Responsibility for the shooting of
Bert McNeece was denied by w. W.
Wilder this morning when he took the
stand as first witness for the defense
in his trial for second degree MUIR
der. Charles Jones, who on We'd
ncsday afternoon was introduced as
star witness for the state, was ac-
cused by Wilder of having shot Nc
Neece.
Milder's accusation created mild
selution in court room and confirmed
the belief of the prosecution and of
the audience that the defense was at
tempting to prove that Wilder had not
done the shooting. Jones, who, 1t de-
vcioped yesterday. was the one and
only eyewitness to the shooting de-
clared that Wilder shot and killed
McNeece on the afternoon of Sunday,
September IA, 1919.
Points Against Defense.
Two telling points against the de-
Tense so far however, are the alleged
confession of the crime which Wilder
made before Sheriff Til Taylor and
Deputy Joe Blakely and Jones asser-
tion that Attorney George IL. Bishop
counsel for Wilder, called him into
his office and requested that he
change his story. in which he told that
he saw Wilder fire two pistol shots at
McNeece.
In the examination of Wilder today
he declared that the alleged confes-
sion was made to the sheriff in order
to stop the third degree to which the
sheriff subjected hirn. He testified
that he was within his house at the
time of the shooting and, upon hear.

LONDON, (By MaiD A low-neCked

garment.
Any one doubling this statement is
at liberty to consult Professor Leonard

tions for the Medical Research Com
mittee.
A bashful man would shrink from
investigating so flimsy and decollate a
portion of womens wearing apparel.
But Professor Hill isn't bashful.
He investigated and made discover
les, all in the sacred cause of science.
He asserted that the blouse does not
cause pneumonia, but it is conductive
to good health-the open neck acting
as chimney to he clothes, letting
heat and moisture escape.
This (the discovery, not the blouse)
leaves women cold. They always
knew it. It's one of those things they
might have told Professor Hill, saving
him all the expense of research work.
