ATTORNEYs, PLEAS


PHOENIX, Dec. S.--[P-The case of
d. G. Lane, charged with the murder
of DIR. John Franklin Reed, Phoenix
jeweler and optician, last July II, was
given to the jury in Marieopa county
superior court late today after oppos-
ing counsel had painted strikingly dis
similar pictures of the defendant all
morning and most of the afternoon.
Judge M. T. Phelps, of the criminal
division of superior court, who heard
the case, gave his Instructions. to the
jury after the closing argument for the
state by Arthur T. LaPrade, county
attorney, and the IL men withdrew to
the jury room at sos o'clock for their
deliberations. Judge Phelps gave the
usual Instructions relative to a ver-
dict, and pointed out that there was
the law of self defense, which gave a
person the right to kill if he must do
so to save his own life. He also said
the jury should keep in mind whether
Lane had reason to be provoked be-
cause of Reeds admitted intimacy with
Mrs. Lane.
Charles A. Carsons Jr., assistant
county attorney, opening the argument

that Reed was killed, like. a. rat. in a
trap and not given the chance of a
yellow dog He added, to support the
contention of the state, that Reed was
lured to his death by telephone call
from Mrs. Lane; that the latter did
not evidence any unusual excitement
when her husband shot the jeweler.
Quoting the Biblical story of Simeon
and Levi, L. NJ. Laney, of defense
counsel, sought to show that Lane had
justification for opening fire on Reed
simeon and Levi hunted down and
killed the man who disgraced their
sister, and their Maker guided them
safely to Bethel when the brothers ex-
claimed, We killed the man because
he made harlot of our sister" Laney
told the jury.
Carson declared that Lanes plea of
self defense was an after thought.
Though much stress was laid in the
closing arguments of Laney and
Thomas J. Croaff of the defense on
Reeds alleged wreclxing of the Lane
home and seduction of Mrs. Lane
through his repeatedl attention, the
principal emphasis was placed on
Lanes plea of self defense. Herein
the state and the defense found a
point over which to wrangle through

out the trial, which began week ago
yesterday.
The defense claiE:-d that Lane re-
turned home from town TO mis- auto
mobile camp cottage to find Mrs. Lane
in Reeds arms. Thereupon, according
to Lanes testimony on the stand, Reed
started an alteration, striking Lane
first, the latter resorting to the use of
his revolver to save his life. The de-
fendant testified that Reed threatened
his life with q chair.
The state, on the other hand, con-
tended that through telephone call
made by Mrs. Lane TO the Reed store
on the afternoon of July II, Reed was
trapped in the Lane cottage, and that
Lane shot Reed down as the latter en-
tered the house. The defense admitted
the telephone call, but contended that
Mrs Lane asked Reed to come to see
her only because she wanted to get
work. Lane himself was out of job.
Mrs. Reed had worked in Reeds store,
both here and in Miami.
Evidence adduced by the state dur
ing the trial was intended to show
that Mrs. Lane had given Reed her
unreserved affection, but had also had
intimate relations with other men in
the absence of her husband. The de-
fense countered with the assertion that
Mrs Lane had confessed her faithless-
ness to her husband, had been forgiven
and had yielded to Reeds alleged il
licit advances only because of his per-
sistency.
Lane fired four bullets into Reed,
from which the jeweler died the fol-
lowing day at a Phoenix hospital In
an ante-mortem statement, Reed de-
clared that he had been trapped" in
the Lane home and deliberately shot
by Lane. This statement was admitted
as evidence in the trial after a warm
fight between opposing counsel Judge
Phelps also ruled as admissible, a
statement Lane was purported to have
made to Harry Johnson, deputy county
attorney, in the presence of witnesses
at the local police station on the eve
ming of the day the Staying took place
to the effect that he had shot Reed
without the provocation of being at
tackled.
This evidence, given by Johnson and
others on direct examination by the
state was in contradiction to that pre-
sented by the defense that Lane shot
in self defense.
The day after Reeds death, cor
oner's jury found that he came to his
death through wounds inflicted by
Lane, and the county attorneys Of
flee the same day lodged a charge of
murder against Lane.

count SALM IN
COURT, FORCETS
WEDDING DATE

NEW YORK, Dec. 8 R.-Count
Ludwig Salm Hoogstraeten couldn't
remember the date of his marriage
to Millicent Rogers, Standard Oil
heiress, when he took, the stand in
his separation action today but he
told IN detail of financial benefits
which derived to him from the cere-
mony.
Under rattling fire of personal
questions by counsel for his wife,
the count told how a penniless noble
man, who married an American
heiress, could maintain himself in
ease without work, even after his
wife abandoned him.
Several times during the ordeal
the count, dashing figure in for
NAL attire, completely lost his COM
posure and he ana the opposing
attorney shouted at each other as
if physical conflict were the only
possible sequel.
The high point of the days ses-
sion was reached with the introduce
tion of three long LISTERS from the
countess to her mother-in-law, in
which she repeatedly expressed her
love for the count and the hope
that her expected child would serve
as an agent of peace between her
husband and her father, Henry H.
Rogers, who withheld his approval
of the match.
Soon after Count Salm went on
the stand, Albert Conway, counsel
for the countess, asked him when
he was married. The count seemed
-hazy on the subject and Conway
appealed to the judge to silence
alleged coaching" by plaitniff coun-
sci. An argument ensued, which
seemed likely to embroil all con-
cerned in the case.
