zOLL|NGER'SFR|END ON WITNESS STAND Perry Ford Tells of Inci- dents Before Death of
 Advertising Solicitor

Columbus, O., November 1s.-In a crowded courtroom, with hundreds of men and women struggling to hear the testi- many. the story of Alvin E. zollinger. an advertising solicitor. who was shot and killed in a city park on May IS, was told today by Perry M. Ford, a boyhood friend and manhood confidante of the victim, to the jury which Is trying Miss Cecilia Farley, state house stenogra- pher, for first degree murder for the shooting.
 So great was the crowd that men and women had to find standing room on man. tel tops and window sills.
 Tomorrow Miss Farley will take the stand to attempt to convince the jury that she did not shoot the man with whom she had been intimate for years, but that he was accidentally shot while the two were struggling for possession of a revolver.
 Ford told of how Zoilinger battled with himself as between his love for Miss Farley and what he knew was right.
 Ford related how at length Zollinger prevailed upon Miss Farley. a Catholic, to go to her priest, confess and be for given, and of how the priest introduced Jerome Quigley to Miss Farley in the hope that Quigley would so interest her that she would forget Zollinger.
 According to the evidence, Quigley then fell in love with the girl and she with him. Ford then told of how Zollinger became angry and of how he determined to break off the engagement between Quigley and Miss Farley. One day. after pleading to no avail with Miss Farley to give up Quigley, Zollinger rushed into Ford's store apparently temporarily in sane, and declared:
 You are liable to hear tell of three deaths before this day is over.
 Ford said he searched zolinger for 8 revolver. and finding none, held the an- gry lover in back room for about three hours until he cooled off.
