In the opening session the Los An geles fighter spent much of his time backing away as Genaro play ed for an advantage, r The Calt fornian kept his left busy and earned th edge fcn this round. i The stocky Genaro' again open ed the second with, a rush and right and lefted La Barba to such an extent that thje round went to New Jersey. The third was an vpn ' break ' In !thn fourth La Barba slipped to the mat and the , New Jereeyite yelled their approv . al of the little easterner, but La Barba backing and jabbing, took the majority of points. Genarj came into the fifth with repeated jabs to La Barba's head, scoring in this way as they danced around the. ring and wrestled ' on the ropes. I . i- ; Magee was represented at the coroner's inquest by his attorney's R. 11. Hanna, former democratic candidate for the United States senate, and Fred Wilson, both of Albuquerque, but neither lawyer cross examined the witnesses. ' The departure of Magee to his home in Albuquerque' was singu larly marked by the absence j of demonstrations which were staged during his libel and contempt trials in 1923 and mi before Judge Leahy. When Magee was imprisoned here for a day and a night In July, 1924j by Leahy for contempt of court, there was con siderable agitation among his sup porters in East La Vegas and Jt is believed, only, the warnirg of na tional guard officers then in en campment' here, prevented troubte.
