WESTON CASE IS
Ml FOR JURY
Closing Arguments Being Made
Following Rebuttal Contra-'
dieting Defense's Alibi.
Bend, Or. Nov. 20. 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

clothing.

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.
