The State of Ohio rested its case
at noon today in the trial of George
4. Hammer for second degree murder
and this afternoon the defense COM
menced its direct examination. The
state examined about fifteen Witness
es in all and has left that same num-
Der who will probably be called in re-
buttal.
The defense will call, altogether,
about thirty witnesses. many of them
being witnesses for the state. These
we're passed with only superficial
ross-examinations by counsel for the
defense who expect to prove the
self defense theory of the defense
when they are brought on the stand
in direct examination.
During the states inning it has
been brought out that Roy Cubbison
came to his death by knife wound
on the left side of the neck, in
flicted by George T. Hammer on June
l3, 1909 in front of the Colonial Bill
lizard parlors on North Main street.
Witnesses differ as to some particu-
lars, especially The actions of Cubbl-
son and Hammer just preceding the
cutting. 1t was shown by witnesses
that Hammer while being cursed by
Cubbison walked away several feet
and then turning, stepped back to.
ward Cubbison and slashed him with
the knife, long bladed instrument
which was introduced in evidence by
Prosecutor Justice. The defense
claims that Hammer by walking away
from Cubbison when heing called {
coward and other names unfit fol
publication or even utterance in {
court room where women were seat
ed, showed that he did not want u
quarrel or have any trouble. The de
tense also maintaines and expects t
prove that Hammer only turned
around when Cubbison was advancin,
toward him and that he used th
knife in self defense. The state hat
laid considerable stress on the fac
that Hammer Is larger and heavie
man than Cubbison.
Charles Bennett, brought here b,
the state to testify in tn
ease against Hammer, got into troubl
while on the stand. Asked concern

Several times when witnesses were
asked to give the language uttered
by Cubbisou 10 beratng Hammer be-
fore the cutting, the women in the
room werc asked to leave tempor-
arily. This morning when this oc-
CURED q Mrs. Stevens who accom-
panied Mrs. cubDison. mother of the
dead man, also took her 22-year-old
son along out Of the room, refusing
to haya him stay there and listen to
the oaths that Cubblson was known
to have uttered.
Just before closing its case the
state put Mrs. Cubbison on the stand.
Heavily yeiled the mother of the
dead, was sworn and testified in
clear voice. She said that her son Roy
Cubbison was "a years old on June
8, five days before he was killed.
DR.. w. II. Hinklin, coroner, was
called to the stand. The coroner de-
scribed the wound in Cubbison's neck
as being three and one-haf inches
long and one-half inch deep. 1t was
necessarily fatal, death being caused
by. blood clots that formed in the
arteries Of the brain and by loss of
blood as well. This testimony was
corroborated by Drs. A Rhu and J.
B. Taylor who performed the post
'mortem examination on Cubbison's S
body. DR.. James Wilson McMurray,
who arrived on the scene soon after
Cubbison fell and attended him at
the Central Emergency hospital said
that the would was necessarily fatal
He told what he knew or the occur
rance and of the attention given to
Cubbison.
DR.. Hinklin said that in the post
mortem 1t was found that there were
brain and q granulation was evident
there. He admitted, in cross-examina-
tion that these were probably caused
by alcoholism which might eventually
resulted in extreme nervousness and
even in insanity.
The testimony introduced by the
defense this afternoon tended to show
kthat Cubbison and not Hammer was
1.-The aggressor to the trouble that oc.
cured previous to the stabbing and
even at the climax when the tragedy
occurred
1t Is expected that the defendant
will be able to conclude its case some
time tomorrow when the state vii
put number of witnesses on in re-
buttal. Judge Babst is anxious tt
complete the case before Saturda,
