Orpet, charged with the murder Of
his former sweetheart, Marion Lam

lcution, read twenty-five of his love
letters addressed to Marion. The
twenty-five remaining ones will be
Tread tomorrow, after which the state
will rest its case.
During the presentation of the evi-
|dence bearing more directly on the
charge of murder the defendant sat
with his head only slightly bent and
was quick to return a resentfnl glare

at him, but during the reading of his
letters he sat with his head bowed
and one hand shading his eyes from
all observers, even those who sat
closest to him.

begged her to write oftener and cut

FL Paso, Tex, June 22.--The Amer
lean who engaged the Carranza SOL
ders in battle at Carrizal yesterday
were heavier losers than the Mexicans,
according to reports issued by the
Mexican consulate in FL Paso today.
The Mexicans claim that while four
teen of their number were killed and
thirty wounded, the Americans suf-
fered an even dozen killed and lost
seventeen as prisoners. In addition,
they say the Americans had an un-
known number of wounded which
they carried off with them.
Both Leaders Killed.
They point out also that while the
Carranza commander, Gen. Felix Go
mez, lost his life, the American leader
also was killed.
Uncertainty regarding the identity
of the commander of the American
troops was believed today to have
been Gissipated by a report received
through Columbus, n. NJ, that he was

cavalry Captain Morey apparently

.Inarez Garrison Leaving.
gs5il3as,aa tit receipt of the news Of
the Carrizal encounter the Juarez gar
rison, just across the river from Eil
Paso, last night began the evacuation
of the town. More than half of the
garrison got out during the early
morning hours and at noon most of
the remainder We're loaded on trains,
ready to depart.
Evacuation of Juarez was deemed
advisable because a battery of 4.7-inch
guns, capable of throwing a sixty
pound explosive six miles, pointed |
their noses threateningly over FL Paso
today in the direction of the Mexican
city. The southernmost outskirts of
Juarea are not more than three and Il
half miles from the battery, which |
could wipe the town off the map in an
hours time.

today but in most instances the troops
have been concentrated few miles

1t seemed fairly we'll established,
