Purely Negative
From a staff cOrrsspOndent.l

LINCOLN. May 2-(spccial THE jury
being procured. the trial OF the case Of
the state against Charles Morley. ae-
cused OF the murder OF Warden Della
hunty at the penitenuAry was started
today. The opening statements OF the
attorneys developed that the state will
try TO prove that the plan TO escape was
arranged between Morley. Dowd and
Gray on the afternoon before and that at
that time Gray gave Morley a gun and
thirteen cartridges and that Morley de-
manded one more or he would not 60
being afraid Of the fatetul thirteen. The
state viii also attempt to prove that all
three fired practically simultaneously
when Delahunty was killed.
The outline Of IN edefense was purely a
negative one. taking the ground that tho
state must prove its allegations beyons
q reasonable doubt and asserting II could
not prove the allegation In the lndlct-
ment. that the shot which killed Della
hunty was fired by the defendant. which
II asserts the state must do to make a
case.
The first witness called was Deputy
Sheriff Ekenberry. a former guard at
the prison and who participated In the
chase for the convicts. He was called
TO tell Of a conversation he had with the
defendant. but was not permitted to do
70. Frank L. Henry. the convict librarian
was In the chapel at the time Of the
break for liberty. He detailed the
events. but brought out nothing new.
John Thomas, also convict, was called.
His testimony was along the same lines
and contained nothing not heretofore
made public concerning the affair. Mrs.
Rsmesy. the mother Of the defendant.
was visibly asitated during the testimony.
but the defendant himself was perfectly
cool. but at the same time alert and took
notice Of all the testimony.
