She described the condition of beth
men as greatly intoxicated, with a
difference however. She said she did
not know what Guertler looked like
when he was sober, for that was the
only time she had ever seen him; but
on the fateful night she said, through
the interpreter, that he had IAN angry,
wild face. that caused her to greatly
fear him; that his degree of intoxica-
ton seemed to be halfway between
reasoning power and absolute drunk
enness She said Marshall also was
full of liquor. hut full of lifemore

Opening addresses, outlining the
case they expect to present to the
jury, were made this morning by both
City and County Attorney Catheart
for the prosecution, and by Attorney
Frank E. Thomas, for the defense.
Reviewing the story as the prosecu.
tion has it, County Attorney Cathcart
said he would endeaVor to show by
testimony that when Marshall left the
hula house the first time he was pur.
sued by members of Guertler's party
and that he cursed them and vowed
he would kill them; that when he re-
turned and entered the hall the party
came toward him, and before any
words were spoken he drew the re
vclver and shot Guertler.
Attorney Thompson said the defense
would seek to show that when Mar
shall was chased from the hula house
Guertler pursued him and shouted:
Take off your glasses! ] can't hit /
you when you are wearing themi
and that he did strike at Marshall as
the latter jumped upon the running
board of the moving automobile in
which he escaped. Thompson said the
defense would further endeavor to
prove that on Marshall's return TO get
his friend Guertler exclaimed: What!
You back here again." and then in the
rush toward Marshal had shouted I
Hold on, boys, let me put him out,
and again, at Marshall: Marshall,
I'll kill you, I'll murder YOU On this
showing Attorney Thompson said the
defense would ask the jury to return
a verdict of acquittal.

hearing this morning. Conspicuous

sister, who has come from Pennsyl-
yania to give her brother her aid and
and a woman friend of the
family They were the only women
in the room, and sat inside the rail at
some little distance from the prisoner,
