SECOND CHARLES TOWN TRIAL
Judge Woods Rules Evidence
May Be Received Covering
the Entire Armed March
Period.

Charles Town, w. Va, June lS-(By
the Associated Press)-A new angle
which may prolong indefinitely the trial
Of the Rev. J. E. Wilburn. charged with

when the court ruled that evidence may
be introduced from the first gathering
OF armed marchcrs At Marmet last sufo-
mer until federal troops were sent into
the southern coal fields and hghting

The reason for the ruling, the court
held. was that the motive for the killing
must be proved and whether malice was
behind it. The court contcnded thai
this conclusion could be reached only
by the jury in ascertaining facts con-
ncc:ed with the armed march.
The prosecution had contended that
it's sole purpose was to prove that the
defendant and seven others indicted un.
der the same charge had gone to Blair
Gap from Blairtown and had malicious

deputies State counsel argued against
permitting the introduction OF evidences

attempt to prove conspiracy.

In Its opening statement today the
second day OF the trial, the state aSkea
