much important evidence when the

Mr. Joyner said: "We know. and
the government does not know that it
was the defendant’s pistol which shot
his sister. " Counsel said': "The ilrm
of R. l. Fosburgh dz company had
many men in its employ. the payroll
amounting to some 36 000 weekly. The
men were nondliuglidh-spealting and
were paid in money at the office of the
company. Mr. Fosburgh Sn, would
take money from the habit to the office
in an electric car. The men know
this and because of the risk the chief
oi police had once remarked that 1
any men needed a pistol they (the
Fosburgbs) did. For this reason the
defendant got one.
“Mr.,-Foaburgh. the defendant and
his wife. occupied the kitchen bed

able odor from the sink and moved to
another room. leaving some wearing
apparel and a pistol in the buerau.
“Rubbery and revenge might have
been motives of the burglars. They
were young. active, slight men. also
they could net have gotten out of the
house through the opening left by too

“Th‘ defense intends to show that
the soled clothing. pillow cases. etc,
were thrown by the faintly into the
basket in the carriage‘ house.
“The theory of the defense is that
the crime was not the, performance of
skilled burners. that the stockings
which were worn and out were drawn
on over shoes to mums the sound of
steps; that the tracks been Were made
by the men when they left the house
and that they intended to steal any
