ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
White Plains n. Y. SEM. .:

White Plains, n. y. Sept. 81
Shortly after the opening of court to
day the state rested its case in the
prosecution of Walter S. Ward.
Enlarged with numbering Clarence
Peters.
The action on the part of the prose-
cution came Unexpectedly. 1t had been
thought that presentation of the
states case would take at least several
days more. The announcement was
made following a conference in JUS
tice Wagoner's chambers. at which
Ralph Ward, brother of the accused
man was present.
: Only one witness was called today.
Supreme Court Justice Wagner to-
day denied a motion of Isaac n.
Mills, chief defense counsel for dis
missal of the first degree murder in
,lictment against the son of the mil
: lionaire baker.
Court Is Adjourned.
b The motion, the third to be made
by Mills and denied by Justice Wag-
/, ner, was put before the court after
Attorney General Sherman had rested
the states case. In order TO hear argu-
ments on it, regular court proceedings
in the trial had been adjourned until
tomorrow morning.
J; Court spectators yesterday expe-
rienced two thrills.
One when Beryl Curtis Ward. wife
of the accused. took the stand and
told Of her husbands return home on
the night of the shooting. s.
The other was when Mrs. 1nez
Peters, mother of the slain ex-sailor,
testified that her son was "good
boy" and that, despite his little
brushes with the law and his inabil-
>ity TO hold a steady job, he had never
peen in serious trouble.
Prosecutor O'Neill declared yester-
day that the defendants story of
blackmail as reason for the killing
was a pure fabrication" and merely
means Of getting money from his
millionaire father. ,
The court ruled that the letters
/ could not be admitted.
O'Neill said the prosecution intend
ed to show that Clarence Peters
I was not the kind TO blackmail or to
kill man."
We'll prove that Wards story of
killing this man in sclf-defense was
- pure fabrication. O'Neill said.
81 Black Mail Story Framed?
"We'll prove that Wards story OF
this blackmail plot was just framed
as means of getting money out OF
his wealthy father" ,.-
When Ward gave himself IN three
days after the body of Peters had
been found. he said, in a statement
submitted by counsel. that Peters and
two others had been trying to get
money from him.
Since that day exact Information
as to what the circumstances Of the
blackmail plot were have been lack
\ ing.
The only definite legal hint as 10
I what it could have been was an af-
fidavit read to the jury last week.
1t was made by James Cunningham,
i race track follower.
1t charged that George s. Ward
was victimized by his son, who was
n used in plot with Ross" and "Rog-
ers.' the much sought blackmailers.
n The elder Ward did not pay, but
