 The fate of Huey Wilson, who shot and killed his nephew, Bolden Will son, near Faulkner Gap on March IS, 1916, will probably be in the hands of the above jury in the Faulk- ner circuit court when court adjourns late this afternoon. At noon today the state had rested and the defense mony The selection of a jury was completed shortly before adjourn ment Monday afternoon, after the state and defense had exhausted all but one of their challenges and a dozen veniremen had been excused by the court.
 The general impression in the lcourtroom is that the states witness es have made strong case against Wilson and that the best the de- fense can hope for is mistrial or a conviction for lesser degree of hon. icide than first degree murder. At torneys on both sides are bitterly contesting every atom of evidence and the court is being constantly called upon to rule on objections raised by both sides. Col. G. w. Bruce is assisting Prosecuting Attor- ney G. O. Bogle for the state and the defendant is represented by Robins X Clark and R. G. Bruce.
 Mrs Dollie Wilson, wife of Mathew Wilson, was the first witness called by the state today. Mrs. Wilson tes- tified that she was sitting beside Bol den Wilson at the time he was shot. She said she saw Huey Wilson, the defendant, approaching the wagon in which she was riding, and when he was even with the mules heads, he leveled shotgun upon Bolden, ap- preaching few steps farther and fired. She corroborated the testi- mony of Mrs. Cora Wilson's, who tes- tified yesterday afternoon, regarding the circumstances following the firing of the first shot. She stated that Bolden made no threats whatever, and denied that he had weapon.
 Bolden's father, Marion L. Wilson, took the witness stand next. He said that he was about 200 yards behind the wagon in which the tragedy oc- cured, and that he heard the reports of the gun and the cries of his son, and started toward the scene. He had gotten but little distance when his brother, Huey Wilson, fired upon him. He then took a circuitous route to the home of J. A. Booher, mile and a half distance, where he learned for the first time that his son was dead Upon cross examination, Marl- on Wilson denied that he had ever told anybody he and his son, Bolden, intended to fix Huey.' No ill feel ing existed at the time between him and his brother. Huey, he declared.
 w. J. Fulmer, neighbor of the Wilson's, was the last to testify in be- half of the state. He stated he was member of the corners jury that investigated the affair the night 1t occurred. He described the wounds found on Boldens body. The defense asked him no questions.
 The state rested at l0:45 o'clock this morning.
 The defense's first four witnesses, R. J. Hooks, w. E. Stewart, Jona- than Hooks and Albert Gatewood, were called only for the purpose of showing that the reputation for truth and morality of Mrs. Cora Wilson, wife of Marion Wilson and step mother of the slain youth, who was the first witness examined by the state, was bad Each said that it was, and that they would not believe her on oath Rufus Dubois testified as to the defendants reputation, which he said was good.
 J. A. Booher, neighbor of Huey's stated that Huey had made arrange ments with him to assist in rebuild ing his home, which had burned a short time previous. His testimony regarding threats he is alleged to have heard made by Bolden and his father against Huey was not allowed to go before the jury.
