RIDERS’ ARGUMENT TODAY

Case May Close In Sick Room of One of the Jurors. Union City, Tenn., Jan. 5.—A1l have concluded their testimony in the night rider cases and the arguments began today. Just how long before the case of the eight defendants reach the jury is problematical. There are five attorneys on either side and not one is willing to let the case end without making an argument. The illness of Juror Rosson is causing the court and the attorneys considerable uneasiness. Should be become too ill to finish the case, a mistrial would result. Judge Jones declares that if necessary he will finish the case at the sick man’s bedside.
