FINAL ARGUMENTS
IN CALHOUN CASE
ARE GIVEN TODAY

Arguments in the Calhoun trial
in the superior court, were expected
to be finished when court adjourned
at ) o clock this afternoon, and the
case will be given TO the jury to-
morrow morning, following the
judges instructions.
Deputy District Attorney ]. f.
Simpson, opened the arguments for
the prosecution yesterday afternoon,
in which he accused Calhoun of will
full and deliberate murder and de-
cried the claims of the defense that
Calhoun was of unSound mind when
he shot Jean Hudson in this city on
December &c, 1924. He asserted
that Calhoun s actions, following
the shooting, when he fled to Heb
er and thence to Mexico, We're those
of sane man, taking every precau-
ton to avoid capture by the author
tiles.
He urged the jury to bring in a
verdict of guilty, maintaining that
tn evidence produced by the state
warranted such a verdict.
Attorney Edgar B. Hervev fol-
lowed Simpson, with the opening ar
gument for the defense. He con-
tinued his talk when court conven-
ed this morning, and finished at
noon. Hervey contended that the
testimony presented showed that
Calhoun was suffering from psychic
epilepsy at tire time he shot Hud-
son. and asserted that the act was
justified by the CONDUCT of Hudson
toward the defendant an dhis wife
| over period OF several wears. fin
| ally driving the defendant to n
state of mind where he believed he
was acting in defense of his home,
his own life and his wife $ when he
fired the fatal shot.
Utley Speaks Last
o. V. Wilson, of the defense
counsel, made the closing argument
for Calhoun when the afternoon ses-
sion of the court started, and reit-
trated the claims of Hervev, that
the defendant was not in his right
mind at the time of the shooting, al
so that the act was iustifiable.
District Attorney Utlev was sched-
uled to make the closing argument,
asking that the jury return n YER
diet of guilty.
The present trial, which is the
second one for Calhoun, has now
been in the court for seven days
The first trial, which resulted in n
hung Jury, required IL days, includ-
ing the two davs occupied by the
/ Jury in its deliberations. 1t is be,
lieved that the present trial will be
comnleted Friday or Saturday.
The case has not attracted as
many spectators rs the first trial
did, there being many vacant seats
at each session of the court, where.
as standing room was at a premium
during the first trial.

CANTAL0UPE MEN
WILL MEET HERE
FOR CONFERENCE
Southern Pacific to Give
Annual Dinner
Same Date

Imperial Valley cantaloupe grow
crs have been invited by Horticul
tural Commissioner Harrigan to at
tend a conference at the Barbara
Worth hotel Tuesday morning, May
-, for the purpose of discussing
Standardization laws, inspection and
other matters pertaining to the pre-
sent cantaloupe crop which will be-
gin moving shortly after that date.
Every grower and distributor in
the valley is urged by the commits
sioner to make special effort to
attend the meeting, in order that
there may be no misunderstanding
regarding the standardization laws
after the seasom has started.
Heretofore, the cooperation be
tween the growers and the horticul-
tural commissioner office in up
holding the law, has been one of
the outstanding features of the can
taloupe season, Harrigan said this
morning, and he is anxious that this
condition should prevail again this
year.
Due to the fact that there have
been several changes i'll the stand
ardization law, it is desirable that
the cantaloupe men become familiar
with the requirements of the law.
Although a conference of the hor-
ticultural commissioners of the state
has been callea ~ meet in Los An
geles ON May 12 and IS, Harrigan
said he believed it is more import
ant to Imperial Valley that the cant
aloupe season should get off to {
proper start, therefore he does not
intend to be present at the Los
Angeles conference, and will attend
the local meeting instead.
! The annual dinner, given by the
Southern Pacific to the cantaloupt
! men, will be held at the Barbara
/ Worth following the cantaloupe con
ference, and c. w. Runge, district
freight and passenger agent of the
railroad company, wishes to have
every firm and grower connected
with the cantaloupe industry, re,
presented at the meeting. The ban
quet is given by the RAILROAD com
pany as an expression of good will
toward the cantaluupe growers and
shippers, who are responsible for
the enormous crop which is moved
by the railroad each year.
