COLUMBUS. Neb., Jan. 7.-(Special Tcle-
gram.)-The Borchers murder trial pro-
crossed rapidly today. the defense occupy
ing only three hours in presenting all its
evidence. When court adjourned tonight
the opening argument had been made and
the case will go 90 the jury about noon
tomorrow. The defense offered no evidence
to disprove the killing, its only contention
being that the boy. owing to the conditions
OF his birth. home life and age. was rot
morally and legally responsible for his act.
The maternal grandfather testified that
he is an iilegitimate child. the mother
having been born In Germany, the father
deserving the mother, and that August, less
than two years younger, was also the IL
legitimate child OF another man. She came
to this country when August was II months
old and married Gerhard Borchers when
she had known him less than a week.
Expert testimony was given later to the
effect that the conditions of birth probably
gave the boys a criminal predisposition.
