 T0 JURY TO-DAY
Defense Rests and First
 of Final Arguments Is made; Date of Disappear ance Is made Much of

At 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon, on the second day of the second week of the trial of Ival McCann for the murder of Kenneth C. Folston on or about November 20 of last year, the last word of testimony had been put in and Attorney Clark for the defense, a motion to instruct the jury having been denied, announced that the defense rested. It was then ordered that each side should be allowed three hours for arguments and the case for the state was opened by Assistant County At torney Harry Johnson. In an address of an hour, he reviewed all the testi- mony that had been adduced. Whether MT. Pugh or MT. Clark will open for the defense this morning was not stated. County Attorney Laney will close for the state this afternoon.
 The trial of the case yesterday morn ing was resumed with H. R. Larson still on the stand and on direct exam ination in rebuttal. MT. Larson is the stenographer who took down notes of the conversation in the offices or the county attorney on the night of the first arrest of the defendant, be- tween him on one side and the county attorney and other persons on the other.
 The witness, with a copy of the transcript before him to refresh his memory, was questioned by the county attorney as to various phases of the conversation, and in this matter all the essential statements of the de- fendant that night were gone over, the witness declaring that such statements had been made. On cross examination NIf arIy ha script in the same manner.
 rhe testimony in rebuttal was in troduced by the state to show aha, there had never been theory that the murder of Folston had been committed prior to November 20 The first inti- nation that the date would be attacked came in the testimony of Attorney A. D. Leyhe the day before in the course of which on cross examination he stated that from newspaper ac- , counts of the affair it appeared to him that the crime might have been com mitted the day before in the afternoon of which he had met and talked with the defendant in Phoenix.
 From the files of the Republican il appeared that in only one story of the Folston case was there any mention of the date of the disappearance ol Folston and that was in the first ac- count published, November 23, in which it was stated that Folston had disap- peared on the previous Tuesday, No vember 19.
 Lyman La Tourette of the sherfif's office was called to testify as to con- versations between the defendant ant other persons. which had taken plac, in that office or about the jail. An other witness was Arthur l. Worden O, Worden's garage, where the defendant mad been employed, and where Folstor had kept his car and frequently visited The last witness was Lee Walker O. Inc Harmon ranch, where Ben Folstor was employed, and where the defend ant came on the Wednesday following the disappearance of Folston to tel his brother that he was missing. Tn, testimony of Walker related to tn, presence of Ben FOlston at the rancl and of his own and Ben Folstonl movements during fair week precedn! the disappearance of FolstOn.
