Racine. Wis, March 12.-The Rev.
David B. Cheney was subjected TO
cross examination by the defense in
the Corbett case. He was placed OIL
the stand and positively identified the
prisoner as the man who shot his wife
and himself on the morning Of Dee. 6.
Mrs. Cheney said she was positive
that the defendant was the man who
attacked her. Olive Harrison, a boy
who lives opposite the Cheneys, testi-
fed that on the day Of the shooting
he saw Corbett run out Of the Cheney
residence.
It has been decided that Corbett is
to go on the stand and tell his own
story. At first his attorneys feared
that he would break down under the
strain, his health being in such con
dition, but it was finally decided that
it would be for the best for the Dris-
oner to speak for himself.
