WINTER TRIAL HALTED STATE WITNESSES
 ABSENCE FROM COURT.

Trial of George W. Winter, charged with killing I. g. Mills, August 8, 1922, was halted at o'clock Thursday aft ernoon to permit the state to get it's witnesses before the court. This action was permitted through an agreement of both sides when upon the close of the defense's testimony 1t was found that certain witnesses to be used in rebuttal by the state were not present. The trial will be continued at 9:30 o'clock, Friday morning.
 Winter attempted to establish a complete alibi Thursday. Testimony was introduced accounting for his presence all during the night on which the killing occurred. Wit nesses stated that Winter attended lodge meeting the night of August 3, and that he then went home where he retired for the night. Mrs. Win ter testified as to her husbands Whereabouts on the night of the kill ing at the morning court session.
 Clashes between John W. Altman, counsel for Winter, and Maj. Lucien Brown of the Law Enforcement league, defense witness, enlivened the morning session. MT. Altman sought to prove by Major Brown that the law enforcement league had made special effort to convict Winter because he was a striker and a union member. MT. Brown denied this, stating that the league merely investigated cases. MT. Altman was halted by the court when he began an argument with the witness. Counsel for the state also took a hand in the argument until presiding judge John Mckinley stopped the tilt.
 It is probable that the case will reach the jury late Friday. Part of. the morning session will be taken by rebuttal testimony and arguments will follow.
