TWO THEORIES
ADVANCED FOR
TURNER MURDER
Pretty Stenographer Was
Either Killed in Auto Ac-
cident, or Was Murdered
by Persons in an Auto
mobile, According to the
Claim of the Defense.
BY AssoC1ATEp PRESS.

Toms River, n. j., Dec. 19.-Mrs.
Caroline Turner, for whose murder Jo-
seph ATorairity, alias William =. Lee
han, a stenographer, is on trial here,
was either killed in an automobile
accident or murdered by persons in an
automobile, according to the theory of
the defense outlined at the trial this
afternoon.
H. II. Wainwright Of the prisoners
counsel retained by Mrs. Jasper Lynch,
a society woman of Lakewood. made
the opening address to the jury. The
defense would prove. he said, that the
victim had been seen In an autonaa<
bile at a time after the murder was
supposed to have been committed. This
car, he added, had run into a tree.
He did not make clear whether the
defense would seek to show that this
crash resulted in Mrs. Turner'S death
or whether she was murdered and the
body taken TO the clump of pine trees,
where IL was found.
Interest in the Moriarity murder
trial increased today as time ap-
preached for the defense to reveal its
theory. The fact that the prisoner,
Joseph A1oriarity, alias William J.
Leehan. has tho aid of a prominent
Lakewood family supported the rumor
that the attorneys retained by his
wealthy hackers would present some
unexpected evidence to prove that he
had no part in the killing of Mrs. Car
oline G.. Turner.
Mrs. Jasper Lynch, of Lakewood,
taking personal charge of the defense,
said her only motive was to save an
innocent man who. she believed was
the victim of a conspiracy. Today
she declared that she was not re-
sponsible for the report that Mrs. Tur-
ner was run down and killed by a
party Of wealthy autonaobilists who
carried the body into the brush and
then permitted suspicion to rest upon
Moriarity.
There is conflicting evidence as to
the cause Of Mrs. Turner's death. The
body was found with the face half
buried in sand. and wounds on the
face and head might have been caused
by blows Of heavy club. Death, it
is contended. might have resulted
either from the blows or from suffo-
cation.
The state rested this afternoon with
the testimony of George Jarnison, a de-
tective, who told OF getting the pris-
oner's confidence. The defendant, he
swore and said to him at one time:
Don't get mixed up with a woman
You never can tell what you would do
in a ff1 OF temper"
On cross examination, the witness
admitted that the prisoner had never
made any direct reference to the case
of Mrs. Turner. While shadowing the
prisoner. Jamison testified, he over
heard him quaTreling with his wife.
