ments of the counsel in his speech fol
 the defense.
 These instructions provided he said
 in a case where defendant had previ
 ously been threatened, he was justi

 ileved himself to be attacked. The law
 counsel explained, would not look witt
 the leniency on the man who pulled
 gun on a man without cause that i would observe towards the man wh
 had been threatened.
 Counsel condemned forcibly the ac ton of the Booths in the case. No , content with branding the young wifi in Texas he said, they endeavored t !; further blacken her character by drag ging her to the witness stand. Coun
 sel did not believe there was man i Arizona who would not have show } more chivalry than the Booths ha shown
Arizona republican., 1914-06-28

The court, however, oVer-"uled the objections and Burge touched again upon the points of the killing of Tap Booth at Tempe, of which he was the only actual eye witness.
 In contradiction of the statements of the witness Barron for the de- fense, Forrest Booth, an uncle of the deceased who resides at Timpson, Texas, told of the location of the saw mill in which Barron said he was working, giving such different ! dates and localities as to practically | impeacn that portion of Barron's evil dence.
 Sheriff E. W. Cubid of St. Au- gustine county, Texas, testified that the reputation Of Booth for peace and quietude was good; that he had never heard of Tap breaking up any | homes. The witness Vim was called and questions asked him but they were ruled out on the objection of MT Ling that they did not consti- ute rebuttal.
 The Father of the Deceased.
 The last witness for the state was Zack Booth, the father of the slain boy, Tap Booth. Mr. Booth gave his occupation as that of a farmer, said te was 50 yeas old and that he liv- ed few miles from Center, Texas, the county seat of Shelby county Here the county attorney attempted
 to get the witness to state hat he
 had arresed the defendant on occas- l tt-hi -hn n,
 Shelby, but MT. Ling objected on the
 ground that the record of the court
 proceedings would be the best evi- dencc. A wrangle ensued in whict
 the defense insisted it had a right
 to prove the disposition of the de
 fendant, and no one man was better
 qualified to give such testimony a.
 a man who himself had been the ar
 resting officer in the case, but tht
 court however held with MT. Ling
 but granted the state opportunit,
 to present authority at the afternoon
 session.
 Under the examination of MT Ly
 man, Mr. Booth told of the wherea
 bouts of his son prios to his comin,
 to Arizona In answer to the direc question "did you and others wal , for Doctor Wiggins one night witt !, sawed off shotgrns, the witnes
 stated with some heat that is an
 ether falsehood" Mir Ling objected again on the ground that it matteret
 rot whether this witness and other were actually waiting with sawed of
 shot guns, or whether they were no , waiting. The only issue in the cas was whether the defendant had beel , informed that such men were wait
 ing for him and whether he had req } son to believe that. Ling said tn l rule was clear; that the effect o /, such statement upon the mind of tn 9 defendant causing him to do subse l quent action, was important an l proper testimony and had been sub : mitted by the defense at the prope r time, but that this other matter t 2 | which MT. Booth sought to testif! was not proper. The court sustaine t the objection.

his murder.

his murder
 MT. Lyman insisted that the physical fact spoken of by MT. Ling in his argu- ment for self-defense were not worthy of consideration, in view of the fact that the bullets which took the boys life sped from a revolver which he could not see. And that the convul- sions through which the body went immediately following the severence of the spinal cord, were similar to those through which any animal goes when given a mortal wound. He called upon the twelve men from Maricopa county to vindicate the honor of the state, and in their verdict show that no man may wilfully take the life of another and not expect to pay the adequate penalty.
 He secuted the idea that any consid- eration such as had been put up by the defense was to be seriously considered in reaching the verdict, and insisted that the actions of the defendant were such as to lead any reasonable man to understand that he was not suffering because of the belief in his heart that his home had been broken up by the deceased; neither was any such consid = eration present with him when he will fully took the life of Tap Rooth.
 So hard had the county attorney worked on this case that at the conclu- sion of his speech, and following the charge of the judge, he immediately went home and to bed and was not aroused when the verdict was returned In fact, MT. Lyman is nearly worn with the exertion of two weeks of continual work in murder cases
 In his charge to the jury, Judge O'Connor gaIe thirty-tWo specla charges, fifteen of which were obtained by the state and dwelt upon the ques- tion of murder in the first degree. SeV- enteen were obtained by the defense most of which dwelt with the question of reasonable doubt and selfdefenst and the application to the case o threat. Tn addition to this, the cour charged the usual paragraphs on tho various degrees of murder. Judge O'Connor completed his charge at five minutes after nine and the jury retired
 The Evidence in RebuttaI.
 The entire morning session of tn court was taken up with consid eration of the evidence in rebuttal and because of the fact that oblec tions were made by Attorney Llni to the statements of counsel for stat the morning naturally became on wrangla after another. The import ance of the testimony to the stat was such that it was conceded coul' it not be gotten into the record the chances for the conviction of tn accused were somewhat slim. Seve witnesses were placed on the stan and seven short examinations pro ceeded Burge. the first witness flo the state, was recalled and at tn beginning of his testimony the de fendant objected on the ground tha the questions of the states attorne did not constitute rebuttal, that | they did not seek to conradi6 wholly the evidence of the defens but rather constituted additional evi dence which ought to have bee brought at the examination in chic
