HORTON WEEPS While
HIS SISTER TESTIFIES
Opening of the Defence in the
Murder Trial.
Testimony Adduted to Show the Ac.
cused of Weak Mind.
The Eligibility Of Lieutenant Kelly
as u Witness Sustained-The
Days Proceedings.

The opening of the defence in the trial
of George W Horton, who is charged in
Criminal Court NJ. l with the murder
OF Mrs. Jane Nicholson, on June "A last,
brought with il great change in the ma
ture OF the testimony from that adduced
by the witnesses for the Government. The
blood curdling tales of butchery told by
the witnesses on Thursday were changed
yesterday to a story of sympathy OF heart
and kindness on the part OF the defend
ant. Once during the latter part OF the
day while the accused's sister was recit
ing the story of his kindness and consid
Grafton for his pet animals, the defendant
wept, as did his wife. who was sitting
near him.
This was the only evidence that Hor-
ton gave during the whole day, or. in fact.
since his trial began. that he was cog
infant OF what was going on about him.
Except on the occasion referred to, Hor
ton sat with his gaze fixed on the CELL
ing with a kind OF vacant stare.
When the Assistant District Attorney
announced that the Governments case
in chief was closed Horizons attor-
ney stated to the Jury briefly that
the defence would be insanity. and
show that the defendant was not re-
sponsble for the deed he committe on sc-
count Of his mental condition at the time.
When the proceedings commenced the
question of the eligibility of several
witnesses who We're. objected to by
the defence Thursday was precipitated
by the offer OF Lieutenant Kelly, Of
the Metropolitan police force. to tes
tify. The defence again objected but the
nt,t lad ks,f 81 and
an exception was taken.
The eligibility OF Lieutenant Kelly as
witness was disputed because his name
and proper address had not been furnished
the defence. within the time prescribed by
law. Ii was developed that at the time.
the defence was furnished with the name
of the witness, Lieutenant Kelly resided
at 81 G Street northwest but a few days
before the trial began, had moved TO 1881
North Capitol Street.
In disposing Of the matter Justice Cla-
baugh stated that the position assumed by
the defence was untenable, especially as
II was not claimed that any effort had been
made to locate the witness. The court also
called attention to the fact that the wit
ness had been designated on the notice fur
nished as m. p which was generally
understood to mean Metropolitan Police
force
The Government called only two wit
nesses today. and then Assistant District
Attorney Shillington announced that the
prosecutions case closed. The counsel for
the defence made brief statement as TO
the line of defence. II was simply that the
defendant was insane and was wholly VI
accountable for his acts.
Lieut.. John +. Kelly. when called to
testify, said: Il am connected with the
