ALLEGED SLAY ER'S
FATES0ON TO REST
WITH JURY
James Oliver James Hears His
Life Demanded by State
Without Emotion

James Oliver James, rs unmovcd as
the Sphinx, heard today the relentless
demand of the state that he be hanged
for the asserted murder of T. Yoshifu
ku, wellto-do Japanese druggist OF
Brawley.
James trial for the weird crime with
which he is charged was drawing to .
close this afternoon, with expectations
that it would reach the jury late this
afternoon for verdict.
Arguments in the ease began this
morning, Deputy District Attorney
Charles Scott opening for the prosecu
ton.
With cold logic Scott reviewed the
chain of circumstantial evidence intro
duced against James, a Brawley barber
who is said to have shot and killed the
Japanese in an attempted robbery oil
the early evening of January 10. Scott
drew u picture of James Disgusting
himself in false whiskers and common
clothes; of his going into the drug
store, thrustng II 45-calibcr revolver
into the druggist s face and demand
ing money. Then, when the Japanese
resisted, James fired, killing his victim
Like mute aceusers, Scott refereed to
the suitcases found in James posses
sion when he was arrested, in which
were masks and other paraphernalia
for DISCUSSES; in which was the ugly
revolver, with one chamber empty and
u fired shell among his clothing.
! Rcplving for the defendant, Attor
ncy Ilolton and Utley argued that the
possession OF masks, false boards, etc
by barber was not in itself incrimin
ating; that the gun had been fired al
n frightened rabbit and the she'll had
fallen carelessly into the suitcase
where it was found. These things
proved his innocence of murder, for he
would have been more careful and
ridded himself of such damning evi
@"nce if guilty, they argued.
Alr. Scott closed for the state with 6
restoration of demond for the deatl
penalty, aud James, small, wiry, hi,
hair tinged with gray, sat behint
heavy glasses and blinked while hi
fate went into the hands of the jury.
