TEND TO PROVE TRUSKETTS
MIND WAS UNBALANCED
By Associated Press.


Independence, Kans., Mar. 25.-Most
of the testimony introduced by the de-
fense today in the Truskett trial seem
ed to have the end of proving that the
defendants mind was unbalanced, at
the time of the Neeley shooting. James
Veasey, of Bartlesville, said Truskeut
and Neely had trouble ever an oil
lease and the trouble seemed to af-
feet Truskett's mind. Another wit
ness told of strange muttering and
other queer actions on the part of the
defendant. Trusketts attorneys said
Truskett would take the stand in his
own defense either late today or Mon
day. They moved that the portion Of
the states opening address, referring
to the confession of the Neely killing
by Truskett, be stricken out. The
court sustained the motion.

charm of the evening.
The hall was decorated with college
