they were forced to endure the mid
summer tria. That was not the
fault of the court, he stated, but
the fault of the grand jury. 1t is
imperative, under the law, to try the
case within 30 days after the in
diciments are returned.
District Attorney Heald then
thanked the jury followed by Utley,
one of the, counsel for Gillett.

formation considered authentic,
started Friday night after Judge
Finney had ordered the bailiff to
take the jury to the Barbara. Worth

One of the jurors baked, saying
he would not go until deliberations
had been completed. He was quot
ed as saying, ~ came here to hear
this case not to take a vacation.

Border Ruling
Rather Cloudy

across the line in Mexico and re
siding in the United States, was
somewhat doubtful today, accord
ing to border reports.
Effective this date, according to
recent ruling of the Mexican
government designed TO protect
Mexican common laborers. Ameri-
cans and other foreigners working
in Mexico would be required to live
in Mexico.
With this in mind upwards of 100
Americans engaged rooms in Mexi-
cali hotels last night, prepared to
comply with the law until such
time as their status is made clear.
Reports asserted that no workmen
We're prohibited from crossing this
morning as usual. and it is expected
the order viii be modified some
what.
According to the Mexican interpre-
tation Of the ruling, technicians :
are not included in the new law. The
definition Of "technieian seems TO
be somewhat in doubt. and prac-
tically all Americans, whether high
specialized men employed by the ir-
rigation district. the Colorado River
Land Company. or other industries
across the border. or card dealers,
bartenders and those employed in
amusement resorts, are laying claim
to the title "technician.

absent in the east and pending his
return it is not expected there will
be any wholesale exclusion of Amer
