STEVENS WORD ALONE.
Nobody, except Stevens who is
charged with this crime, and whose
record is blacker than ink, heard
Burl say he (Stevens) was not to
blame. He did not express any re-
gret to Burk, for he is not that kind
OF a man."
Prosecutor Upham drew a vivid
and horrible picture Of Burk laying
on the ground with his entraiis out,
dying and moaning in agony; and of
Stevens, shaking him viciously
while asking him to exonerate
him from all blame for the murder.
Stevens" snapped Upham, was
not as intoxicated as he endeavors to
make you believe. He drank to drive
out what little remorse there was left
in his heart. ] ask you if this is the
way an innocent man would act. No.
An innocent man does not need whis-
key to drive away remorse.

defense could have gone to Parkers-
burg, w. Va, and subpoenaed all the
witnesses they needed. They didn't
go to Millersburg and get character

on his evidence.
Attorney Pomerene said Stevens
only did what any other man would
have done under the same circum-

vens' story is told by himself to

THE story told by Stevens about
going for a rabbit after the quarrel
is absurd. No man would go to hum
rabbits when man was chasing him
with an axe. He told Piero he went
and got the gun and met Burk where
he left him. Now which story will
you believe?
"Burk never picked up the axe. My
theory is that Burk wanted to quit
