The defense in the Bropby trial rested at 3:30 this afternoon and the state asked for ten minutes in which to prepare its rebuttal. James A.

Reschke, for whose mur- der James Brophy is on trial, played a lead role. John C. Reschke Jr., less than four years old, ran to his widow- ed mother, tugged at ber dress, and begged to be taken home. Tears vanished and were wiped away as a shiny nickel was pro- dueed and extended him by the hand of a third party. The hand was Brophy the state as Brophy's chief accuser. ‘According to Brophy's account of the altercation at 242 West Beech street on*August 19, in which John C. Resthke was slain, Reschke and Shay began shooting after a heated argument over the quality of the liquor which Reschke had con tracted to deliver to Shay.

What should be one of the best srid games on Casper's schedule will be p’ayed at the high scbool athletic field here Friday afternoon “when Coach Crawford of Laramie exhibits his title seekers.
