TESTIMONY FAVORS DEFENSE
keet Case Witness Disappoints the
Prosecution.

Marshfeld, Mo-, Oct. 1.-THE first
important testimony in the trial of
Claude J. Piersol, charged with kid
mapping Baby Lloyd Keet last June,
was directly favorable to the defense,
it is believed.
The failure of Richard Crenshaw to
identify Pierson positively as one of
the men he saw lettering on the Cren-
shaw farm where Baby Keet's body
was found in an abandoned we'll, was
believed to have dealt a severe blow
to the deliberately constructed case of
the prosecution.
