ILLNESS D F

Wife of Jurist Presiding at
Murder Trial S Close to
Deaths Door as After
math of Flu.

Due to the serious illness of the
wife of Judge Franklin j. Cole, the
Pulia Singh murder case was ad-
iculned this afternoon and further
sessions postponed by stipulation of
the attorneys until next Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Mrs. Cole. who has been i'll for
some time from Influenza and its
aftermaths, recently underwent an
operation for a mastoid abcess. Aft
-. her condition had slightly i'm
proved and hope was entertained for
her early convalescence, she suffered
u relapse and her condition has been
serious for several days.
At noon today she suddenly took
a turn for the worse and with her
condition critical the attending ply
.3icians ordered another and immedi-
ate operation in the hope of having
her life. She was rushed to the hos
pital at noon.
The chief defense of Attorneys Will
son and holland for their client, Ru-
liza Singh, developed plainly and
strong in the morning session. They
base their hope for a verdict of ac-
quittal on an alibi, which so far has
been supported and corroborated b!
%heree witnesses.

Singh was lying in his bed in ware
Of tie Holtville hospital.
Jewn Singh told about being at
tracted to Rulia's room by the oft.
repeated sound of violent coughing
Knowing that Rulia was the patinet
he went in to speak to him. Later
he was joined in the room for a mo.
ment by Basant Singh.
Agreeing to go home for the night
with Basant Singh, Jewen stated that
he idly pulled his watch out of his
pocket as they left the hospital ward
and noted the time at 1925 p. m.
Basant Singh, who had no watch
testified that his clock at his ranch
house, seven miles from Holtville,
the time of sos on their ar
rival home.
Their strong testimony was par
-cially corroborated by Mr.. and Mrs
Miller. proprietors of the hospital
The Millers testified to seeing the
Hindus go in Rulia Singh's room and
told of giving medicine to Rulia at
6 o'clock.
Thus the defense clearly scored in
the days proceedings. Their wit
nesses, summed up, have sought to
establish that Rulia Singh was in
the hospital eight miles away from
the scene Of the Albert Joe murder,
committed shortly after o'clock on
the night of November p.
The defense attorneys state they
have four more witnesses to call,
and that they can probably rest their
case by Monday noon. This will
mean, allowing the afternoon ses-
sion for argument, that the case
will go to the jury probably late
Monday afternoon.

Near Octogenarian of Bard
District Bound Over on
Bail of $1,000 to Answer
Charge.

Don C. Bitter, special Investigate
ing deputy for the district attorneys
office, returned today from Yuma,
where he appeared as prosecutor in
the first criminal case which the
quiet and law-abiding district of
Bard has had in more than fourteen
months.
Although maintaining a high av-
erage of morality, the district, how
ever, in this instance, has produced
an Unusual case wherein a civil war
veteran, Isaac N Snyder, II years
old, was charged with assault with
intent to commit murder.
Snyder was accused of attacking
his neighbor, George Caswell, 40
years old, with a gun following an
ting down of mesquite tree grow
ing on the bank of the irrigating ca
nal forming the boundary line of
their respective ranches.
The skot struck Caswell, who was
walking toward his house at the mo-
:nent, in the heel, inflicting a painful
but not serious wound. During the
court proceedings testimony was Civ
en- which reflected on the defendants
attitude toward the Liberty Bond
and Red Cross war drives.
Fighting the case every inch, the
near octogenarian won two points.
He secured a change of venue from
Bard to Hanlon and obtained ruling
which reduced the offense to assault
with deadly weapon. The original
charge, on conviction, would have
sent the aged man to prison.
The case is only the third which
the Bard district has furnished the
criminal docket of the courts in four
years, and the first in fourteen
months
