The state endeM its case in rebuttal against A. J. Weston, accused killer f- Robert Kruy of Sisters, early this afternoon, and concluding arguments are be ing given this evening by the attor neys, with the certainty that Wes ton's future will be in the hands of the Jury before 12 o'clock tonight. The case In rebuttal was closed early this afternoon when the state intro duced witnesses to contradict the evi dence of the defense claiming an alibi, and to show that Weston is in the 'habit of wearing a vest. This last point is considered highly; important, the Sefense having sought1 to disprove testimony given by Joe Wilson relative to finding a note made payable to Krug in Weston's vest, by introducing evidence that the had defendant clothing. Mel Harrington mer Crogan, all ; no such article of Linn County Boys Have Hard Luck Albany, Nov. 20. Had ill fortune not overtaken the Shedd Shorthorn juvenile stock Judging team at the Tacific In ternational Livestock show the Linn county boys would have swept the field, said County Agent S. V. Smith upon his return from the exposition. Dellis Cor nut, one of the members of the team, was " o".ft vl upyenaicius after arriving In Portland and was un able to appear In the contests. His aver age score, added to that made by Clif ford Cornut and Harold Pugh, the other two members of the team, would have brought the Linn team's score to a mark far higher than that attained by . wum, iwui, win won me contest. Smith says. R. E. Cutler and Ho testified that Weston had a vest. George Aitken and Grace Aitken testified that Mrs. Libble Coombs had been in Sisters a few days after the fire and had told them that she was alone on the night when the murder is alleged to have taken place. Mrs. L. P. Wilson said that Mrs. Coombs had told her that she had retired early on , the evening of the fire and was awakened by the noise of a car passing. Mrs. Weston (Mrs. Coombs at the time of the alleged murder) had testi fied that she was with - Weston and j George Stilwell, one of the state's star' witnesses, at the Wilson mill near Sis ter, from 6 to 9:30 o'clock the night of the alleged murder. . The last step of the defense to es tablish an alibi was taken this morning when Weston took the stand in his own behalf. 4 Perfectly self-possessed, Weston- .de nied all statements pointing to his guilt which had been attributed to him by witnesses for the state.
