 The most striking admission of
 Lara was that he made three distinct
 attempts to pull the trigger, succeed
 ing on the third trial On cross ex-
 animation. he was led to recount his travels with the Perez woman, with
 whom he stoutly denied having any
 intimate relations. He was intending
 to marry her, Inc said. He said that
 she had started to Chloride to visit
 sister and that he had been on his
 way to California, when the two met at Wickenburg. They pursued their way together, finally landing at
 Needles, where they sojourned seven
 or eight days. He denied having tried to rent a room at the Encinas
 house, claiming that he had shared the room of Fred Farrar and that on his return to Jerome, Encinas had given him his key, so he could put his effects in the room. He was not drunk. The afternoon, prior to the killing, he and Jiminez had wandered about Jerome, Jiminez frequently pointing out places where it would be convenient for them to fight, but ncv- CT giving any reason for desiring to engage in hostilitics. He made no in quiry, but finally admitted, Jiminez had told him that he wanted to try issues over the woman, whom he said Lara could not marry while he Uim- incz) could prevent it.
 Lara then told of the encounter in the hallway Jiminez, he said, came in on run, saying: "Now, the hour has arrived when you will be done for The hip-pocket defense was then put up, Lara declaring that all the while they were fighting over his gun, Jimincz held his hand in his right rear pants pocket, as though to pull a gun or knife.
 Jesus Romao was the next witness. He stood across the street from the Encinas house and saw Jiminez go leaping down the slight declivity into the front door, He deduced from the speed of yiminez' approach that there was something wrong and that trouble would come of it. Romao said that Lara spoke English, point on which there was great deal of con- hiciing testimony Martin Marquez, who claimed to have known Lara lol years, stated he could not speak En- gli5h. I.ara's character and reputa- ton, he stated, were good and peace full
 At this point. the defense wished to introduce the testimony of the Perez woman at the preliminary examina ton. Attorney J. F. Russell submit ted the subpoena on which there was no notation of service, to prove Mrs. Perez out of the jurisdiction of the court. The subpoenas were attacked by the prosecution, and Under Sheriff Robinson was sent for He said that to the best of his knowledge, the Perez woman was actually outside the State, and then, the transcript of the preliminary examination, relating to her testimony, was allowed to be en- tered.
 Heated arguments were delivered,
 first by Assistant County Attorney Neil Clark, then by Russell, and in summing up, by County Attorney Mitchell Russell stated that Jiminez was certainly the aggressor and that Lara had' shot in self-defense. Nit chell pointed out that it was Lara whom the two Farrar brothers had been restraining, that yimincz, accord ing to Lara's own testimony, was free and able to have drawn and used weapon, had he possessed one.
