noon. Arguments of counsel were
limited to thirty minutes to tin- si.io
by agreement. Attorney Fred 1. Sut
ton assisted Solicitor Powers ami the
firm of Shaw, Jones and Denton de
fended I he negro. .;
The case hinged on Lamm's identi
fication of his assailant. He was pos
itive that Penn was the man who shot
him. He testified that he met the
assailant on a street m LaGnuige
sometime after midnight on tile niglu
if the i-iiooling ami that be suspe.-te.l
him of some' crime anil asked him if
he had a pistol. The man aiis-.v.
no and lu, Lamm, drew his gun a. id
started to put biai under arre t. Tile
assailant, Lamm said, shot him twice.
Penn introduced two feliow ivorl
men who testified that they all three
slept in the same bed and that on the
night in question they rid i red before
nine o'clock. l'cnn told a si raight

doubt as to his being the man. A
story to this effect was carried ia

"Captain" Cooper, contractor in

Coun.se! for the defense movei
t
dismiss the ca.se when the State close !.
but the motiorwas overruled. Judgi
Bond made some raiher pointed iv
marks at that juncture, saying thi'
there was a question if Policenm
Lamm's own account of the difficul
ty was to be taken, whether the de
fendant was without-his rights even
if he was the man. "A policeman has
no right to stop a man on the streets
and arrest him without a warrant un
less he has reasonable ground to be
lieve he is guilty of a felony or has
committed a crime in his presence.
If the policeman stopped him as he
testified that he did, the man had a
right to use whatever force was nec
essary to defend himself," declared
the Judge.
The following cases were disposed
of Wednesday: Horace White, assault,
six month. ; G. G.- Parker, disposing
of moi l caged property, guilty, with

Tungsten in 1920
in Small Quantity;
Imports Considerable
(By the United Press)
Washington, April 11. Not since
I'.Mi'J has the United Slates produced
so small a quantity of tungsten us
in V.rH), according- to Frank L. Hess,
of the-United Slates Geological Sur
v.y. Two Colorado concerns were
the only American tungsten miners
in the year, and they produced the
equivalent of -If. short tons of fcr
berito ore carrying (iO per cent, of
tugusten trioxide.
Tungsten is most used for making
high speed tools for cutting steel, si
that the demand for tungsten ore
rises and falls with the steel busi
ness. In l'XIO the Steel business was
very dull arid the demand for tung
sten was correspondingly small. At
the same time, in spite of the small
demand, the imports were rather
large for peace, limes,, and consist
