WILL
TAKE STAND TODAY

Columbus, o., November 13.-Cscella
Farley, the stenographer in a state office,
who is on trial charged with first degree
murder for the killing of Alvin Il. Zol-
linger, am advertising solicitor, in city
park last May, probably will take the wit
ness stand late tomorrow
Her attorneys spent much of today in
attempting to diseredit the confession ~
the murder she made soon after Ter
arrest
The defense now contends that The
shooting was accidental, and that it hap
pened while zollinger and the stenog-
rapher were struggling for possession of
the revolver, after the advertising solicit
tor had taken it from Miss Farley and
said:
We might as Well end it all now"
He had been attempting to dissuade the
girl from marrying Jerome Quiglsy, a
hotel clerk, who at the time was advanc-
Ing towards the couple.
The state asserts the girl had bought
the revolver and that she shot zolinger
to keep him from telling her sweetheart of
her past life and her relations with zol-
linger
Quigey and Miss Farley will be brought
face to face tomorrow when he takes the
witness stand.
