District Attorney Weeks and Sher-

first took charge of Peters body in

it contained a joker but was minus a

ion expressed today to local newspa-
per, declared that il Walter s. Ward

further details are brought out re-
garding the shooting of Clarence Pet
ers there is nothing in the criminal
law Of New York state under which he
can be punished in any way for the
confessed killing"
IF his story is untrue, IL il turns

difference does that make? Suppose
Ward is lying? What Of it? 1t il al
ways up TO the state to prove that a
crime was committed. In a capital
case like this, mans confession must
be backed by the testimony Of corro-
borating witnesses. One can't be con-
victed Of capital offense in New York
solely on confession. His story can't
be used against him"
Ward cannot be called upon to tes-
tify should his case come to trial, IL
he doesn't want to testify. and his re-
fusal. under the New York law can
not be taken by the jury as an evil
dence Of guilt. Mr.. Steur pointed out
