DEATH URGED
FOR MASON IN
STATES PLEA
Alleged Jones SIayer'S Fate
to Rest With Jury
Today.
INSTRUCTIONS STARTED
Floyd MattiCe Gives Final
Argument. Requesting
Conviction.
BY JAMES A. CARVIN
Times stan Writer

NOBLESVILLE. Dec. With
closing arguments concluded at
1875 this morning, fate of William
H. Mason, charged with the murder
of Sergeant Lester Jones, Indian
apolis policeman. was to be in the
jury's hands early this afternoon
When Floyd Mattice, Marion
county chief deputy prosecutor,
concluded his arguments, Circuit
Judge Fred F. Hines sWore the
bailif and announced his instruc-
tions, requiring about forty-f1ve
minutes, would be started immedi-
ately after lunch.
The only thing to do is to put
to death this type of criminal be-
cause if they are sent to prison they
don't stay there, or the parole
board let's them out Mr. Mattice
told the jury, concluding with the
admonition to do your duty and
the citizens of Marion county will
be cOntented'
Mr.. Mattice cleverly injected INTO
his arguments information that
Betty Clark, common law wife Of
Mason, who testified in his behalf.
was the same Betty Clark who sew
eral years ago was sentenced for
stabbing Dick Miller, Times re-
porter, when both were riding in a
police car. The testimony had not
been introduced during the sub
mission of evidence.
Opinion Is Divided
Courtroom spectators are divided
in opinion regarding the outcome
and the length of time required for
the jury to reach it's verdict, which,
in case of a guilty finding, will re-
suit in Judge Hines pronouncing
the death sentence, mandatory in a
murder conviction arising from
commission of a robbery.
While belief is held by some that
only short time will be required
for the verdict, others predict that
hours of deliberation finally will
result in disagreement and
hung" jury. Few expressions of
belief in an acquittal are heard.
Principal reason for a possible
disagreement is that the jury will
hesitate to send a man to the cleo
trio chair when it has not been
proved he fired the fatal shot, al
though provisions of the Hartzell
act are definite in such cases and
the jurors agreed to the death pen
atty if justified, when examined for
duty
Attempt to Spread Guilt
In his argument yesterday, Mr..
Mattice declared the state could not
prove who fired the fatal shot, since
the bullet which killed Sergeant
Jones had not been found, although
three slugs were removed from his
body.
This declaration is regarded as an
attempt to spread the guilt Of the
five men under indictment equally
between them. Two confessed mem
bers of the gang, Fred Adams and
George SWartz, are serving life
sentences for the murder after
pleading guilty.
Harold Thompson is awaiting a
separate trial in circuit court here,
and Edward (Foggy) Dean is await
ing trial in Marion criminal court,
after declaring he would not plead
guilty and accept a life sentence.

of a nature which might well engage
our brainy people in thinking up
something which can be secured for
Missoula to improve the employment

&A&
Through the daily paper, we have
learned that a conference has been
had between our city council and the
management of Montana Power Co.,
at which time data was submitted by
Mr.. Kennedy, the engineer recently
engaged by the city council, upon the
value, state of repair, etc, of the pres
ent water system in Missoula.
If the reports are correct, according
to the statements made by the man
agement of Montana Power Co., they
consider the value of the present water
system far in excess of the estimate
made by this engineer. 1t would
seem that this is one case where age
has increased the value. 1t surely

We have in mind the two-inch main

fluid needed to keep its people and all
of the gardens from whiting COM

days.
Hardly is there a city in Montana,
or elsewhere, of the size of Missoula,
where there is such an abundance of
pure water, and where so much money
is being spent for water service, and
yet where its use has been restricted
to such degree as right here in our

stage presentation. repeats his bril-
liant performance in the picture.
