SISTER
TELLS Of KILLING

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct 19.-No
noise or unusual sound of any char
acter preceded the shot which ended
the life of Father James F. Coyle.
according to the testimony of Miss
Marcella Coyle, sister of the priest,
witness today in the trial of the Rev.
Edwin r. Stephenson. charged with
second degree murder.
Miss Coyle described the manner
in which she found Father Coyle's
body when she reached his side.
The minister, she testified, walked
rapidly down the rectory steps and
toward the county courthouse, adj
joining> the parish yard, pistol in
hand. Ehe priest occupied seat in
swing on the veranda; the minister
sat in a chair. She testified that
there was no sound of a scuffle in
so far as she heard before three
shots rang out. The witness point
ed out the scene of the killing on
a diagram. She testified that she was
on the lower floor of the rectory
at the time Of the shooting.
w. D. Childs, an eyewitness, testi-
lieu IIldL I10 IlS6tI 11OI1llI1S bSAOA =
the shots were fired. He saw the
minister turn quickly and walk to-
ward the courthouse after the shoot"
ing, he said. The witness said he
stood on the sidewalk, facing the
rectory, some thirty yards distant.
State Closes Case
The state sprang a surprise just
before the noon recess by the an
fhot jtc closed
The announcement came after the
fifth witness, j. F. Greer, had left
the stand. States counsel said that
other witnesses might be put Up in
Srebuttal.
Attorney Hugo Black, for the. de-
Tense, Immediately asked that it be
granted time in which to arrange
witnesses and prepare for the de-
fense's case. Judge William E. Fort
Immediately ordered all defense wit
nesses into the grand jury room for
conference with defense attorneys
and recessed court until 2 o'clock.
The defense opened with the aft
ernoon session. While rs defense
witnesses apparently will be called
the list having been reduced to that
number from the 10 originally call
forward just as rapidly as did the
state. Stephenson's fate probably
will rest with the jury late tomor-
l ow or early Thursday, it was be-
lieVed.
The briefness of the prosecutions
case led to the belief that the ex-
animation Of defense witnesses will
be short.
DR.. J. M. Mason, who attended
Father Coyle after he was shot by
Stephenson, was the states first
witness. He testified regarding the
priests wounds.
: Edward McGinty, corroborated
Childs' testimony that there were
no sounds Of an argument or scuffle
before the shooting.
