Bowles, charged with the first degree mur der of Bowles' wife, Mrs. Leone C. Bowles. Arguments on the motions oc cupied the entire day in court. and at the conclusion. Judge Hag- ley declared that my present conviction Is that this case should go to the jury." ONLY TEMPORARY Judge Bagley indicated, how ever, that the motions were over ruled only temporarily, and that he would reserve the right to change his mind later, after bear Ing evidence presented by the de fense. A similar ruling was mad by Judge Bagley yesterday, when he postponed arguments on tha motions in order to give Dr. Frank R. Henna a chance' to testify. i i The defense, la arguing for the directed verdict oa behalf ot Its clients, declared that tha state had presented no evidence that a crime had been committed.

Bowles to kill anyone. As for Miss Loucks, she wouldn't kill a chicken." "The one place in tho world where the death of Leone Bowles was certain to direct suspicion toward these two defendants was In the apartment of Miss Loucks" McCamant continued. "They had no opportunity to commit such a crime and get away with It, in the language ot the street." McCamant further stated that the state, far from proving Miss Loucks and Bowles guilty of mur dering Mrs. Bowles, had present ed testimony which aCfirmately proved their Innocence. CIRCUMSTANCES SEEJf The blood found on Mrs. Bowles' rich hand, the nature of the wound, the calling of Dr. Paul B. Cooper, and the testi mony of the two defendants -all indicated that Mrs. Bowles bad taken her own lite, the defense attorney declared. Deputy District Attorney Geo. Mowry. in presenting reasons why the case should be given to the Jury to decide, said that cir cumstantial evidence is divided Into three parts motive, oppor tunity and Incriminating circum stances. He declared that the state had presented evidences ot all three. In discussing the motive theory Mowry discussed the troubles between Mr. and Mrs. Bowles, which were caused by the fact that Bowles assertedly wished to marry Miss Loucks but could not do so unless "his wife got a di vorce or died."
