JACKSON'S FATE IS
IN HANDS OF JURY

Thomas Jackson, accused of cutting
C. L. Rolls with a razor, is now
awaiting a verdict from the jury, that
body having retired at noon to de-
liberate on the evidence. The testi-
mony was finished yesterday after
noon. This morning arguments were
made by Attorney Dan V. holland for
the defendant and by District At
torney Galen Nichols and Deputy E.
r. Simon for the state.
Jackson maintains that he attacked
Rolls in self defense, claiming that
the foreman of the Woods ranch had
repeatedly struck him when he ap-
piled for his wages.
Jackson was employed on the Woods
ranch, where Rolls was foreman.
Jackson claims he desired to quit
work and when he asked for his mon
ey the foreman became enraged, as
saulting him with his fists. To pro-
tect himself, Jackson states, he pulled
out a razor and defended himself.

WILL SEND HIS REGRETS
TO HIS OWN EXECUTION
(By United Press)

London, Jan. 12-ProfesSor T. G..
Masaryk will have to send his regrets
to Vienna when the time comes for his
execution. Masryk is scheduled to be
the guest of honor at the killing, but
doesn't believe he will be able to at
tend.
The Austrian government conducted
a regular orderly trial of Hasaryli
on charges of high treason. He was
sentenced to death following a verdict
of guilty. The defendant was in Lon
don, where he remains today as a lee
turer at the University of London.
Masaryk is one of the most inter
esting figures in the Slav political and
scientific world. AS leader of the
progressives in the Reichsrath, he was
forever demanding liberation of the
Czech natoin from Austrian domina-
tion.
The outbreak of the war made
things very uncomfortable for the pro
fessor in Austria, so he left.
He had organized and led the op'
position to Austria's annexation Of
Bosnia ard Herzegovina.
Masaryk, although theoretically az
enemy alien, has found London friend
+ rly compared to his homeland.
