MURDER TALE
TO A PSYCHIC
Detective Giving Damaging
Testimony Against q New
Jersey Farmer
DEFENSE OPENS WITH
PLEA FOR AN ALIBI

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
MAYS LANDING. N. j., March %
With one of the strongest prosecu-
tions on circumstantial evidence ever
presented here. the State rested it's
case against William H. Strong, the
aged Nesco farmer, accused of wife
murder, shortly after IL o'clock to-
day.
In mis- opening address for the de-
Tense, ex-Judge John Westcott out
lined an alibi for the accused, and said
the suspicious statements made to the
psychic medium would be fully ex-
planned through the unusual inhu-
enee she welded over him. No IN
timation was made Of an attempt to
prove insanity, though Westcott said
weak mentality of the defendant
would be evident. explaining his APP
parent faith in supernatural powers
Of mediums whom he had consulted
theory that the murdered woman
UilEui nave bttu dHNdulitu ng a
stranger and afterward killed.
Confession OF the Accused.
County Detective William Baitzell,
who was hidden behind a thin parti-
tion in the parlors of Madame Gerard,
the psychic medium, on the Atlantic
City boardwalk, today took the stand
when the murder trial was resumed.
He corroborated the clairvoyant's
testimony, which yesterday created a
sensation IN court when she narrated
the confession the accused farmer is
alleged to have made to her
The detective testified that when
he arrested Strong an election day,
he declared: II know why you ar
rest me: that woman on the board
walk told you"
The prosecution, to show that
Surong's guilty conscience led him to
make indiscreet remarks, placed a
number of witnesses on the stand
with whom he had conversed after
seeing the medium.
George ~ Caswell, with whom
Strong left his wagon when he went
TO Atlantic City said that on his re-
turn Strong told him.
she told me something / dare not
tell anyone. Not even the detectives
/ didn't do It., though. II they want
to find out any more they can do 1t
themselves"
Detective Frank p Guyer. Of Phila-
delphia was then placed on the stand
and testified as to his investigation
covering practically the same grounds
as Baitzell. Guyer was present at
the alleged confession made to the
boardwalk medium.
