Hear DALLAS (AP)--The jury in Jack Ruby's murder trial waited today to begin deliberat- ing his fate, after an 11th-hour defence manoeuvre delayed the end of the historic case. Defence lawyers won permis- sion from Judgé "oe B. Brown fo call another witness today --after the trial officially ended y. In a dramatic scene, Ruby's lawyers told the judge that Dr. Frdeerick A. Gibbs of Chicago, an authority on epilepsy, 'is coming to Dallas" to testify. At almost the same instant, District Attorney Henry M. Wade said the state rested its ease. Chief Defence Counsel Mel- vin Belli and his assistant, Joe Tonahill, heatedly demanded that Dr. Gibbs be permitted to testify. After a lawyers' wran- gle in Brown's chambers, he gave permission. Earlier the judge had said "we'll go on un- til midnight, if necessary" to) complete testimony. | FACES CHAIR Ruby faces the electric chair for killing Lee Harvey Oswald Nov. 24. Oswald was the sus- pected assassin of president Kennedy. Ruby's lawyers contend he 'suffers from psychomotor epi- lepsy, and was legally insane when he killed Oswald. Belli said Dr. Gibbs is the world's leading authority on psychomotor epilepsy, variant, but "he felt that he didn't want to come into a courtroom and testify where adversary proce- dure is followed." Gibbs agreed Thursday to @s an independent wit- ness, the lawyer said. Several expert witnesses, tes- tifying for the state, said they Jur MD on Ruby.

The trial, which began Feb. 17, developed pretty much into a battle of psychiatrists. Those called by the prosecu- Ruby was legally sane when he killed Oswald. Those summoned by the defence gave the oppo- site opinion. This is the key question that women may start weighing to- day. The jurors, clearly, are tired.| For days, they have been con- centrated on complicated psy- chiatric testimony. Thursday, several were fighting to stay awake. Legal procedure, when testi- mony ends, calls for Brown to read the charge to the jury and) explain the law. For a conviction of murder| with malice, Ruby could get a suspended sentence, a term in prison ranging from two years to life, or death in the electric chair. Living Costs UpFor |.

WARNING Diplomatic sources in Ankara said the note addressed to Ma- karios warned that Turkey was not prepared to allow the pres- ent state of affairs to continue on the strife-torn island, (A. Cypris government spokesman in Athens, Greece, said his government would re- ject outright the Turkish note as "unacceptable" both for its content and wording.) As the note to Cyprus was delivered shots were heard in the Trakhonas suburb of Nico- sia but a government spokes- man said they were of no sige nificance and there were no sé- rious incidents anywhere on the island. Later it was disclosed that Turkish - Cypriots opened up with machine-guns and rifles for half an hour on four British soldiers in Trakhonas. A Brit- ish officer said the soldiers did not fire back and=no one was injured. Greek government and milit- ary leaders held urgent eonfer- ences at dawn today in Athens following thc' Turkish warning of intervention in Cyprus. It was reliably learned that Greek naval units were ordered \to begin "manoeuvres" between Crete and the Dodecanese Is- lands as they did when the Cyp- rus crists reached a flashpoint two weeks ago. RECEIVES AMBASSADORS Foreign Minister Stavros Kos- topoulos of Greece separately received the British and U.S, ambassadors, Sir Ralph Murray and Henry Labouisse. He told them the Turkish: wrning coupled with reported Turkish naval movements. had caused "serious anxiety" in Athens. The Greek foreign minister told reportess he summoned Turkish Envoy Nedim Veysel likin and told him "no Greek government would ever accept a unilateral Turkish interven- tion in Cyprus without adequate Greek reaction." Istanbul police broke up the first student demonstration in the Turkish metropolis over Cyprus since the start of the fighting in December. The stu+ dents urgel their government to intervene to halt the '"'massae cre" of the Turkish-Cypriot mie nority and accused the United Nations of dawdling.
