 the Superior court Considerable time
 was taken up yesterday in the argu-

 house just after the shooting. This
 applied to the statement that was
 made to E. K. Mattingly. who asked
 MT. Olds if the shooting was acciden-

 go in over the objections of the de- fense. Dri Prestal was on the stand most of yesterday afternoon and was recalled again this afternoon. F. H. Mottingly, Jack Busengark, Jim Law son were examined for the State dur ing the day and the State will not con clude it's case before tomorrow even ing. if at that time.
