DEFENSE
OPENED,

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 9o--The prosecu-
ton today closed its case in the trial
OF Mrs. Catherine Bechtel accused as an
accessory after the fact OF the murder
OF her daughter. Mabel.
The last witness for the commonwealth
Bechtel home on the day Mabels body
was found. HIS testimony was un-
important. Counsel for the defendant
asked that the bills of indictment be
dismissed on the ground OF lack OF evil
dence.
In answer to the motion District At
torney Lichtenwalner stated that while
the common wealth's case rested entirely
upon circumstantial evidence It was of
sufficient strength TO warrant the placing
of the indictments before jury.
THE theory of the commonwealth"
said Mr.. Achtenwalner, lis that Thomas
Bechtel was the principal felon. We be-
lieve that he committed thecrime and
after its commission was shielded by
Mrs Catherine Bechtel. In support Of
this theory the strongest evidence is the
suicide Of Thomas Beehtel in prison
cell and the testimony CT many other
witnesses who have testified"
Attorney Schaadt. in opening, said: I'VE
will prove TO you that the stains when
two inexperienced doctors declare TO be
human blood stains were nothing more
than stains produced by tobacco. We
will show to you pillow cases, pieces OF
linen and other fabrics, upon which,
With ma day or two, tobacco stains have
been made. and we Will ask you 10 com
pare them with the stains shown on the
bolster case by the commonwealth.
I'VE Will further prove 70 you that the
lather's hatchet, which the state pro-
duced as the weapon with which Mabel
Bechtei was killed, had been broken In
mill last summer, and, more than that,
we will prove to you beyond all doubt
that Mabel Bechtel was seen aliye on
Monday, the day before her death. The
members OF this afflicted family will go
upon the witness stand and tell you
frankly and freely Of the occurrences
In their home on Sunday. Monday and
Tuesday, from oct. 25 to 81 This old
and gray-haired defendant will so upon
the stand and tell you all that she knows
about her daughters violent death, and
then, gentlemen. you can Judge for your
selves IL the woman is the fend she has
been painted or merely n kind. old moth
erly woman"

sion OF the supreme court In a rescrlpt
