He died last night at his home in Arieta. five years after he had left minute instruc tions with 5 his attorney, George W. Joseph, as to the disposal of his body.

She was held by the state to tell of the trouble between Parker and his father-in-law, Porter, but the defense objected successfully. With more than 100 wit nesses yet to testify u fifth one was called at noon. The most important evidence yet ad duced was by the widow of the mur dered man, who told of the way Porter tried to run away from Parker after tk latter had commenced to fire with six feet between them. : ; ,4 Jess Parker killed his father-in-law near Elgin two months ago The men met and quarreled near the home of Parker.
