In the Behrens murder trial at
Davenport yesterday the defense
attempted by the Introduction of o
number Of witnesses to strengthen
its claim that Claus Behrens COM
mitted suicide, and that he took
Paris green to do the job. A. Meis-
ner. q druggist. whose place of bust
ness Is three blocks from the Behr-
ems home, WAS called to the stand by
the defense. The idea was to show
that Behrens bought the fatal dose
at that store. Mr.. Meisner was
asked II he kept register of persons
purchasing poison at his store. The
state objected, contending that the
question was immaterial. The court
sustained the objection. The de-
tense claims that traces of the green
poison were left on the washstsnd in
Behrens' death chamber, and had
witnesses there to support the claim.
