evening after having been out since
4:50. The court r<x>m wns crowded
nt the time despite the lateness of
the hour many spectators who had
formed n part of the capacity crowd
•which listened to the arguments in
tiie afternoon hav : ng waited in hopes
of bearing the verdict. Among those
particularly interested in the case
were the mother of Moran. the dead
man; the father of Arredondo and
other of his relatives and Teresa
Soler a striking beauty who was
engaged to Moran.
Stunned By Verdict.
The verdict of the jury seemed to
stun Arredondo who alf along bad
seemed cheerful and to feel little ap-
prehension regarding the outcome of
the trial. All during the taking of
testimony and even during the argu-
ments Wednesday afternoon when the
district attorney time and again
branded him ns a murderer Arredondo
sat unmoved for the most part oc-
cupying himself with sticking holes in
a newspaper with a nail file. When
the district attorney concluded his
talk and the jury filed out however.
Arredondo showed the first aigns of
trepidation. •
“Where are they going now?" he
asked his attorney E. B. Simmons
evidently having thought that the
jury would return its verdict with-
out leaving the box. . A’ the clerk

be wax facing the stern mandate of
the law. He alowly shook hia head
from aide to Hide an if in client pro-
test against the verdict. Even when
Deputy Sheriff Charles Peters led the
iui.ii out of the courtroom for his re-
turn to jail where he has been since
the shooting he continued to bow his
head.
His nged father who sat just be-
hind him also seemed overcome by
the fate which had been meted out
to his son and his shoulders could

bore up proudly under the ordeal.
A slight murmur whether of approval
or disapproval could not be determin-
ed swept the courtroom as the ver-
dict was read but the demonstration
was quickly stilled by Deputy Teters.
Moran’s Sweetheart Smiles.
Sitting in the front row among the
spectators was Teresa Soler sweet-
heart of Moran and who wns to have
been his bride. Jt was she whom
Moran had brought to the dance on
the night of the fatal shooting and in
whose arms the'former prize fighter
died. As the verdict which would
punish Arredondo for the crime was
read. Miss Soler let the ghost of a
smile flicker across her face quick-
ly checking it however when she
witnessed the wretchedness of the
defendant aiid his family.
Taking of testimony in the case
was concluded shortly after 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon when the de-
fense put on its last witness. K. B.
Simmons attorney for Arredondo an-
nounced that the defense rested and
District Attorney D„ A. McAskill in-
formed the court that the state bad
no rebuttal testimony to offer. Both
sides evidently were conserving their
heavy fire for the trial of Joe
Arredondo on Monday and were loath
to “show their bands.”
The charge of the court was read
to tbe jury and Assistant District At-
torney W. S. Anthony opened for
the state. He was followed bv Mr.
Simmons for the defense and District
Attorney Me As! ill closed for the
state.
Virtually al! witnesses used or sum-
moned in the Martirt Arredondo case
were ordered to appear Monday for
the trial of Joe Arredondo.

documents in the controversy between
bituminous mine operators nnd the

miners than needed and keeping a
