INTENTIONAL,
DEFENSE SAYS
West Makes Vigorous
Plea For Penitent-
iary Sent In
Cantu Trial

Jesus Cantu, former special Of
ficer at San Benito was declared
not guilty Of the murder of Emilio
Vega by a jury in the criminal dis
trict court Wednesday afternoon.
Cantu'S case went to trial We'd
nesday morning and the jury re-
turned its verdict at 4:30 p. m.
According TO the testimony in
the case, Vega was standing in the
door of dance hall near San Ben
ito with ..ome 25 or 80 other by
ISLANDERS. Cantu came up and or
dered the crowd TO get away from
the door. Vega was the last 70
move and Cantu showed him
through the door and shot him, ac-
cording to two eye witnesses.
Cantu's counsel based its defense
on Cantu's statement that some
one jostled him and set the gun
off, and that he did not intend
to shoot Vega.
Assistant District Attorney Mil
ton West made a vigorous plea for
a penitentiary sentence, declaring
that Cantu had killed Vega with

head"

officers attended the trial.
