Buffalo, N. Z, Dec. 14.--John Ed
ward Teiper, on trial charged with the
murder of his mother, today told the
Jury his story of the double tragedy
in the Orchard Park read on the night
of Jan. 80. lie recounted t;se happen
ings of that night calmly and in
greater detail than they were given
in the statement he made to the dis
trict attorney two days after the
tragedy.
In his story today Teiper failed to
identify the assailans as a negro. I'm
portant among tho other details he
added were these:
He was certain that he had left the
headlight burning on his roa lister
when he lef:: it in The road at 5
O'Clock that Sunday afternoon and
that the lights were out when he re-
turned in his mothers car.
He denied that the hat taken from
under the arm of his dead brother
Frederick, was his hat He said that
a third hat, given to him at the MUIR
der scene, and which has since dis
| appeared, was his and that he wore it
| home.
He said that when the mysterious
assailant grabbed him by the throat
there was a protracted struggle in
which the two went to the pavement
at least once.
He said that when his mother gave
| him his birthday check for 500 he
| looked into her handbag and saw a
! large roll of bills.
After describing the trip to the
murder scene, Teiper's story as told
| today says that Frederick Teiper came
! back to where Edward was working
| on the roadster and said that he
I wanted to see that Ed started for
| home all right. Teiper then tried to
| light his trouble-lig,lt, he says. but it
would not work. Fred went forward

! tinues:
