ception of Madge Robinson, in whose

sci, assured the court his case would
be short, and closing arguments were

HILLSBoRo, Greg, March 27.-De-
tense attorneys rested in final arguments
today their hope of clearing Nelson c.
Bowles, Portland capitalist, and his
former secretary, Irma c. Loucks, OF
the fatal stabbing of Mrs. Bowles.
William G, Hare, attorney for Bowles,
and Wallace McCamant, representative
of Irma @. Loucks, sought to convince
the jury serious faults existed in the
circumstantia1 murder evidence pre-
sented by the State.
District Attorney Lotus L. Langley
and two defense attorneys, W. Lair
Thompson and John A. Collier, were
heard yesterday.
Langley advanced the theory Miss
Loucks held the young and prominent
matron while Bowles plunged bread
knife into her breast in Miss Loucks'
apartment last November IL as the cli-
max of q love affair.
Thompson, a nephew of Bowles,
brought tears to the eyes of relatives of
the defendants in a tWo-hour argument.
