Expect Decision
In ExtraditiOn
OF COOts Davis

Ernest r. Utley, who returned TO
El Centro from Los Angeles last
night, said today Federal Judge
Mccormick is expected TO hand
down q final decision on writ Of
habeaS corpus n the NJ. K. "Coots'
Davis case some time today.
Utley and NJ. w. Conkling. former
FL Centre attorney and superior
court judge, were associated in fed
eral court as defense counsel for
Davis.
1t is the contention of defense
attorneys that. since William Pres
ley was stabbed in Mexico but died
IN the United States, Davis can
not legally be tried in Mexico for
murder There cannot be murder
without a death, said Utley, and the
murder. if there was one. must be
where the death took place.
Judge Mccormick, said Utley,
seemed TO agree with this theory,
but did not feel he was in a position
TO interpret Mexican laws. He
promised decision today.
