of the Stowe home, after he had re-
turned from his milk route on the morn

Testimony introduced by the defense
tended 10 show that Stowe had beaten
his wife and sons and that he had adj
vanced upon his wife with an open
knife on the afternoon preceding the
killing. He was restrained by his son,
Henry and his brother Sam Stowe, the
former testifying on the stand that
George Stowe had attempted to stick a
knife in him during the episode.
Testimony was concluded by both
sides Friday forenoon and arguments
begun in the afternoon. Due to the
fact that Mrs. Stowe was the first
white woman to be tried for murder in
Bexar county for many years, the case
was one Of considerable interest and
the Forty-fifth District courtroom was
crowded to capacity throughout the
trial.
Only one incident arousing any ex-
citement during the trial occurred Sat
urday morning when a man insisted on
standing in the courtroom. Deputy
Sheriff Serna insisted that he be seated
The man demonstrated but was quickly

told to A. j. Horner, father of the dead
boy. Police continued to hold to the
theory that Horner was killed by pro-

the messenger" for bootleggers when
the pair were driving their automo-

Horner was closely associated with
man named Floyd Felts, with whom he
had made several trips to Mexico, ac-
