PLAUSIBLE STORY OF A woMANS DEATH
Attempts to Establish IL Cause for
Mrs. DuIin's Death Consistent
with the Theory of the
Prisoners Innocence.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Nov. 2S.-(Special
Telegram DIR. George Paul says Mrs. Dulin
died of epilepsy. Yesterday the defendant
in the murder case on trial in Judge
Weavers court was given chance to in
troduce evidence and number of WITNESSES
were examined today The defense under
took to establish the fact that Mrs, Dulin
died from epilepsy. and the evidence pre-
sented supported this contention. The pur-
pose was also outlined to show that James
Paul, the defendant was not al Mrs. Dulin's
house in the afternoon for any length of
time and that he had no opportunity after
that time to administer poison and he did
not give her any drugs or medicine of any
kind after Sunday afternoon. Numerous
witnesses were examined to show his where
abouts all of the time between Sunday after
noon and the time of Mrs. Dulin's death
Monday evening following DR.. George Paul,
the defendants father. who Is jointly in
dicted with him for the crime, was the prin-
cipal witness examined. He was deliberate
and guarded in his replies although he con-
tradicted himself on a few points and was
compelled to retract some statements in
order to make his testimony harmonious.
His admission that he might have told
Frank Daily that he had given his son
arsenic to poison rats after having
entered an emphatic denial of having told
him that he had given James strychnine
was a very clever escape from very tight
place.
Jim Paul has not been placed upon the
stand yet; he appears to be badly frightened
and the prediction is that he will confess
under the rigid examination he will have to
undergo The court room is filled TO over
flowing. His present wife sits with him and
endeavors to keep him calm. The case was
continued until Monday.
