FINAL TESTIMONY IS GIVEN OVER TO ACTS OF MAN WHO WAS SHOT

Whether Undersheriff Ed Bowers shot at Frank George just before the fatal bullet from Georges gun pierced his breast on the afternoon of July l, was the point around which revclved testimony for the de fcnse and the prosecution yesterday morning, during the closing moments of questioning witnesses before the defense rested its case. Upon this point hinged the defense, later argued to the jury by Attorney J. E. Rus sell as an armed invasion of another mans premises"
 Mrs. George took the stand for few moments, and in response to question of Defense Attorney Nor ton, whether she had said to Bowers before he entered the house, Don't go in, he'll kill you" replied:
 T did not"
 The testimony was offered in re- buttal of that of Mae Belle Hazard.
 Questioning of defense and prose cution witnesses went on under an almost continual fire of objections from opposing counsel. In response to testimony of Ramsey Patterson, government hunter, placed on the stand by the defense to testify re- garding the possibility of the bullet from Georges gun splitting after it left Ed Bowers body and piercing the window screen in two places, E. s. Clark, special counsel for the prosecution, raised a series of objec- tions, contending that the testimony had no bearing on the case.
 Defense counsel sought to elicit evidence supporting its contention that Ed Bowers was inside the house when he was shot, and thus, as they argued, was guilty of an armed in vasion of another mans premises" Deputy Sheriff Munds testified as to the position of certain blood stains within the door.
 That Ed Bowers, after he had re- ceived the bullet from Georges gun, replaced in its holster on his hip the revolver, defense witnesses said he had in his hand, was characterized as in their belief impossible by three physicians, Dr. H. T. Southworth, who was called to the house to at tend to Georges wounds, and Drs. C. E. Yount and R. N. Looney. The physicians were called by the state.
 This testimony also drew fire from the other attorneys, in the form of vigorous objections. We object" said J. E. Russell. This testimony is not rebuttal of anything. It isl only the opinion of a witness"
 With both sides resting, counsel to present their arguments to the jury. In response to ques- ton by the defense, concerning the timing of arguments, the court re- plied:
 I've never heard any of you talk, SO I don't know which would be the most tiresome"
 Opening Arguments
 Leo T. Stack opened for the de- fense after County Attorney John L. Sullivan had briefly outlined the states case. He spoke briefly, too, warming to his subject and pleading for the defense case of unwarranted intrusion on the part of the de- ceased.
 ]. E. Russell followed and de- veloped the previous argument at greater length, and was still speaking when the noon recess was taken.

DEFENSE ALSO PUTS
 ATTORNEY ON STAND

The state having used John L. Sul- livan, prosecutor, as a witness, the defense reciprocated by eliciting tes- timony from C. C. Norton. MT. Nor ton said he had gone to the house July 9 with Grant Carter and Carter had shown him some stains near the front door, calling them blood. Mir Clark asked if Mr. Norton had any experience with bloodstains. He had not His career, then, was not a bloody one? No.
 Why, then, the state wondered, the importance of this "sanguinary mani festation?" Mir. Norton professed to be dazed by the long words and MT. Clark explained he meant blood stains"
 The defense rested at 4:25. Mir. Clark then put on George F. Whit sitt for his amazing rebuttal state ment This testimony was put in the record over almost contentious argument. On cross-examination, the witness was permitted to admit that he was not on friendly terms with his daughter. He preferred to ex- plain instead Of answering by ives" or mo" The court permitted this, and the explanation was couched in these words: "A CHOICE BE- TWEEN HER FATHER AND THE DEPENDANT, FRANK GEORGE" MT. Whitesitt reflected before making this statement.
 Grant Carter denied having indi- cated anything as bloodstains to Mr. Norton. Mae Belle said George had told her before going to town, q am going downtown to sell bottle"
 There was delay while Nellie c. Marshall was brought in to refresh the recollection of counsel as to the record. MT. Powers was then at the reporters desk The state promised to be brief if permitted to wait until this morning before closing Court adjourned to 9 a. m.

Mir Clark's questions on cross examination were kindly but search ing. He first sought to elicit the fact that Alice and Mae Belle were friendly. He asked if Alice knew Ed Bowers. She said "No." She never saw him before. "The last you had seen of your husband he had a gum" ."Yes, across his knees"
 Mrs. George denied she had thrown her arms around Georges neck and asked, "Oh, Daddy, why did you shoot him?" as testified to by Dr. Southworth.

II. r. 6317, a bill for the appoint
ment of an additional judge for the
Eastern district of Oklahoma.
There are nine Circuit Courts OF
Appeals in the United states, and II
may be of interest to know that
about one-third of the cases han
died in these nine courts come
through the Eighth circuit, to
which belongs Oklahoma. One
cause of this condition is the large
number of appeals taken where
questions, concerning Indian lands
are involved. In deciding these
cases many times the Arkansas
laws must be construed, as the In
dian Territory for several years was
under the Arkansas law. Then they
compel the construction of the
Federal acts, treaties and the Okla
homa statutes. =
Favored by Gregory.
Former Attorney General Gregory
recommended the passage of a sim
liar bill during a former Congress
The Eighth circuit has We judges
and is the largest circuit in the
United States. Litigants in Okla-
homa and Arkansas must travel
something like 1,200 miles when
court is held in St. Paul. Mimi, and
the nearest distance is to st. Louis,
Mo, about 500 miles. Courts
should be established near the CEN
ter of-business and for the con-
venience of our citizens who have
cases in court. Appeals should be
simple and inexpensive, so that the
person of small means who is
brought into court may not have
the right of appeal denied by. reason
of the expense attached. The crea-
tiOn of the Tenth circuit will
greatly relieve this situation. There
is plenty of business in the States
of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Ten
nessee to keep three judges busy
and the court would be a great con-
venience and money-saver to the
people of these three States.
Extra Judge Necessary.
The other bill providing for an
additional judge for the Eastern
district of Oklahoma Is likewise
meritorious. There is more busi-
ness in this district than any one
Judge can handle. In this district
the Federal government is a party
to about 70 per cent of the cases.
Three tribal attorneys are employed
by the government and several pro-
bate attorneys in addition. The re-
| port of the clerk of this district
shows that for the fiscal year end
| ing June 80. 1921, there were fled
1855 criminal cases. 249 law cases,
| rs equity cases, 232 bankruptcy
cases, or a total of 1,6l4 cases.
With this number filed. but COM
paratively few can be tried at each
term of court, ana such a situation
causes many continuances. The ad-
ditional EXPENSE of another judge
would be more than offset by the
expense saved by having speedy
trial which does much toward law
enforcement. Delay benefits the
