Guess and Cecil Crosby, charged with murder in the killing of two Mexican coilege boys here last June, was given to a District Court jury tonight following comple- tion of final arguments. ‘The jury began deliberations imme- diately, but had not reached a verdict at 9:30 pm. and was locked up for the night. Consideration of the case will be resumed tomorrow morning. The former officers are being tried for the murder of Manuel Garcia Gomez. Judge Asa Walden instructed the jury it should bring in a verdict of guilty of murder, guilty of first-degree homicide, or an ‘acquittal. County Attorney Shilling did not par- ticipate in the closing arguments. He has not had an active hand in th~ case since the jury sclection, having agreed to allow special attorneys rep- | resenting Gov. Murray to handle the | prosecution. |~ Guess, confessed slayer of Gomez and Emilio Rubio, testified today. The two | youths were accompanied by Salvador Cortez the night of the shooting and had stopped the automobile on a dark !street while en route home to Mexico |from St. Benedict’s College, Atchison, Kans. Guess was acquitted last Summer of | the slaying of Rubio, a cousin of the Mexican President. His testimony to- | day was the same given at the previous | trial. 'He declared he shot in self- defense after the youths displayed pis- | tols and acted suspiciously. Farmers Depend on Stores. | EAST LANSING, Mich.
