Defense Centers Attack on
Ruling Relative to Some
PurpOrted Dying
Statements
VERDICT EXPECTED
BY SATURDAY NIGHT
JUDGE ANNOUNCES HE WILL
HOLD NIGHT SESSION TO-
NIGHT IF NECESSARY
TO RUSH CASE

Tulsa, Okla, July S.-District Judge
Redmond s. Cole this morning over
ruled the demurrer offered by the
in the trial of Mrs. Jesse James and
Goldie Gordon, on trial for the al
legged murder of Judge John Devereux,
former member OF the supreme court
commission, who died under mystic
rious circumstances. The ruling fol-
lowed lengthy argument.
Following the ruling the defense
again protested against the admission
of the testimony Of Mrs. c.. E. Thom-
as, given at the preliminary hearing
and Judge Cole again ruled in favor
of the state that the evidence be
admitted The defense then centered
its attack on the ruling of the court
Of Judge Devereux that he fell off
the bed and struck the radiator be
not admitted The court ruled early
in the trial that alleged statements
made by the judge while he was re-
ported to be in a senli-comatose state
could not be admitted as they were
not spontaneous utterances.
A verdict before Saturday night
was believed possible when court
opened on the fourth day Of the trial
of Mrs. Jesse James and Miss Goldie
Gordon this morning. Judge Red.
mond S. Cole announced he would
hold a night session tonight if neces-
co, - krtv ba and
The two accused women were the
jurist's nurses at the time he was
found drugged and suffering from a
wound.
The state rested it's case late yes
terday against the two women and
the defense announced that it would
offer a demurrer to the evidence this
morning. Considerable argument on
the motion is expected. In the event
the motion is overruled the defense
announced that 1t would at once put
on the stand its first witness, but
declined to state who II would be.
Late yesterday, Judge Cole admitted
the evidence of Mrs. G.. f. Thomas,
who is in Minnesota at the bedside
of a son. After temporarily ruling out
the testimony she gave at the pre-
limlnary hearing, Judge Cole decided
to admit it when the record OF the
justice court was produced. She tes-
titled as to alleged threats against
the judges life by Goldie Gordon.
Mrs. Juanita Morris also testified to
remarks Of Miss Gordon which the
state counsel interpreted as threats
against Judge Devereux's life.
Despite the sweltering heat, the
courtroom was crowded to its ca
pacity yesterday.

OPTIMISM
EXPRESSED IN THE
IRISH SITUATION
The Sim Fein Parliament
Issues Warning Against
Unauthorized
Reports"
SITUATION VIEWED
WITH LITTLE HOPE
REPRESENTATIVES, MEET TO
CONTINUE CONFERENCE
WITH HOPE OF PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS

London, July S.-Representatives of
the Sim Fein and the Unionists of
South Ireland met at Dublin today
to continue conversations, which it
was hoped, would develop some basis
for peace negotiations which would
end the era Of bloodshed that has pre-
vailed in Ireland for many months
verybody interested in the settlement
OF the Irish situation was anxiously
watching for news from Dublin but
English political writer's in this morn
ing's papers seemed to believe the pro-
spect Of an agreement should be re-
garded more with hope than with
faith. Ia many quarters, indeed, the
situation was viewed as giving little
occasion for optimism.
This view was based largely on the
belief that Eamonn de Valera, leader
of the Sim Fein adhered unalter-
ably to his demand for the estab-
lishment of an Irish republic and that
British government as well as Ulster,
took its stand upon tine Irish act,
recently passed by the British parlia-
ment. 1t was stated that Earn Mid
Teton a South Ireland unionist leader,
who was in London to confer with
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
others and who returned to Dublin
last night, had taken with him an
intimation That any settlement must
be in harmony with the Irish act, in
accordance with which the Belfast par
Lament was created.
Whether in the face of such an at
titude, Mr.. de Valera would accept
| the prime minister's invitation to
London was regarded in many quar-
ters as extremely doubtful. Where
the more hopeful view was taken,
! however, IL was believed that Mr.. dc
Valera might reply with a counter
proposal This, according to informa-
ton received By The Associated Press
from Belfast, might take the form OF
Mr.. de Valera insisting tnat the gov
ernment put it's cards on the table
before disclosing his own hand. II
was said he might maintain that, as
Mr.. Lloyd George had proposed q
conference between Ulster, South
ireland and British government, the
onus of the situation was upon him.
Another view held in Ulster was
that the Sim Fein could not stand the
financial strain OF prolonging the con.
flict and therefore was disposed &c
come to terms.
In such event, however, it was con-
tended serious difficulty might aris'
with the Catholic church in Ulster
which might resist any partition that
would place the power to legislate up
on educational subjects in hands oi
the north Irish parliament.
In view of the great diversity OF
reports it might be significant that
the Sim Fein parliament last night IS
sued an announcement warning the
public against unauthorized ant
speculative reports connected with tbs
situation"

mask American oil producers" whom
ne charged with "scandalous actions,
not only against the Mexican treasury
but against the United States as we'll"
This statement was published in
three Mexico City newspapers and
there was much speculation Of the
meaning Of the secretary's statement.
