M'GANNON SAYS STATE
 WITNESSES ALL LIED
Accused Takes Stand and Makes General Denial in
 Dramatic Climax of Trial.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 2S.-The de- fense in the second degree murder trial of William H. McGannon, chief justice of the municipal court, charged with the staying of Harold c. Kagy on May S, brought its case to a dramatic climax at noon today, when Judge Me Cannon took the witness stand in his ow defense and denied every accusa tion made against him.
 He practically repeated the testi- mony he gave in the trial of John w. Joyce, acquitted of the murder of Kagy, denying that he was present when the fatal shot was fired.
 He denied he was intoxicated on the night of the killing, but admitted he had taken two drinks before meeting Joyce.
 Judge McGannon swore that the automobile stopped at the corner of Euclid avenue and East Ninth street. five blocks from the scene of the shooting; that he left the machine there, after bidding Kagy good night and telling Joyce if there was any place he wanted to go, Kagy would drive him there. He took a car for home at 12:30 d. m., he said, reaching there a few minutes after one o'clock and went directly to bed.
 Reference to Miss Mary Nicely, chief witness for the state. and her story then came into the judges testimony.
 He admitted he knew Miss Neely. but declared he had seen her only a few times during the year.
 He said he had been in her home but twice since the shooting and de- nied that he had offered her $500 to change her story as given to County Prosecutor Baskin and the grand jury.
 Mrs. Anna McGannon, wife of the judge, told of his return home shortly after one o'clock on the morning of the killing.
 Kagy's purported dying statement, in which he accused John w. Joyce of shooting him, was ruled out of the defense evidence by Judge Maurice Bernon this morning. - =
