TWO THEORIES IN
DEATH ARE PUT
BEFORE !URYMEN
State Accuses Shaw, While
Defense Builds Up TeSti-
mony on AIibi,

The jury IN the case OF John
Thomas Shaw, charged with the mur.
der of Mrs. Helen Hager Whelchel. %.
of 1854 Applegate St, had before it
today two entirely conflicting stories
concerning the murder.
The state built up an extremely
strong clrcumstantial case against
Shaw. But there is not word OF
direct evidence In the record.
The defense denied almost all the
statements Of State witnesses and
built up an alibl for Shaw.
I was obvious the statements Of
both sides could not be true. The jury
had 20 decide whom 10 believe.
The State showed by witnesses:
That Shaw was on Indiana Ave. the
night of Nov 27, when the murder
was committed.
That he left the avenue at about
II o'clock. a short time before Mrs.
Whelchel was thrust into a Ford au
tomobile as she stepped from a street
car at Iowa and East SITS
That Shaw was driving a Ford tour
ing car when he left the avenue.
That Shaw had in his possession
the following morning. . short time
after the body Of Mrs Whelchel was
found where It had been dropped from
a bridge over the Big -Four railroad
west Of the city, a watch and dia-
mond ring stolen from Mrs. Whelchel
That Shaw's automobile was stained
with human blood.
That Jim G4unky) John, from
whom Shaw says he obtained the
jewelry could not have been con
nected with the murder.
The defense has shown in refuta-
ton. largely by Shaw's own state
ments:
That Shaw left Indiana Ave at
about II p. m. driving q Ford tour
ing car.
That he went directly to Johns
home.
That John borrowed his car. leaving
Shaw in his house.
That John returned sometime later
and that Shaw took the car and went
home to bed.
That Shaw went to work at Kingan
& Co. the following morning and that
John then gave him the watch and
ring. asking him to pawn them.
That the blood stains on Shaw s
automobile were placed there by n
man who cut his thumb while repair
ing a light on the car.
