 The vice presidents speech was probably his last public utterance before leaving Phoenix tomorrow for Indiana. and he held the closest attention of his audience throughout his address, in which he made strong argument for carrying out in every day life and in church activities the principles of Christianity.

TRINIDAD May 1-The fate of John R. Lawson was placed in the hands of twelve ranchers and busi- ness men of Las Animas county to- night. The case in which the noted labor leader is charged with mur- to the jury at the end of the sum ming up by Norton Montgomery, as sistant attorney general Nimmo, q deputy sheriff, was Killed on Oc- tcber 25 1913. in one of the battles which featured the recent strike of Colorado coal miners.
 The day was taken up in the argu- Gnents of tho attorneys after Judge liilIyer had delivered instructions to the jury Statements were made for the state by Frank West and Nor ton Montgomery and for the defense by Horace Hawkins Edward Costi- gan and Fred Clark
 The attorneys for the prosecution argued that their evidence proved the strikers started the battle on October 25 and that Lawson who was in command of the strikers. was at the Colorado and SoutheW estern railroad cut when Nimmo was shot The theory propounde1 by the de- fense on the other hand was the battle was started by deputy sheriffs and that Lawson instead of melting to riot, tried 10 calm hi.s men anu the women iii the Ludlow tent colony
 The prosecution urged the jury to impose the death penalty if Lawson k convicted of murder in the first degree. The defense took up the challenge and said they did not want any manslaughter verdict and also urged the jurors to either free the defendant or fix the penalty at death.
 Attorney West, arguing for the state. deprecated efforts which he said had been made to give the inn precision. that corporation interests were behind the prosecution of Law son. He declared the case was brought by the attorney general of the state on the complaint of q resi- dent of Las Animas county.
 The assistant attorney general eN- pressed admiration for the bravery of the small party Of deputies in resisting, he said, ah attack by q vastly superior force of strikers
 West closed his argument hy ask ing the jury to impose a death pen alty If Lawson was found guilty of murder in the first degree
