Case of Carver Goes to Jury in Murder Trial
The case of the state against William M. Carver went to the jury at 4 20 o clock last evening. Closing arguments were heard yesterday in district court. The defense argued Carver should be sentenced as a murderer or freed in self defense. Prosecutor Frank Stephan urged the jury to disbelieve Carver’s account of Bilbea’s tracks and to view the shooting as unlawful. Chapman and Bothwell emphasized fairness and questioned motive behind influential counsel while defending Carver as an ordinary man acting to protect his name.
