RICH WOMAN IS
AIDING LEEHAN' s
FIGHT FOR LIFE
Accused Mans Wife Tipped
Over Evidence That Led to
Arrest - Defense Charges
Conspiracy.

TOMS RIVER, y. J., Dec. 10
The swiftness Of Jersey justice" is
being exempIfied in the trial Of Will
lam Leehan, who is charged with the
murder Of Mrs. Caroline Turner. wife
OF an employe on the estate of Geo.
J. Gould, near Lakewood. three years
ago.
Among the first persons in the
court room was Mrs. Jasper Lynch,
a rich society woman. who is aiding
Leehan's tight. Seated at the counsel
table beside the three lawyers her
money had retained for Lehan. she
smiled confidently at the prisoner and
his wife.
II believe Leehan is an innocent
man" she declared. MY interest in
Leehan L consider a public duty. /
know his past; 1 know he is a drunk
ard But j don't believe this was a
crime. 1 believe it was a terrible
tragedy"
The contention Of the defense is
that Leehan IS the victim of a con-
spiracy and that Mrs. Turner was
killed by an automobile in which sew
eral wealthy men were riding and
that her body was hidden to cover
up the killing.
George Jameson. a private detec-
tive. who shadOwed the Leehans when
they were living in furnished rooms
in Yonkers, n. Y, testified he did not
know Of what crime the prisoner was
suspected of when he started the trail.
"On last Washington's birthday, "
swore the detective. 81 heard Mrs
Leehan fighting with her husband.
Finally Leehan went out and returned
half drunk. 1 was occupying the next
room and could Overhear what they
said. Leehan abused his wife violent
ly until presently she cried out:
Wife Accused Him
You're q devil out of hell; I'm
going back to Lakewood and show you
a hospital or kill me. But 1 wouldn' {
he the first one you killed
'Leehan slapped his wife and her
screams brought in neighbors who
quieted the couple"
Jameson told how he had cement
ed Leehan's friendship through a
bOuntiful suppl Of whisky.
"Leehan told me he wanted TO give
up whisky" said the sleuth. He said
he had gotten into lot Of trouble at
Lakewood two years before and every
time he thought Of it he had to get
drunk 10 drive il out OF his mind.
"A week later while we were walk
ing together Leehan suddenly said to
me: Pm "a curious fellow. I Just go
crazy over a woman. But take my
advice and never do anything while
you are with a woman you would be
sorry for all your life
Frequently Deehan told me he had
gotten into some kind Of trouble over
a woman, but he did not specify what
il was"
