The defense maintained that Wells
shot his sweetheart In self defense
after she had attacked him In q Jeai-
Gus rage.
Testimony by a police detective
that Wells had confessed was the
most damaging evidence given by the
prosecution.
The evidence of the Commonwealth.
which sought to prove premeditated
murder. was largely q variancs with
that of the defense, which undertook
to hold up Eva Boyd as a woman OF
demoniacaI rage, believing that Wells
had forsaken her for another woman
and about to brain him with a bottle,
when the youth fred in self-defense.
The prosecution scored heavily
when q police officer testified that
Wells had confessed to him he had
shot the woman Intentionally and that
half an hour before the killing Wells
had telephoned his little brother at
aome to bring him his revolver.
Wells testimony was listened to
eagerly. for 1t was the frst time he
has assumed the explanatory role.
He said the woman was drunk, but
that when sober she held an influence
over him that was too much for him
to combat He went to her house the

thought they were a happy couple.
but later found l was mistaken.
KUEHLING NEVER LEFT.
From the day they arrived at my
house until July Z, when they left,
Kuehling only left his wife's side on
one occasion. This was on one day
when he went into town to send a
telegram. Mrs. Kuehling on that day

She told me how he had ill-treated
her in Detroit, and one morning when

IL ! would take her along. Kuehling
objected. but she insisted she wanted
to go. She began to cry, and Kueh-

when kuehlInE seized his wife behind
